Download as PDF 9778 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 52 / Monday, March 18, 2019 / Notices fabrication and finishing processes, including any abrasive blasting, metalworking (which includes machining, and dry grinding and dry polishing with machines), spray painting, and welding operations. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of facilities in the nine metal fabrication and finishing source categories. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX). Total estimated burden: 39,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $4,440,000 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the labor hours and cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to the addition of burden hours to more accurately account for the time spent by existing facilities to re-familiarize themselves annually with the rule requirements.

II. Background Registration review is EPA’s periodic review of pesticide registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed interim decisions for all pesticides listed in the Table in Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment. III. Authority EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in or on food. IV. What action is the agency taking? Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability of EPA’s interim registration review decisions for the pesticides shown in the following table. The interim registration review decisions are supported by rationales included in the docket established for each chemical.

    The proposed interim registration review decisions for the 
chemicals in the table above were posted to the docket and the public 
was invited to submit any comments or new information. EPA addressed 
the comments or information received during the 60-day comment period 
for the proposed interim decisions in the discussion for each pesticide 
listed in the table. Comments from the 60-day comment period that were 
received may or may not have affected the Agency's interim decision. 
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket for 
the chemicals listed in the Table will remain open until all actions 
required in the interim decision have been completed.
    This document also announces the posting of the amended interim 
decisions for ethalfluralin and hexazinone. The original interim 
decision for ethalfluralin was published on December 15, 2017 (82 FR 
59606) (FRL-9970-54) and the original interim decision for hexazinone 
as published on February 27, 2018 (83 FR 8472) (FRL-9973-09). Following 
issuance of these decisions, the agency received information that 
resulted in it amending the required label modifications. These 
modifications are expected to allow applicators greater flexibility, 
while not affecting the agency's overall risk management 
determinations.
    This document also announces the closure of the registration review 
case for triforine (Case 2720, Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0853) 
because the last U.S. registrations for this pesticide have been 
canceled. Background on the registration review program is provided at: 
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: March 5, 2019.
Charles Smith,
Acting Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
