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

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 SAB 

will schedule one or more public peerreview meetings which will be 

announced in a separate Federal 

Register Notice at a later date.

further review of the requests, or unless 

the registrants withdraw its requests. If 

these requests are granted, any sale, 

distribution, or use of products listed in 

this notice will be permitted after the 

registration has been canceled only if

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

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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

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.

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 general 

weed 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.
