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.

II. What Action is EPA Taking? 

This document announces EPA’s 

decision to extend the public comment 

period for the fumigant pesticide 

chloropicrin established in the Federal 

Register of November 29, 2006. In that 

document, EPA announced the 

availability of the risk assessments for 

chloropicrin. EPA is hereby extending 

the comment period, which was set to 

end on February 23, 2007. 

III. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(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. 

Further provisions are made to allow a 

public comment period. However, the 

Administrator may extend the comment 

period, if additional time for comment 

is requested. In this case, Chloropicrin 

Manufacturers Task Force and the Crop 

Protection Coalition, have requested 

additional time (60 days and 45 days, 

respectively) to develop comments. The 

Agency believes that an additional 30 

days is adequate.
