**SUMMARY :**  EPA has received a specific exemption request from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to use the pesticide streptomycin sulfate (CAS No. 3810–74–0) to treat up to 54,000 acres of freshmarket grapefruit to control citrus canker (caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.

**INFORMATION CONTACT**

**.** 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 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.

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 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 Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) has requested the Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of streptomycin sulfate on fresh-market grapefruit to control citrus canker. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request.

As part of this request, the applicant asserts that available alternative controls cause phytotoxic effects when used during higher temperatures, and therefore are not adequate to effectively control citrus canker in grapefruit grown for the fresh market. The FDACS claims that significant economic losses are occurring and that this introduced pathogen has become a serious threat to the fresh-market grapefruit industry in the state of Florida.

The Applicant proposes to make no more than two applications per crop of streptomycin sulfate, at a rate of 0.448 lb active ingredient per acre (a.i./A), equivalent to 2 lbs. formulated product per acre. A maximum total of 0.896 lb a.i./Acre (4 lbs product/A) could be applied on up to 54,000 acres of grapefruit in June through September of


### 69736 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Notices

2012. Use could potentially occur statewide, but would primarily be in the commercial grapefruit-producing counties of Polk, Hendry, Highlands, De Soto, Hardee, St. Lucie, Indian River, Collier, Manatee and Martin Counties. At maximum rates, applications, and acreage, 48,384 lbs of a.i. (216,000 lbs product) could be used under the proposed program.

This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA allow for publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption if the Administrator determines that publication of a notice is appropriate. The applicant proposes a use of a pesticide containing streptomycin sulfate, which is also used in human and animal treatment as an antibiotic. 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 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. List of Subjects
