16104 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 31, 2010 / Notices 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that kasugamycin is needed to 

control streptomycin-resistant strains of 

Erwinia amylovora, the causal pathogen 

of fire blight, due to the lack of available 

alternatives and effective control 

practices. Without the use of 

kasugamycin the applicant states that 

up to 50% of the yield of susceptible 

apple varieties could be lost in 2010. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2L on 10,000 acres of apples 

between April 20, 2010 and May 31, 

2010 in Berrien, Cass, Ionia, Kent, 

Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, 

and Van Buren counties in Michigan. As 

currently proposed, the maximum 

amount of product to be applied would 

be 15,000 gallons. 

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. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Michigan Department 

of Agriculture.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

review decision for the pesticide 

Bromine, case 4015. Registration review 

is EPA’s periodic review of pesticide 

registrations to ensure that each 

pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, that the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without causing 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this 

notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for bromine, case 4015. Bromine is a 

bromide releasing antimicrobial 

pesticide that is registered as a 

mildewstat/mildewcide, bactericide, 

fungistate, fungicide, virucide, and 

insecticide. Bromine is registered for 

use to control bacteria and fungi on 

surfaces of agricultural, commercial, 

institutional, industrial, residential, and 

public access premises and equipment. 

It is also registered for use to treat/ 

disinfect potable water (examples of 

potable water system treatment sites 

include, but are not restricted to, aboard 

ships and on oil and gas drilling/ 

production platforms). 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered bromine in light of the 

FIFRA standard for registration. The 

Final Decision document in the docket 

describes the Agency’s rationale for 

issuing a registration review final 

decision for this pesticide. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision document, the 

registration review docket for bromine 

also includes other relevant documents 

related to the registration review of this 

case. The combined final work plan and 

proposed registration review decision 

was posted to the docket and the public 

was invited to submit any comments or 

new information. During the 60–day 

comment period, no public comments 

were received. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the 

registration review case docket for 

bromine will remain open until all 

actions required in the final decision 

have been completed. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. Links to earlier 

documents related to the registration 

review of this pesticide are provided at:

. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 

155, subpart C, provide authority for 

this action.

registrations listed in Table 1 in Unit II. 

pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

terminate the use on carrot, unless the 

Agency received substantive comments 

within the 30–day comment period that 

would merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrant 

withdrew their request within this 

period. The 30–day comment period 

ended on January 4, 2010, at which time 

the Agency did not receive any 

comments on the notice. Further, the 

registrant did not withdraw their 

request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues 

in this notice a cancellation order 

granting the requested use termination. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

products subject to this cancellation 

order is permitted only in accordance 

with the terms of this order, including
