Kasugamycin; Receipt of Application 

for Emergency Exemption, Solicitation 

of Public Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has received a specific 

exemption request from the Oregon 

Department of Agriculture to use the 

pesticide kasugamycin (CAS No. 6980– 

18–3) to treat up to 2,000 acres of newly 

planted, non-bearing sweet or sour 

cherry orchards to control bacterial 

canker. The applicant proposes the use 

of a new chemical which has not been 

registered by the EPA. 

EPA is soliciting public comment before 

making the decision whether or not to 

grant the exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. Potentially 

affected entities may include, but are 

not limited to: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes have been provided to

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

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 e-mail. 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 Oregon 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of kasugamycin 

on newly planted, non-bearing sweet or 

sour cherry orchards to control bacterial 

canker. Information in accordance with 

40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part 

of this request and may be found in the 

docket for this notice. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that kasugamycin is needed to 

control alternative chemical-resistant 

strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. 

syringae, the major causal pathogen of 

bacterial canker of young sweet and 

sour cherry trees. Bacterial canker is a 

risk to the establishment of new cherry 

orchards and has become resistant to the 

alternative chemical products. The 

applicant states that the use of 

kasugamycin ‘‘in 2,000 acres of newly 

planted, high density sweet cherry 

orchards could help growers avert 

economic losses of nearly $5.1 million 

due to bacterial canker.’’ 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than two applications of Kasumin 

2L (2.0% kasugamycin) on a maximum 

of 2,000 acres of newly planted, nonbearing sweet or sour cherry orchards 

between March 1, 2010 and November 

30, 2010 in Benton, Clackamas, Lane, 

Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, 

Washington, Yamhill, Hood River, 

Sherman, Wasco, Umatilla, and Union 

counties in Oregon. As currently 

proposed, the maximum amount of 

product to be applied would be 2,000 

gallons. EPA has decided to open a 

shortened comment period and solicit 

input and comments from the public for 

10 days. In general, the length of a 

comment period for an emergency 

exemption application is 15 days. 

However, EPA is shortening this 

comment period to 10 days due to the 

limited time available to consider this 

request with regard to the requested use 

season. Because of these factors, EPA 

determined that a 10–day comment 

period is appropriate. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing section 

18 of FIFRA require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

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 Oregon Department of 

Agriculture.
