[EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–0548; FRL–8863–6] 

Petition for a Ban on Triclosan; Notice 

of Availability; Extension of Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a notice in the 

Federal Register of December 8, 2010 

concerning the availability of a petition 

submitted by Beyond Pesticides and 

Food & Water Watch to the 

Environmental Protection Agency for 

review and public comment. The 

petition asks EPA to use its authority 

under various statutes to regulate 

triclosan. In a letter to the EPA dated 

January 22, 2011, Beyond Pesticides and 

Food & Water Watch requested a 60 day 

extension to the comment period. In 

response to this request, this document 

extends the comment period for 60 

days, from February 7, 2011 to April 8, 

2011. 

DATES: Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2010–0548, must be received on or 

before April 8, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed 

instructions as provided under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register of December 8, 2010 (75 FR 

764613) (FRL–8852–8). In that 

document, the Agency made available 

for review and public comment a 

petition submitted by Beyond Pesticides 

and Food & Water Watch (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘the petitioners’’) to the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the 

Agency’’), asking EPA to use its 

authority under various statutes to 

regulate triclosan. Triclosan is an 

antimicrobial substance used in 

pesticide products, hand sanitizers, 

toothpaste, and other consumer 

products. The petitioners claim that the 

‘‘pervasive and widespread use’’ of 

triclosan poses significant risks to 

human health and the environment. In 

addition, the petitioners claim that the 

‘‘agency failed to address the impacts 

posed by triclosan’s degradation 

products on human health and the 

environment, failed to conduct separate 

assessments for triclosan residues in 

contaminated drinking water and food, 

and is complacent in seriously 

addressing concerns related to 

antibacterial resistance and endocrine 

disruption.’’ Under the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the 

petitioners ask EPA to act to cancel and 

suspend the registration of pesticides 

containing triclosan. Under the Clean 

Water Act (CWA), the petitioners 

request that the Administrator impose 

technology-based effluent limitations, 

health-based toxic pollutant water 

quality pretreatment requirements, and 

biosolids regulation for triclosan. Under 

the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 

the petitioners request that the 

Administrator conduct a comprehensive 

assessment of the appropriateness of 

regulating triclosan under SDWA. 

Under the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA), the petitioners request that the 

Administrator comply fully with ESA, 

including consultation and biological 

assessment requirements. In a letter 

submitted to the Agency dated January 

22, 2011, Beyond Pesticides and Food & 

Water Watch requested a 60 day 

extension to the comment period. EPA 

is hereby extending the comment 

period, which was set to end on 

February 7, 2011, to April 8, 2011. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions as provided under 

ADDRESSES in the December 8, 2010 

Federal Register document. If you have 

questions, consult the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
