of past response costs. For thirty (30) 

days following the date of publication of 

this notice, the Agency will receive 

written comments relating to the 

settlement. The Agency will consider all 

comments received and may modify or 

withdraw its consent to the settlement 

if comments received disclose facts or 

considerations which indicate that the 

settlement is inappropriate, improper, 

or inadequate. The Agency’s response to 

any comments received will be available 

for public inspection at the U.S. EPA 

Region 10 offices, located at 1200 Sixth 

Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101.

900, Seattle, Washington 98101; (206) 

553–4710. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Le 

Roi Smelter Site is located in Northport, 

Stevens County, Washington (Site). Site 

operations conducted between 1898 and 

1921 involved the smelting and 

processing or ore. Between 1953 and 

1998, the Site was operated as a lumber 

mill. Site smelting operations produced 

slag that contained hazardous 

substances including the heavy metals 

lead and arsenic. Slag was disposed of 

at the Site and discharged to the 

Columbia River through a series of 

flumes. The smelter smokestack emitted 

ore constituents, including lead and 

arsenic, which were dispersed and 

deposited at the Site and on nearby 

properties. In 2004, the Agency selected 

and implemented a removal action to 

address public health and 

environmental threats from the presence 

of lead and arsenic contaminated soil at 

concentrations above applicable 

cleanup standards. The removal action 

involved the demolition of historic 

smelter structures and the excavation of 

contaminated soil from the Site and 

twenty-nine residential and common 

use properties. The smelter structure 

and excavated soil was consolidated at 

the Site beneath a protective cap. 

The Site is currently owned by the 

Cecil A. Frazier exemption equivalent 

trust. The Agency is proposing to enter 

into an administrative settlement with 

the Cecil A. Frazier Exemption 

Equivalent Trust and the Estate of Marie 

M. Frazier. The settlement would 

require the settling parties to pay 

$100,000 to the Hazardous Substance 

Superfund and to implement 

institutional controls developed to 

ensure the removal action remains 

protective of human health and the 

environment. The institutional controls 

would be implemented by recording an 

environmental covenant pursuant to 

Washington’s Uniform Environmental 

Covenant Act that would impose certain 

restrictions on the use of the property 

and obligations to maintain components 

of the removal action such as the 

protective cap. The settlement 

agreement would also require the 

settling parties to provide the town of 

Northport with an option to purchase 

the Site for the purpose of placing the 

Site back in productive use that is 

consistent with the imposed 

institutional controls. The proposed 

settlement will provide the settling 

parties with a release of liability subject 

to certain rights reserved by the Agency.

Registration Review; Dichlorvos 

Docket Reopened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is opening an additional 

30–day public comment period for the 

registration review of dichlorvos 

(DDVP). EPA established a registration 

review docket for DDVP (EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2009–0209) and opened a 60–day 

public comment period for its 

registration review in the Federal 

Register issue of June 24, 2009 (74 FR 

30077) (FRL–8422–4). However, during 

this public comment period, the DDVP 

registration review docket was missing 

supporting documents listed in the 

‘‘Reader’s Guide to Dichlorvos (DDVP) 

Docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0209.’’ The 

Agency has since included these 

supporting documents in the docket and 

has chosen to open an additional 30– 

day comment period for the public to 

review and comment on the registration 

review of DDVP. Registration review is 

EPA’s periodic review of pesticide 

registrations to ensure that each 

pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration review. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the 

appropriate 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 

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. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iii. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

iv. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

v. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vi. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

vii. 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 DDVP, 

compared to the general population.

II. Authority 

EPA is initiating its review of DDVP 

pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural 

Regulations for Registration Review at 

40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) 

of FIFRA provides, among other things, 

that the registrations of pesticides are to 

be reviewed every 15 years. Under 

FIFRA section 3(a), a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5). When used in accordance with 

widespread and commonly recognized 

practice, the pesticide product must 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on the 

environment; that is, without any 

unreasonable risk to man or the 

environment, or a human dietary risk 

from residues that result from the use of 

a pesticide in or on food. 

III. Registration Reviews 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the DDVP pesticide 

registration to assure that it continues to 

satisfy the FIFRA standard for 

registration—that is, it can still be used 

without unreasonable adverse effects on 

human health or the environment. 

DDVP’s registration review began on 

June 24, 2009, when the Agency opened 

the DDVP registration review docket for 

public review and comment. At present, 

EPA is opening an additional 30–day 

comment period for the DDVP 

registration review docket. 

B. Docket Content 

1. Review dockets. The registration 

review dockets contain information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. On June 24, 

2009, the DDVP registration review 

docket contained a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about DDVP and a preliminary 

work plan for anticipated data and 

assessment needs. However, the docket 

was missing supporting documents, 

which provide more detailed 

information on what the Agency knows 

about DDVP’s environmental fate, 

ecological effects, human health effects, 

use, and usage. Therefore, the Agency is 

opening an additional public comment 

for 30 days so the public can review and 

comment on the following documents 

now available in the DDVP registration 

review docket: 

• Registration Review – Preliminary 

Problem Formulation for the Ecological 

Risk Assessment of Dichlorvos (DDVP), 

May 14, 2009. 

• Dichlorvos (DDVP). Human Health 

Assessment Scoping Document in 

Support of Registration Review, May 6, 

2009. 

• Appendix A: Food/Feed and NonFood/Non-Feed Uses Considered for 

Registration Review, May 23, 2008. 

• DDVP (084001) California 

Department of Agriculture Usage Data, 

November 7, 2008. 

During this public comment period, 

the Agency is asking that interested 

persons identify any additional 

information they believe the Agency 

should consider during the registration 

review of DDVP. In the DDVP summary 

document, the Agency has identified the 

areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on the registration review of 

DDVP may be located in the registration 

review schedule on the Agency’s 

website at http://www.epa.gov/

oppsrrd1/registration_review/

schedule.htm. Information on the 

Agency’s registration review program 

and its implementing regulation may be 

seen at http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/

registration_review. 

3. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during 

DDVP’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

• As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for DDVP will 

remain publicly accessible through the 

duration of the registration review 

process; that is, until all actions 

required in the final decision on the 

registration review case have been 

completed.
