**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces EPA’s receipt of an application 88232–EUP–R from Southern Garden Citrus requesting an experimental use permit (EUP) for the SoD2 and SoD7 defensin proteins derived from spinach and inserted into citrus. The Agency has determined that the permit may be of regional and national significance. Therefore, because of the potential significance, EPA is seeking comments on this application.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before March 9, 2015.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general. Although this action may be of particular interest to those persons who conduct or sponsor research on pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. 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 pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What action is the Agency taking?

Under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or one acre or more of
water.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP application may be of regional and national significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP application:

Submitter: Southern Garden Citrus, 1820 Country Rd. 833, Clewiston, FL 33440 (88232–EUP–R).

Pesticide Chemicals: SoD2 and SoD7 defensin proteins derived from spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.) inserted into citrus in order to confer disease resistance.

Summary of Request: Southern Garden Citrus is requesting an experimental use permit (EUP) for the SoD2 and SoD7 defensin proteins derived from spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.) inserted into citrus in order to confer disease resistance. The purpose is to gather and evaluate samples collected in the field that will be used in analytical studies to produce data. Southern Garden Citrus’ proposed experimental program would begin on May 1, 2015, and would go until April 18, 2018; would take place on a total of 200 acres in Florida and Texas; and would use 18.75 Kilogram (kg) (in Florida) and 3.75 kg (in Texas) of active ingredient. The proposed testing will be conducted to generate agronomic, efficacy and regulatory data and information.

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 EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced in the Federal Register
