capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 947.34 hours per year in the

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 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

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). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through https://

www.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 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

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 

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 EPA Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the EPA Administrator determines 

that emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. The Colorado 

and Nebraska Departments of 

Agriculture have requested the EPA 

Administrator to issue specific 

exemptions for the use of metamitron on 

sugar beets to control Palmer amaranth. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of the 

requests. 

As part of this request, the applicants 

assert that emergency conditions exist 

due to insufficient means to control 

Palmer amaranth in sugar beets, and the 

use of metamitron will help avert 

significant economic losses. 

The Applicants propose to apply a 

total of 64 fluid ounces per acre of the 

unregistered product, Goltix 700 SC 

(containing 58.3% metamitron, 

equivalent to 5.84 lbs. of metamitron per 

gallon of product) on up to 22,468 acres 

of sugar beets in Colorado, and 47,128 

acres in Nebraska (total of 69,596 acres) 

from April 1 to May 31, 2024, using a 

potential product maximum of 11,234 

gallons in Colorado and 23,564 gallons 

in Nebraska (total of 34,798 gallons of 

Goltix 700 SC, equivalent to 203,221 lbs. 

of metamitron).
