### 53139 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 28, 2013 / Notices

I. Information About IRIS

EPA’s IRIS Program is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality science-based human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities and decisions to protect public health. The IRIS database contains information for more than 500 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the human health risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides health effects information and toxicity values for health effects (including cancer and effects other than cancer). Government and others combine IRIS toxicity values with exposure information to characterize public health risks of chemical substances; this information is then used to support risk management decisions designed to protect public health.

II. Extension of Comment Period

The EPA is extending the deadline for submitting comments on the draft ‘‘Evaluation of the Inhalation Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide’’ and on the draft peer review charge questions to October 11, 2013. The original deadline for comments was September 5, 2013. The EPA’s decision responds to requests to extend the comment deadline. The EPA believes that this extension will assist in providing an adequate amount of additional time for the public to review the drafts and to provide written
comments. III. Bimonthly Public Meeting

In addition to the extension to the public comment period announced in this notice, the draft assessment will be discussed at the first IRIS bimonthly public meeting scheduled for October 23–24, 2013. Information on this meeting, including meeting location, time, registration, and participation procedures will be available at the IRIS Web site (http://www.epa.gov/iris/ publicmeeting/ ). The purpose of the IRIS public meeting is to allow all interested parties to present scientific and technical comments on the draft IRIS health assessment and charge questions to EPA and other interested parties attending the meeting.

IV. Peer Review

In addition to this public comment period, the draft assessment will be reviewed by the EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB) Chemical Assessment Advisory Committee (CAAC) for peer review. The EPA SAB is a body established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act with a broad mandate to advise the Agency on scientific matters. The public comment period and bimonthly public meeting announced in this notice are separate processes from the SAB/CAAC peer review. The SABwill schedule one or more public peerreview meetings which will be announced in a separate Federal Register Notice at a later date.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution, or use of pesticides. B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 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.

to:

i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

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. II. What action is the agency taking?

This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from registrants to cancel 17 pesticide products registered under FIFRA section 3 or 24(c). These registrations are listed in sequence by registration number (or company number and 24(c) number) in Table 1 of this unit.

This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from the registrant Nufarm SA to cancel the last three remaining amitrole product registrations. Amitrole is a triazole-containing herbicide registered for use for outdoor generalweed control to non-agricultural rightsof-way, industrial and construction sites, fencerows, and other uncultivated areas. Tolerances are not currently established for amitrole as there are no registered food or feed uses. There are no residential uses currently registered for amitrole. The registration review process for amitrole began in June 2011, with the issuance of the Preliminary Work Plan for Registration Review in the docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–0105 for a 60-day public comment period. The Amitrole Final Work Plan for Registration Review was completed and placed in the docket in December 2011, and the registration review data-call-in was issued in November 2012. Nufarm SA is the only current registrant of amitrole products. In a letter to EPA, dated May 30, 2013, Nufarm SA requested voluntary cancellation of the amitrole technical product (EPA Registration No. 33688–5) and the two remaining amitrole end-use products (EPA Registration Nos. 33688–6 and 33688–10). These are the last three amitrole products registered for use in the United States.

Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register canceling all of the affected registrations listed in Table 1 of this unit.
