SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are a pesticide
manufacturer, North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) (Code 32532) or involved with
the International Space Station. This
listing is not intended to be exhaustive,
but rather provides a guide to help
readers determine whether this
document applies to them. Other types
of entities not listed could also be
affected.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly
mark the part or all of the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your

Jkt 259001
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
commenting-epa-dockets.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under section 18 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the
discretion of the EPA Administrator, a
Federal or State agency may be
exempted from any provision of FIFRA
if the EPA Administrator determines
that emergency conditions exist which
require the exemption. NASA has
requested the EPA Administrator to
issue a specific exemption for the use of
ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) in the
coolant of the internal active thermal
control system (IATCS) of the
International Space Station (ISS) to
control aerobic/microaerophilic bacteria
in the aqueous coolant. Information in
accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was
submitted as part of this request.
As part of this request, the applicant
asserted that it has considered the
registered biocide alternatives and has
concluded that OPA is the most
effective biocide that meets the requisite
criteria including: The need for safe,
non-intrusive implementation and
operation in a functioning system; the
ability to control existing planktonic
and biofilm-residing micro-organisms; a
negligible impact on system wetted
materials of construction; and a
negligible reactivity with existing
coolant additives. The ISS would not
have an adequate long-term solution for
controlling the micro-organisms in the
IATCS coolant without the use of OPA.
The OPA is incorporated into a porous
resin material contained in a stainlesssteel canister. The canister containing
the OPA-incorporated resin is inserted
into a coolant system loop, using
flexible hose and quick disconnects and
is placed in line for 8 hours to deliver
the OPA into the fluid. As the coolant
fluid flows through the cannister, the
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
OPA elutes from the resin material into
the coolant fluid. The total volume of
the circulatory loops of the IATCS is
829 liters. The maximum concentration
would be 350 milligrams (mg) of OPA
per liter of coolant fluid. A total of
290,150 mg would be needed for the
entire system. The OPA is incorporated
into the resin at 210 mg OPA per cm3
resin, resulting in a potential total use
of 1,382 cm3 of the OPA-containing
resin. The level of OPA in the coolant
is monitored periodically, and because
OPA degrades over time, the
concentration decreases to a level that is
no longer effective in about 1 to 2 years.
At this point, replenishment with new
OPA-containing canisters is required.
EPA has authorized similar emergency
exemptions for this use since 2011.
With the decision to extend the mission
of the ISS to 2030, the need for this use
is expected to continue for the duration
of the program.
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. The regulations governing FIFRA
section 18 require publication of a
notice of receipt of an application for a
specific exemption proposing the use of
a new chemical (i.e., an active
ingredient) which has not been
registered by EPA.
The notice provides an opportunity
for public comment on the application.
The Agency will review and consider all
comments received during the comment
period in determining whether to issue
the specific exemption requested by the
NASA.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

FM and DTV broadcast station (including a DTS facility), or to make
changes in the existing facilities of such a station. Schedule 340 is
only used if the station will operate on a channel that is reserved
exclusively for NCE use, or in the situation where applications for NCE
stations on non-reserved channels are mutually exclusive only with one
another. Also, Schedule 340 is used by Native American Tribes and
Alaska Native Villages (Tribes), tribal consortia, or entities owned or
controlled by Tribes when qualifying for the ``Tribal Priority'' under
47 CFR 73.7000, 73.7002. Additionally, Schedule 340 contains a third
party disclosure requirement, pursuant to section 73.3580. This rule
requires local public notice of the filing of all applications to
construct a new full-service NCE FM or DTV broadcast station. Notice is
given by an NCE applicant by posting notice of the application filing
on its station's website, its licensee's website, its parent entity's
website, or on a publicly accessible, locally targeted website, for 30
consecutive days beginning within five business days of acceptance of
the application for filing. Furthermore, the online notice must link to
a copy of the application as filed, either in the station's Online
Public Inspection File or in another Commission database. This
recordkeeping information collection requirement is contained in OMB
Control No. 3060-0214, which covers section 73.3527.
