sulfur (inorganic polysulfides) included 

in this notice. 

Although the lime-sulfur (inorganic 

polysulfides) RED was signed on 

September 30, 2005, certain components 

of the document, which did not affect 

the final regulatory decision, were 

undergoing final editing at that time. 

These components, including the 

summary of labeling changes, 

appendices, and other relevant 

information, have been added to the 

lime-sulfur (inorganic polysulfides) RED 

document. In addition, subsequent to 

signature, EPA identified some minor 

errors and ambiguities in the document. 

Therefore, for the sake of accuracy, the 

Agency also has included the 

appropriate error corrections, 

amendments, and clarifications. None of 

these additions or changes alter the 

conclusions documented in the 

September 30, 2005, lime-sulfur 

(inorganic polysulfides) RED. All of 

these changes are described in detail in 

an errata memorandum which is 

included in the public docket for limesulfur (inorganic polysulfides). EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. 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 issues, and degree of public concern 

associated with each pesticide. EPA can 

expeditiously reach decisions for 

pesticides like lime-sulfur (inorganic 

polysulfides), which pose few or no risk 

concerns, affect few stakeholders, and 

require no risk mitigation. Once EPA 

assesses uses and risks for such low risk 

pesticides, the Agency may go directly 

to a decision and prepare a document 

summarizing its findings, such as the 

lime-sulfur (inorganic polysulfides) 

RED. 

The reregistration program is being 

conducted under Congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public in 

finding ways to effectively mitigate 

pesticide risks. lime-sulfur (inorganic 

polysulfides), however, poses no risks 

that require mitigation. The Agency 

therefore is issuing the lime-sulfur 

(inorganic polysulfides) RED, its risk 

assessments, and related support 

materials simultaneously for public 

comment. The comment period is 

intended to provide an opportunity for 

public input and a mechanism for 

initiating any necessary amendments to 

the RED. All comments should be 

submitted using the methods in 

ADDRESSES, and must be received by 

EPA on or before the closing date. These 

comments will become part of the 

Agency Docket for lime-sulfur 

(inorganic polysulfides). Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

EPA will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a Response to 

Comments Memorandum in the Docket 

and regulations.gov. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the lime-sulfur 

(inorganic polysulfides) RED will be 

implemented as it is now presented. 

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 end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’ 

Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.

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

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 

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. Georgia 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of metaflumizone 

on Brassica leafy vegetables to control 

the diamondback moth. Information in 

accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was 

submitted as part of this request. 

As part of this request, the Applicant 

asserts that the available alternative 

controls are no longer providing 

adequate control, and states that 

resistance to some of them may be 

developing. The Applicant claims that 

another control chemical is needed to 

use in rotation with registered materials, 

to maintain season long control of the 

diamondback moth in these crops, and 

that without adequate control, 

significant economic losses will be 

suffered. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than 4 applications of 

metaflumizone, at a rate of 0.25 lb. 

active ingredient per acre (no more than 

1.0 lbs. a.i. total), on up to 31,000 acres 

of Brassica leafy vegetables (including 

but not limited to cabbage, collard 

greens, mustard greens, kale) and turnip 

greens, in Georgia, for use year round, 

resulting in use of up to a total of 31,000 

lbs. a.i. total. 

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.

requested by the Georgia Department of 

Agriculture.

Needs and Uses: The Americans with 

Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Public 

Law 101–336, 104 Statute 327, 366–69, 

was enacted on July 26, 1990. The 

purpose of the ADA is to provide a clear 

and comprehensive national mandate to 

end discrimination against individuals 

with disabilities and to bring persons 

with disabilities into the economic and 

social mainstream of American life; to 

provide enforceable standards 

addressing discrimination against 

individuals with disabilities; and to 

ensure that the Federal government play 

a central role in enforcing these 

standards on the behalf of individuals 

with disabilities. Title IV of the ADA 

adds § 225 to the Communications Act 

of 1934. Section 225 of the 

Communications Act, requires the 

Commission to promulgate regulations 

that require all domestic telephone 

common carriers to provide 

telecommunications relay services 

(TRS). 47 CFR part 64, subpart F of the 

Commission’s rules, implements certain 

provisions of the ADA. It contains the 

operational, technical, and functional 

standards required of all TRS providers 

and the procedures for state 

certification. Although § 225 of the 

Communications Act imposes on all 

common carriers providing interstate or 

intrastate telephone services an 

obligation to provide to hearing and 

speech-impaired individuals 

telecommunications services that enable 

them to communicate with hearing 

individuals, and charges the 

Commission with regulatory oversight, 

states may seek to establish intrastate 

relay services that satisfy Federal 

requirements. 

Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.602 

Commission’s rules, any violation of 

subpart F by any common carrier 

engaged in intrastate communications 

will be subject to the same remedies, 

penalties, and procedures as are 

applicable in interstate 

communications.
