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. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532).

CONTACT for the division listed at the 

end of the pesticide petition summary of 

interest. 

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 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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

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 pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

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

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. Additional 

data may be needed before EPA can 

make a final determination on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available at http://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the microbial insecticide 

Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple

47 CFR Part 90 

[PS Docket 12–94, PS Docket 06–229, WT 

Docket No. 06–150, DA 15–1253] 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau Seeks Comment on FirstNet’s 

Incumbent Relocation Proposal 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This document seeks 

comment on the ex parte proposal made 

by the First Responder Network 

Authority (FirstNet) to facilitate the 

relocation of incumbent public safety 

communications systems operating in 

the 758–769/788–799 MHz spectrum 

band (Band 14) in advance of the 

deployment and operation of FirstNet’s 

nationwide broadband public safety 

network (NPSBN). 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

December 9, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: See the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brian Marenco, Policy and Licensing 

Division, Public Safety and Homeland 

Security Bureau, (202) 418–0838. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s 

document, DA 15–1253, released on 

November 5, 2015. The document is 

available for download at http://

fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/. The 

complete text of this document also 

available for inspection and copying 

during normal business hours in the 

FCC Reference Information Center, 

Portals II, 445 12th Street SW., Room 

CY–A257, Washington, DC 20554. To 

request materials in accessible formats 

for people with disabilities (Braille, 

large print, electronic files, audio

or call the Consumer and Governmental 

Affairs Bureau at (202) 418–0530 

(voice), (202) 418–0432 (tty). 

1. On October 20, 2015, FirstNet filed 

an ex parte letter stating that its Board 

recently approved a Spectrum 

Relocation Grant Program designed to 

facilitate the relocation of Band 14 

incumbents, and that it expects a 

Federal Funding Opportunity for the 

grant program to be released in early 

2016. FirstNet further requests ‘‘that the 

continuation of Commission licenses or 

other authorizations under Band 14 by 

any incumbent be conditioned upon the 

requirement that no operation on Band 

14 be permitted without the express 

consent of FirstNet after July 31, 2017.’’ 

FirstNet also requests that ‘‘[i]n addition 

or in the alternative, . . . the 

Commission consider conditioning any 

continued operation on Band 14 on the 

cessation of all operations on Band 14 

within 90 days written notice to the 

Band 14 incumbent(s) from FirstNet that 

deployment of the NPSBN is to begin in 

its State.’’ 

2. In its 2013 Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in these dockets, the 

Commission sought comment ‘‘on the 

appropriate mechanism to transition 

incumbent narrowband operators out of 

[Band 14] and on the timeframe by 

which such a transition should be 

accomplished,’’ 78 FR 24138, April 24, 

2013. Specifically, the Commission 

asked whether it could require FirstNet 

to manage this transition process, or to 

provide funds for the process, and 

whether the Commission should 

establish a hard deadline by which 

relocation should be accomplished. 

While the Commission has already 

received comments on these issues, it 

believes that seeking expedited 

comment on FirstNet’s more specific 

request will help ensure a complete and 

comprehensive record, and is consistent 

with FirstNet’s expectation of release of 

a Federal Funding Opportunity for its 

related grant program in early 2016. 

Accordingly, the Commission seeks 

comment on FirstNet’s request in light 

of the 2013 Notice and the associated 

record. 

3. Interested parties may file 

comments until fourteen days after the 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. All pleadings are to 

reference PS Docket 12–94, PS Docket 

06–229 and WT Docket No. 06–150. 

This proceeding is a ‘‘permit-butdisclose’’ proceeding in accordance 

with the Commission’s ex parte rules.
