EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. Abstract: EPA is required under Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428) manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This ICR covers the burdens associated with this certification process. EPA reviews information submitted in the application for certification to determine if the container design conforms to applicable requirements and to verify that the required testing has been performed. The certificate holder is required to keep records on the testing and collect and keep warranty and defect information for annual reporting on in-use performance of their products. The respondent must also retain records on the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual containers, and track the serial numbers to their certificates of conformity. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in capacity. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory 40 CFR part 59, subpart F. Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total). Frequency of response: yearly for warranty reports; at least once every five years for certificate renewals. Total estimated burden: 250 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b) Total estimated cost: $32,419.45 (per year), includes $20,452 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 37 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase of the estimated burden and cost estimates is due to a change in the estimated cost of labor and additional testing requirements for new portable fuel container families to comply with the requirements for evaporative testing promulgated in 40 CFR part 59. Dated: April 14, 2016. Byron J. Bunker, Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.

Aquashade is as an aquatic herbicide whose mode of action is light filtration. It is primarily used in small water bodies like ornamental ponds and small lakes, fountains and other landscaping water features, swimming holes, aquaculture ponds, and animal watering holes. The Ecological Risk Assessment found no level of concern risk exceedances to all taxa. The Human Health Risk Assessment also indicated no risk (dietary, residential, and occupational). Aquashade was not on either initial list of chemicals to be screened under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), and an endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time. No mitigation is proposed at this time. The Agency’s final registration review decision is dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened and endangered species and after an EDSP Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Section 408(p) determination has been made. Nithiazine (Interim Decision). The Nithiazine Summary Document was published on March 18, 2009. Nithiazine is used as part of a bait station to control flies in animal housing facilities and other industrial operations. The structure of the bait station makes contact between nithiazine and humans unlikely; therefore, there are no human health risk concerns for nithiazine. Since the active ingredient is contained in a bait station, no ecological exposure is expected. Therefore, there are no ecological risk concerns for nithiazine. Nithiazine does not pose a threat to pollinators and the Agency has determined that it will cause No Effect to listed species. The Agency has determined that no additional data are required at this time to support the continuing registrations of nithiazine products. The final decision on the registration review for nithiazine will occur after an EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination has been made. d-Limonene (Interim Decision).

Rachel Ricciardi, ricciardi.rachel@epa.gov, (703) 347–0465. limonene opened in September 2010. dLimonene is a naturally occurring chemical obtained from the rind of citrus fruits. It is registered for use as an acaricide, insecticide, herbicide, insect repellent, and is used as an inert ingredient for scent and flavoring in other non-pesticide products. dLimonene is currently registered for use in/on food crops (citrus, pome fruits, grapes), feed crops, non-food crops (ornamentals, Christmas trees, fencerows, recreational areas, wood protection) and for residential uses. EPA published the draft human health and ecological risk assessments in December 2014. A qualitative human health assessment was conducted, and the Agency concluded that d-limonene does not pose a risk to human health. A quantitative ecological risk assessment was conducted and levels of concern were exceeded for terrestrial plants and mammals (risks to birds and terrestrial invertebrates could not be precluded). The Agency is requiring modifications to several labels to reduce potential risks of d-limonene to terrestrial birds and mammals. In addition, the Agency will make several modifications to 40 CFR part 180. The Agency will establish an exemption for the herbicidal uses of d-limonene from a tolerance under subpart D, and existing exemption from tolerances from the repellant uses of dlimonene under 180.539 subpart C will be moved to subpart D for insecticidal uses. This Interim Decision does not cover the EDSP component of this registration review case, nor does it include a complete endangered species assessment or pollinator risk assessment. The Agency’s final registration review decision is dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened and endangered species and pollinators as well as a determination under FFDCA Section 408(p) regarding endocrine disruption. 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6-dihydro-2- methyl- (Interim Decision). There is one EPA registered product containing active ingredient 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-3(4H)-one, 5,6- dihydro-2- methyl-, also known as PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 MTI. MTI is a materials preservative for use in the manufacture of aqueous compositions used in the manufacture of imaging products. The Agency did not require any additional data in support of MTI’s registration review or need to conduct human health or environmental risk assessments due to the lack of exposure concerns for MTI’s registered use. Based on the lack of potential exposure, the Agency made a ‘‘no effect’’ determination for listed species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Except for the EDSP component of the MTI registration review case, the Agency is not requiring additional data and is not proposing any risk reduction measures for this case. The final decision on the registration review for MTI will occur after the EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination is made. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the Agency’s determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the standard for registration in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the pesticides found in the Table in this unit in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The Interim Decision document in the dockets describes the Agency’s rationale for issuing a registration review interim decision for these pesticides. In addition to the interim registration review decision documents, the registration review dockets for the pesticides listed in the Table in this unit also includes other relevant documents related to the registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration review decisions were posted to the docket and the public was invited to submit any comments or new information. EPA addresses the comments or information received during the 60-day comment period in the discussion for each pesticide listed in this document. During the 60-day comment period, no public comments were received for aquashade, nithiazine, or 2HCyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6- E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1 23296 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 20, 2016 / Notices dihydro-2- methyl (MTI).

