provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111).

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 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 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. 

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 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the EPA Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the EPA Administrator determines 

that emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. The Wyoming 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the EPA Administrator to issue a 

specific exemption for the use of 

diflubenzuron on alfalfa to control 

grasshoppers and Mormon crickets. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that projected population levels 

for these damaging insect pests are 

higher than normal for the 2013 season. 

The applicant claims that registered 

alternatives will not provide adequate 

control to avert significant economic 

losses from occurring. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than two applications of 

diflubenzuron, at a rate of 0.032 lbs. 

active ingredient (a.i.) (equivalent to 2 

fl. oz. of product containing 2 lbs. a.i. 

per gallon). Application could be made 

on up to 26,000 acres of alfalfa, from the 

date of approval, if granted, until 

October 31, 2013, in the state of 

Wyoming. If the maximum proposed 

acreage were treated at the maximum 

rate, a total of 814 lbs. active ingredient 

(407 gallons formulated product) could 

be applied. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing FIFRA 

section 18 require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use which 

is supported by the Inter-Regional 

Project Number 4 (IR–4) program and 

has been requested in 5 or more 

previous years, and a petition for 

tolerance has not yet been submitted to 

the Agency. The notice provides an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

application. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Wyoming Department 

of Agriculture.
