Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 4 / Friday, January 6, 2012 / Notices 793 

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 Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the Administrator determines that 

emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. Michigan 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of kasugamycin 

on apples to control fire blight. 

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. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2L on not more than 10,000 

acres of apples between April 1 and 

May 31, 2012 in Berrien, Cass, Grand 

Traverse, Ionia, Kent, Montcalm, 

Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van 

Buren counties. As currently proposed, 

the maximum amount of the product to 

be applied would be 30,000 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.
