**Petition Supplement Requesting Cancellation of Propoxur Pet Collar**  **Uses; Notice of Availability**

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice makes available for review and public comment a second petition supplement submitted by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on January 18, 2011. This second supplement supports NRDC’s original petition, dated November 26, 2007, requesting that the Agency cancel all pet collar uses for the pesticide propoxur. The petitioner, NRDC, initially requested these cancellations based on their belief that EPA failed to adequately assess residential exposures to pet
collars. NRDC believes that modifications to the non-dietary oral exposure pathway presented in the Revised N-methyl Carbamate (NMC) Cumulative Risk Assessment (CRA) underestimate exposure to propoxur from pet collar uses. On April 23, 2009, NRDC supplemented their original petition with additional information on the pesticide. In its most recent supplement, dated January 18, 2011, NRDC states that the EPA’s occupational and residential exposure (ORE) risk assessment for propoxur pet collars uses, dated April 7, 2010, as well as the follow-up memorandum refining the ORE risk assessment, dated July 12, 2010, present health risks above EPA’s
level of concern. NRDC believes that the Agency used incorrect exposure assumptions and failed to adequately assess all routes of exposure, leading to
an underestimation of residential risk to children from propoxur pet collars. Finally, under cover letter dated February 4, 2011, NRDC also submitted to EPA 7,577 letters supporting its petition supplement.

. 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 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.

II. Background

What action is the agency taking?

EPA requests public comment during the next 30 days on a second petition supplement received from NRDC, dated January 18, 2011, requesting that the Agency cancel all pet collar uses for the pesticide propoxur. To date, NRDC has
submitted:

1. A petition dated November 26, 2007 as a public comment to the Revised N-methyl Carbamate
Cumulative Risk Assessment docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0935;

2. A petition supplement, dated April 23, 2009, which included an NRDC study report;

3. A mass comment campaign from April 8, 2009 to June 8, 2009 which includes approximately 8,600 letters to EPA requesting the cancellation of tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur in pet products;

4. Comments on the Propoxur Preliminary Work Plan for registration review, dated February 16, 2010;

5. A second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011; and,

6. A mass comment campaign, which includes approximately 7,577 letters supporting its January 18, 2011 petition supplement, submitted under cover letter dated February 2, 2011.

7. All documents are available under EPA docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP– 2009–0207. Again, however, by today’s notice, EPA seeks comment only on NRDC’s second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011.

In its second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011, on which EPA now seeks comment, NRDC states that the April 7, 2010 ORE assessment
indicates risks above EPA’s level of
concern for children’s incidental oral exposure, and that EPA should, therefore, take action to cancel propoxur pet collar uses. NRDC claims that exposure levels from pet collars for household children may be significantly higher than EPA estimates based on common daily activities and contact between children and pets. Furthermore, NRDC claims that the April 7, 2010 ORE risk assessment includes inadequate assumptions in exposure scenarios for children and lacks adequate consideration for dermal exposure and cancer risks.

In 2009, EPA initiated the registration review process of propoxur. The final work plan and related documents are
available on the electronic docket at: EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0806. The 2007 Revised N-methyl Carbamate
Cumulative Risk Assessment (NMCCRA), related documents, and
comments are available in the electronic docket at: EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0935. EPA’s 1997 Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Propoxur is available on EPA’s pesticide Web page at: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ reregistration/status.htm. List of Subjects
