I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. This action may, however, be 

of interest to various environmental 

groups, farmers, state regulatory 

partners, other interested Federal 

agencies, members of the public 

interested in the sale, distribution, or 

use of pesticides, and other pesticide 

registrants and pesticide users. Since 

other entities may also be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected

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 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 


CPrice-Sewell on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 30, 2009 / Notices 50199 

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? 

EPA is making available for comment 

an amended registration application 

requesting the addition of multiple 

commodities onto the clothianidin 

technical (EPA Registration Number 

10308-32) and three end-use (59639- 

150, 59639-151 and 59639-152) labels. 

The Agency will evaluate all comments 

received during the comment period. 

The application would, if accepted, 

allow the use of clothianidin on the 

following commodities: Cotton; 

soybean; leafy vegetables, crop group 4; 

Brassica (Cole) vegetables, crop group 5; 

fruiting vegetables, crop group 8; 

cucurbits, crop group 9 and tree nuts, 

crop group 14. 

Following the review of the 

application, and any comments and data 

received in response to this solicitation, 

EPA will decide whether to issue or 

deny the amended registration 

application, and if issued, the 

conditions under which it is to be 

granted.

Requests to Amend Pesticide

Certain Products 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 

notice of receipt of requests by the 

registrants to amend their registrations 

to terminate uses of certain products 

containing the pesticide methyl 

bromide. The requests would terminate 

post harvest methyl bromide use in or 

on alfalfa hay and cottonseed. The 

requests would terminate alfalfa hay 

and cottonseed uses from all methyl 

bromide products registered for use in 

the United States. EPA intends to grant 

these requests at the close of the 

comment period for this announcement 

unless the Agency receives substantive 

comments within the comment period 

that would merit its further review of 

the requests, or unless the registrants 

withdraw their requests within this 

period. Upon acceptance of these 

requests, any sale, distribution, or use of 

products listed in this notice will be 

permitted only if such sale, distribution, 

or use is consistent with the terms as 

described in the final order.
