My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

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

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. 

II. Background 

A. FIFRA Registrations 

On January 31, 2008, EPA received 

applications from BASF Corporation, 26 

Davis Dr., P.O. Box 13528, Research 

Triangle Park, NC 27709–3528, to 

register six new pesticide products 

containing saflufenacil as an active 

ingredient under section 3 of FIFRA, 7 

U.S.C. 136a. Saflufenacil is a light 

dependent peroxidizing herbicide 

(LDPH) which acts by inhibiting 

protoporphyrinogen-oxidase (PPO) in 

the heme and chlorophyll biosynthetic 

pathway in plants. The applications 

sought the use of saflufenacil on a wide 

variety of agricultural use sites (cereal 

small grains, corn, chickpeas, cotton, 

edible beans and peas, lentils, lupine, 

sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, fruit 

tree orchards, nut tree orchards and 

vineyards) as well as non-agricultural 

sites, including pine plantations, rightsof-way, bare ground and Christmas tree 

plantations. 

The applications have been approved 

as Kixor Herbicide Technical (EPA 


CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 30, 2009 / Notices 50187 

Registration Number 7969-275), Treevix 

Powered by Kixor Herbicide (EPA 

Registration Number 7969-276), 

Sharpen Powered by Kixor Herbicide 

(EPA Registration Number 7969-278), 

Integrity Powered by Kixor Herbicide 

(EPA Registration Number 7969-279), 

Optill Powered by Kixor Herbicide (EPA 

Registration Number 7969-280), and 

BAS 800 02/03 Powered by Kixor 

Herbicide (EPA Registration Number 

7969-277. 

The Agency approved the 

applications after considering all 

required data on risks associated with 

the proposed use of saflufenacil, and 

information on social, economic, and 

environmental benefits to be derived 

from its use. Specifically, the Agency 

considered the nature of the chemical 

and its pattern of use, application 

methods and rates, and level and extent 

of potential exposure. Based on these 

reviews, the Agency was able to make 

basic health and safety determinations 

which show that saflufenacil, when 

used in accordance with widespread 

and commonly recognized practice, will 

not generally cause unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment. 

B. FFDCA Tolerances 

Along with the applications for 

registration of Kixor Herbicide 

Technical, Treevix Powered by Kixor 

Herbicide, Sharpen Powered by Kixor 

Herbicide, Integrity Powered by Kixor 

Herbicide, Optill Powered by Kixor 

Herbicide, and BAS 800 02/03 Powered 

by Kixor Herbicide, BASF Corporation 

filed a petition for tolerances under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a. The petition requested that 

tolerances be established for residues of 

saflufenacil in or on legume vegetables 

(group 06), citrus fruits (group 10), 

pome fruits (group 11), stone fruits 

(group 12), tree nuts (group 14), 

pistachio, cereal grains (group 15), 

undelinted cotton seed, cotton gin 

byproducts, grape, foliage of legume 

vegetables (group 07), forage, fodder and 

straw of cereal grains (group 16), 

sorghum stover, almond hulls, 

sunflower seed, animal kidney, and 

animal liver. 

In the Federal Register of June 13, 

2008 (73 FR 33814) (FRL–8367–3), EPA 

issued a notice pursuant to section 

408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 

346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of this 

petition. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Although the Agency solicited 

comments on the petition for tolerances 

under the FFDCA, it did not do so 

regarding the applications for 

registration under FIFRA. Therefore, 

EPA is now seeking comment on the 

registrations for the saflufenacil 

technical and end-use products, issued 

under section 3 of FIFRA. After 

consideration of all comments received, 

the Agency will take appropriate action 

based on that consideration and issue 

another Federal Register notice 

responding to comments received.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

The organic arsenicals include the 

pesticides monosodium 

methanearsonate (MSMA), disodium 

methanearsonate (DSMA), calcium acid 

methanearsonate (CAMA), and 

cacodylic acid and its sodium salt. The 

requests terminate the following uses of 

MSMA: Residential; forestry; nonbearing fruit and nuts; citrus, bearing 

and non-bearing; bluegrass, fescue and 

ryegrass grown for seed; drainage ditch 

banks; railroad, pipeline, and utility 

rights of way; fence rows; storage yards; 

and similar non-crop areas. In addition, 

the requests terminate all uses of MSMA 

in Florida except for use on cotton 

grown in Calhoun, Columbia, Escambia, 

Gadsden, Hamilton, Holmes, Jackson, 

Jefferson, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, 

Suwannee, Walton, and Washington 

counties. The requests would not 

terminate the last MSMA products 

registered for use in the United States. 

These requests for voluntary 

cancellation and amendment of MSMA 

containing products are the result of an 

agreement in principle signed by the 

EPA and the technical registrants of the
