registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on these cases, including 

the active ingredients for each case, may 

be located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s website at 

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

3. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’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

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes have been provided to 

assist you and others in determining 

whether this action might apply to 

certain entities. If you have any 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the 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 

www.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 

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? 

Under section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the Administrator determines that 

emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. Michigan 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of kasugamycin 

on apples to control fire blight. 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
16104 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 31, 2010 / Notices 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that kasugamycin is needed to 

control streptomycin-resistant strains of 

Erwinia amylovora, the causal pathogen 

of fire blight, due to the lack of available 

alternatives and effective control 

practices. Without the use of 

kasugamycin the applicant states that 

up to 50% of the yield of susceptible 

apple varieties could be lost in 2010. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2L on 10,000 acres of apples 

between April 20, 2010 and May 31, 

2010 in Berrien, Cass, Ionia, Kent, 

Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, 

and Van Buren counties in Michigan. As 

currently proposed, the maximum 

amount of product to be applied would 

be 15,000 gallons. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing section 

18 of FIFRA require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

The notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Michigan Department 

of Agriculture.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this 

notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for bromine, case 4015. Bromine is a 

bromide releasing antimicrobial 

pesticide that is registered as a 

mildewstat/mildewcide, bactericide, 

fungistate, fungicide, virucide, and 

insecticide. Bromine is registered for 

use to control bacteria and fungi on 

surfaces of agricultural, commercial, 

institutional, industrial, residential, and 

public access premises and equipment. 

It is also registered for use to treat/ 

disinfect potable water (examples of 

potable water system treatment sites 

include, but are not restricted to, aboard 

ships and on oil and gas drilling/ 

production platforms). 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered bromine in light of the 

FIFRA standard for registration. The 

Final Decision document in the docket 

describes the Agency’s rationale for 

issuing a registration review final 

decision for this pesticide. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision document, the 

registration review docket for bromine 

also includes other relevant documents 

related to the registration review of this 

case. The combined final work plan and 

proposed registration review decision 

was posted to the docket and the public 

was invited to submit any comments or 

new information. During the 60–day 

comment period, no public comments 

were received. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the 

registration review case docket for 

bromine will remain open until all 

actions required in the final decision 

have been completed. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. Links to earlier 

documents related to the registration 

review of this pesticide are provided at: 

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

registration_review/bromine/index.htm 

. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 

155, subpart C, provide authority for 

this action.
