Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 a typical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, proposing the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. EPA has determined 

that the pesticide petitions described in 

this notice contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not 

fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether 

the data support granting of the 

pesticide petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this notice, prepared 

by the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for each rulemaking. 

The docket for each of the petitions is 

available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The FCC has a system of records, FCC/ 

OMD–9, ‘‘Commission Registration 

System (CORES),’’ to cover the 

collection, purpose(s), storage, 

safeguards, and disposal of the 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

that individual respondents may submit 

on FCC Form 160. The FCC will also 

redact PII submitted on this form before 

it makes FCC Form 160 available for 

public inspection. FCC Form 160 

includes a privacy statement to inform 

applicants (respondents) of the 

Commission’s need to obtain the 

information and the protections that the 

FCC has in place to protect the PII. 

Need and Uses: Respondents use FCC 

Form 160 to register in the FCC’;s 

Commission Registration System 

(CORES). Respondents may also register 

in CORES on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/ 

frnreg. When registering, the respondent 

receives a unique FCC Registration 

Number (FRN), which is required for 

anyone doing business with the 

Commission. FCC Form 160 is used to 

collect information that pertains to the 

entity’s name, address, contact 

representative, telephone number, email address, and fax number. The 

Commission uses this information to 

collect or report on any delinquent debt 

arising from the respondent’s business 

dealings with the FCC, including both 

‘‘feeable’’ and ‘‘nonfeeable’’ services; and 

to ensure that registrants (respondents) 

receive any refunds due. Use of the 

CORES System is also a means of 

ensuring that the Commission operates 

in compliance with the Debt Collection 

Improvement Act of 1996. 

The Commission has increased the 

number of respondents and number of 

responses by approximately 50,000 each 

to account for those who will now be 

filing FCC Form 323, ‘‘Ownership 

Report for Commercial Broadcast 

Stations.’’
