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 5 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can 

allow manufacturers to field test 

pesticides under development. 

Manufacturers are required to obtain an 

EUP before testing new pesticides or 

new uses of pesticides if they conduct 

experimental field tests on 10 acres or 

more of land or one acre or more of 

water. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the 

Agency has determined that the 

following EUP application may be of 

regional and national significance, and 

therefore is seeking public comment on 

the EUP application.

Type of Chemical: Plant Growth 

Regulator. 

Summary of Request: Crop Uses and 

Timing of Application (only one 

application permitted per crop per 

year): Almond from 80% petal fall to the 

time when nutlet length averages 4–6 

millimeters (mm); cherry at shuck split 

or a later application at straw color to 

color break; fig when average fig is 12– 

15 mm; pear at 15–25 days post-petal 

fall; pistachio at beginning of kernel 

formation when shells start to fill at 

approximately 5–7 weeks after bloom;

public review in the docket established 

for this EUP application. 

Following the review of the 

application and any comments and data 

received in response to this solicitation, 

EPA will decide whether to issue or 

deny the EUP request, and if issued, the 

conditions under which it is to be 

conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will

Today, EPA is proposing to act on the 

state’s application as it applies in those 

Indian territories and is inviting 

comment. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

comments on the approval of Maine’s 

NPDES Permitting Program in these 

territories as part of the administrative

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

2001 Approval of Maine’s Base NPDES 

Permitting Program 

On December 17, 1999, EPA 

determined that the State of Maine had 

submitted a complete application to 

administer the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permitting program in the state under 

the Clean Water Act (CWA). 33 U.S.C. 

1251, et seq., see 64 FR 73552 (Dec. 30, 

1999). Maine’s application included an 

assertion of authority to implement the 

program in the territories of the 

federally-recognized Indian tribes 

within the state, based on the 

jurisdictional provisions of the Maine 

Indian Claims Settlement Act (MICSA), 

which ratified the Maine Implementing 

Act (MIA). 25 U.S.C. 1721, et seq. and 

30 M.R.S.A. § 6201, et seq., respectively. 

On January 12, 2001, EPA approved 

the State of Maine’s application to 

administer the NPDES program for all 

areas of the state other than Indian 

country. At that point EPA did not take 

any action on Maine’s application to 

administer the program within the 

territories of the federally-recognized 

Indian tribes in Maine. EPA published 

notice of its action on February 28, 

2001. 56 FR 12791. As described in the 

Federal Register, EPA approved the 

state’s application to administer both 

the NPDES permit program covering 

point source dischargers and the 

pretreatment program covering 

industrial dischargers into publicly 

owned treatment works (POTWs). EPA 

did not authorize the state to regulate 

cooling water intake structures under 

CWA section 316(b) (33 U.S.C. 1326(b)).

Program in Indian Territories 

On October 31, 2003, EPA approved 

the State of Maine’s application to 

administer the NPDES program in the
