### 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. List of Subjects