    Aquashade (Interim Decision). Aquashade is as an aquatic herbicide 
whose mode of action is light filtration. It is primarily used in small 
water bodies like ornamental ponds and small lakes, fountains and other 
landscaping water features, swimming holes, aquaculture ponds, and 
animal watering holes. The Ecological Risk Assessment found no level of 
concern risk exceedances to all taxa. The Human Health Risk Assessment 
also indicated no risk (dietary, residential, and occupational). 
Aquashade was not on either initial list of chemicals to be screened 
under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), and an 
endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time. No 
mitigation is proposed at this time. The Agency's final registration 
review decision is dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened 
and endangered species and after an EDSP Federal Food, Drug and 
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Section 408(p) determination has been made.
    Nithiazine (Interim Decision). The Nithiazine Summary Document was 
published on March 18, 2009. Nithiazine is used as part of a bait 
station to control flies in animal housing facilities and other 
industrial operations. The structure of the bait station makes contact 
between nithiazine and humans unlikely; therefore, there are no human 
health risk concerns for nithiazine. Since the active ingredient is 
contained in a bait station, no ecological exposure is expected. 
Therefore, there are no ecological risk concerns for nithiazine. 
Nithiazine does not pose a threat to pollinators and the Agency has 
determined that it will cause No Effect to listed species. The Agency 
has determined that no additional data are required at this time to 
support the continuing registrations of nithiazine products. The final 
decision on the registration review for nithiazine will occur after an 
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination has been made.
    d-Limonene (Interim Decision). The registration review docket for 
d-limonene opened in September 2010. d-Limonene is a naturally 
occurring chemical obtained from the rind of citrus fruits. It is 
registered for use as an acaricide, insecticide, herbicide, insect 
repellent, and is used as an inert ingredient for scent and flavoring 
in other non-pesticide products. d-Limonene is currently registered for 
use in/on food crops (citrus, pome fruits, grapes), feed crops, non-
food crops (ornamentals, Christmas trees, fencerows, recreational 
areas, wood protection) and for residential uses. EPA published the 
draft human health and ecological risk assessments in December 2014. A 
qualitative human health assessment was conducted, and the Agency 
concluded that d-limonene does not pose a risk to human health. A 
quantitative ecological risk assessment was conducted and levels of 
concern were exceeded for terrestrial plants and mammals (risks to 
birds and terrestrial invertebrates could not be precluded). The Agency 
is requiring modifications to several labels to reduce potential risks 
of d-limonene to terrestrial birds and mammals. In addition, the Agency 
will make several modifications to 40 CFR part 180. The Agency will 
establish an exemption for the herbicidal uses of d-limonene from a 
tolerance under subpart D, and existing exemption from tolerances from 
the repellant uses of d-limonene under 180.539 subpart C will be moved 
to subpart D for insecticidal uses. This Interim Decision does not 
cover the EDSP component of this registration review case, nor does it 
include a complete endangered species assessment or pollinator risk 
assessment. The Agency's final registration review decision is 
dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened and endangered 
species and pollinators as well as a determination under FFDCA Section 
408(p) regarding endocrine disruption.
    2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6-dihydro-2- methyl- 
(Interim Decision). There is one EPA registered product containing 
active ingredient 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-3(4H)-one, 5,6- dihydro-2- 
methyl-, also known as MTI. MTI is a materials preservative for use in 
the manufacture of aqueous compositions used in the manufacture of 
imaging products. The Agency did not require any additional data in 
support of MTI's registration review or need to conduct human health or 
environmental risk assessments due to the lack of exposure concerns for 
MTI's registered use. Based on the lack of potential exposure, the 
Agency made a ``no effect'' determination for listed species under the 
Endangered Species Act (ESA). Except for the EDSP component of the MTI 
registration review case, the Agency is not requiring additional data 
and is not proposing any risk reduction measures for this case. The 
final decision on the registration review for MTI will occur after the 
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination is made.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the 
Agency's determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 
standard for registration in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the pesticides found in the 
Table in this unit in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The 
Interim Decision document in the dockets describes the Agency's 
rationale for issuing a registration review interim decision for these 
pesticides.
    In addition to the interim registration review decision documents, 
the registration review dockets for the pesticides listed in the Table 
in this unit also includes other relevant documents related to the 
registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration 
review decisions were posted to the docket and the public was invited 
to submit any comments or new information.
    EPA addresses the comments or information received during the 60-
day comment period in the discussion for each pesticide listed in this 
document. During the 60-day comment period, no public comments were 
received for aquashade, nithiazine, or 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 
3(4H)-one, 5,6-

dihydro-2- methyl (MTI). Comments were received for d-limonene however 
the public comments received were not substantive and did not affect 
the Agency's interim decision.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket 
for the pesticides listed in the Table in Unit II will remain open 
until all actions required in the interim decisions have been 
completed.
