Background: Section 10(a) of the 

National Environmental Education Act 

of 1990 mandates a National 

Environmental Education Foundation. 

The Foundation is established in order 

to extend the contribution of 

environmental education and training to 

meeting critical environmental 

protection needs, both in this country 

and internationally; to facilitate the 

cooperation, coordination, and 

contribution of public and private 

resources to create an environmentally 

advanced educational system; and to 

foster an open and effective partnership 

among Federal, State, and local 

government, business, industry, 

academic institutions, community based 

environmental groups, and international 

organizations. 

The Foundation is a charitable and 

nonprofit corporation whose income is 

exempt from tax, and donations to 

which are tax deductible to the same 

extent as those organizations listed 

pursuant to section 501(c) of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The 

Foundation is not an agency or 

establishment of the United States. The 

purposes of the Foundation are— 

(A) Subject to the limitation contained 

in the final sentence of subsection (d) 

herein, to encourage, accept, leverage, 

and administer private gifts for the 

benefit of, or in connection with, the 

environmental education and training 

activities and services of the United 

States Environmental Protection 

Agency; 

(B) to conduct such other 

environmental education activities as 

will further the development of an 

environmentally conscious and 

responsible public, a well-trained and 

environmentally literate workforce, and 

an environmentally advanced 

educational system; 

(C) to participate with foreign entities 

and individuals in the conduct and 

coordination of activities that will 

further opportunities for environmental 

education and training to address 

environmental issues and problems 

involving the United States and Canada 

or Mexico. 

The Foundation develops, supports, 

and/or operates programs and projects 

to educate and train educational and 

environmental professionals, and to 

assist them in the development and 

delivery of environmental education 

and training programs and studies. 

The Foundation has a governing 

Board of Directors (hereafter referred to 

in this section as ‘the Board’), which 

consists of 13 directors, each of whom 

shall be knowledgeable or experienced 

in the environment, education and/or 

training. The Board oversees the 

activities of the Foundation and assures 

that the activities of the Foundation are 

consistent with the environmental and 

education goals and policies of the 

Environmental Protection Agency and 

with the intents and purposes of the 

Act. The membership of the Board, to 

the extent practicable, represents 

diverse points of view relating to 

environmental education and training. 

Members of the Board are appointed by 

the Administrator of the Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

Within 90 days of the date of the 

enactment of the National 

Environmental Education Act, and as 

appropriate thereafter, the 

Administrator will publish in the 

Federal Register an announcement of 

appointments of Directors of the Board. 

Such appointments become final and 

effective 90 days after publication in the 

Federal Register. The directors are 

appointed for terms of 4 years. The 

Administrator shall appoint an 

individual to serve as a director in the 

event of a vacancy on the Board within 

60 days of said vacancy in the manner 

in which the original appointment was 

made. No individual may serve more 

than 2 consecutive terms as a director.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the EPA Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the EPA Administrator determines 

that emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. Texas 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the EPA Administrator to issue a 

specific exemption for the use of 

propazine on cotton to control 

glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that propazine is needed to 

control glyphosate-resistant Palmer 

amaranth due to the lack of suitable 

alternatives and effective control 

practices; and significant economic 

losses will occur if this pest is not 

controlled. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than one application of Milo-Pro 

herbicide on up to 3,000,000 acres of 

cotton in Texas during the 2014 growing 

season. As currently proposed, the 

maximum amount of product to be 

applied would be 70,314 gallons. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing FIFRA 

section 18 require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing the use of 

a pesticide that contains the active 

ingredient propazine, which belongs to 

the triazine class of pesticides. 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 Texas Department of 

Agriculture.
