following list of North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes 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

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 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

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. The UDAF and 

the MDA have requested the EPA 

Administrator to issue public health 

exemptions for the use of benzene, 1- 

(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-ethenyl-, polymer 

with ethenylbenzene and 2-methyl-1,3- 

butadiene, sulfonated (referred to as 

BIAXAM Polymer) to treat nonporous 

surfaces associated with the interior of 

aircraft and airports to control SARS– 

CoV–2. Information in accordance with 

40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part 

of these requests. 

As part of these requests, the 

applicants assert that SARS–CoV–2, the 

virus that causes COVID–19, presents a 

significant public health risk, 

particularly to airline passengers 

confined in a small space for an 

extended time period. Although contact 

liquid and spray disinfectants to control 

SARS–CoV–2 are available, the 

applicants state that there are no 

products available that provide ongoing 

residual protection against the virus. 

The applicants state that the requested 

product, a peel and stick film with 

BIAXAM polymer coating (BIAXAM 

Film), adheres to surfaces and kills 

SARS–CoV–2 when the virus contacts 

the surface, providing residual 

protection on surfaces to people who 

later come into contact. The applicants 

believe that the product will provide an 

essential tool to facilitate safe air travel 

by protecting against exposure to SARS– 

CoV–2 in airport terminals and aircraft. 

The Applicants propose to apply up 

to 70,000 square feet of BIAXAM film in 

Utah, and up to 74,000 square feet in 

Minnesota, to interior nonporous, nonfood-contact surfaces in airport facilities 

and aircraft owned or controlled by 

Delta Air Lines, Inc., within the states 

of Utah and Minnesota. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the applications 

themselves. The regulations governing 

FIFRA section 18 require publication of 

a notice of receipt of an application for 

a public health exemption proposing 

use of a new chemical (i.e., an active 

ingredient) which has not been 

registered as a pesticide by EPA. This 

notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the applications. 

The Agency will review and consider all 

comments received during the comment 

period in determining whether to issue 

the public health exemptions requested 

by the UDAF and the MDA.
