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. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is releasing for public comment 

its human health and environmental 

fate and effects risk assessments, and 

related documents for dichlorprop-p, a 

phenoxy pesticide, and soliciting public 

comment on risk management ideas or 

proposals. Dichlorprop-p is a post 

emergence herbicide frequently coformulated with other phenoxy 

herbicides. Dichlorprop-p is used for the 

management of annual and perennial 

broadleaf weeds and brush control in 

ornamental turf (i.e. golf courses, 

cemeteries, parks, sports fields, turf, 

residential lawns) and woody plant 

control in non-crop areas (i.e. rights-ofway, firebreaks, fence rows, forests, and 

industrial sites). EPA developed the risk 

assessments and risk characterization 

for dichlorprop-p through a modified 

version of its public process for making 

pesticide reregistration eligibility 

decisions. Through these programs, EPA 

is ensuring that pesticides meet current 

standards under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

and the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by 

the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 

(FQPA). 

EPA is providing an opportunity, 

through this notice, for interested 

parties to provide comments and input 

on the Agency’s risk assessments for 

dichlorprop-p. Such comments and 

input could address, for example, the 

availability of additional data to further 

refine the risk assessments, such as 

typical use rate data, or could address 

the Agency’s risk assessment 

methodologies and assumptions as 

applied to this specific pesticide. 

Through this notice, EPA also is 

providing an opportunity for interested 

parties to provide risk management 

proposals or otherwise comment on risk 

management for dichlorprop-p. Risks of 

concern associated with the use of 

dichlorprop-p are potential effects to 

some terrestrial and aquatic organisms. 

In targeting these risks of concern, the 

Agency solicits information on effective 

and practical risk reduction measures. 

EPA seeks to achieve environmental 

justice, the fair treatment and 

meaningful involvement of all people, 

regardless of race, color, national origin, 

or income, 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, unusually high exposure to 

dichlorprop-p, compared to the general 

population. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration. The Agency’s 

Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 

26819)(FRL–7357–9), explains that in 

conducting these programs, the Agency 

is tailoring its public participation 

process to be commensurate with the 

level of risk, extent of use, complexity 

of the issues, and degree of public 

concern associated with each pesticide. 

For dichlorprop-p, a modified, 4-Phase 

process with 1 comment period and 

ample opportunity for public 

consultation seems appropriate in view 

of its few complex issues. However, if 

as a result of comments received during 

this comment period EPA finds that 

additional issues warranting further 

discussion are raised, the Agency may 

lengthen the process and include a 

second comment period, as needed. 

All comments should be submitted 

using the methods in ADDRESSES, and 

must be received by EPA on or before 

the closing date. Comments will become 

part of the Agency Docket for 

dichlorprop-p. Comments received after 

the close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in 

product-specific data on individual enduse products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is requesting emergency 

OMB processing of this information 

collection and has requested OMB 

approval by May 8, 2007. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX.

Information—Media Ownership Study 

1. 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

household. 

Number of Respondents: 3,000 

respondents; 3,000 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.25–

0.3333333 hours (15 to 20 minutes). 

Frequency of Response: One time 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $58,000. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

An assurance of confidentiality is not 

offered because this information 

collection does not require the 

collection of personal identifiable 

information (PII) from individuals. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not 

applicable. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking emergency processing of this 

information collection by May 8, 2007. 

This collection is part of the 

Commission’s on-going review of its 

media ownership rules. This review 

began in June 2006 when the 

Commission opened a new phase of a 

rulemaking proceeding that concerns its 

major broadcast ownership rules. 

In July 2006 the Commission began to 

seek comment on how to address the 

issues raised by the opinion of the U.S. 

Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit 

in Prometheus v. FCC and on whether 

the media ownership rules are 

‘‘necessary in the public interest as the 

result of competition.’’ The Commission 

has six broadcast ownership rules (the 

national television multiple ownership 

rule, the local television multiple 

ownership rule, the radio/television 

cross-ownership rule, the dual network 

rule, the local radio ownership rule, and 

the newspaper/broadcast crossownership rule) that the public was 

invited to comment on. 

The Commission particularly asked 

commenters to address the impact of 

various ownership rules on minorities, 

women, and small businesses. We also 

urged commenters to discuss the 

potential effects, if any, of the broadcast 

ownership rules currently in effect, and 

the effect of any changes on advertising 

markets, the ability of independent 

stations to compete, the availability of 

family-friendly and children’s 

programming, the amount of indecent 

and/or violent content broadcast overthe-air, and the availability of 

independent programming. 

Congress has also indicated a high 

level of interest in the topic of media 

ownership. One evidence of this is an 

August 1, 2006, letter to Chairman 

Martin that was signed by 84 members 

of the House of Representatives. These 

members expressed their view that 

‘‘access to diverse sources of 

information is necessary to maintain the 

informed citizenry that is crucial to a 

functioning democracy.’’ And, they 

encouraged the Commission ‘‘to invite 

the greatest level of public participation 

possible in your deliberation of new 

ownership rules.’’ To do this the 

Commission decided to hold public 

hearings on this topic and conducted 

such hearings in Los Angeles (October 

2006), Nashville (December 2006), 

Harrisburg, PA (February 2007). A 

public hearing will be held in Tampa on 

April 30, 2007, and additional public 

meetings are also planned. 

Finally, to supplement the 

information received from the public 

and Congress, the Commission also 

decided (November 2006) to sponsor ten 

economic studies on media ownership 

rules. This information collection 

relates to the first of these studies—

‘‘How People Get News and 

Information.’’ This study will be 

conducted by Nielsen Media Research 

under contract to the Commission. It 

will be conducted as a phone survey of 

3,000 consumers and will ask questions 

about their use of media. It will identify 

consumers’ primary, secondary, and 

tertiary sources of news and 

information; whether these sources 

change depending on the time of day or 

day of the week; and the frequency with 

which consumers access these sources. 

Understanding whether consumers 

rely most heavily on traditional 

broadcast and print media outlets versus 

newer media sources such as the 

Internet will help the Commission fully 

understand the realities of today’s 

market. This will allow the 

Commission, the Administration, and 

Congress to make decisions on media 

ownership based on current, on-theground realities and not on old
