SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to those persons 

who conduct or sponsor research on 

pesticides, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

B. What Should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
60872 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2013 / Notices 

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 5 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can 

allow manufacturers to field test 

pesticides under development. 

Manufacturers are required to obtain an 

EUP before testing new pesticides or 

new uses of pesticides if they conduct 

experimental field tests on 10 acres or 

more of land or one acre or more of 

water. A copy of the applications and 

any information submitted is available 

for public review in the docket 

established for these EUP applications. 

Following the review of the application 

and any comments and data received in 

response to this solicitation, EPA will 

decide whether to issue or deny the EUP 

request, and if issued, the conditions 

under which it is to be conducted. Any 

issuance of an EUP will be announced 

in the Federal Register. 

Therefore, pursuant to 40 CFR 

172.11(a), the Agency has determined 

that the following EUP applications may 

be of regional and national significance, 

and therefore is seeking public comment 

on the following EUP applications: 

1. 524–EUP–RNA. (EPA–HQ–OPP–

Period of treatment is from February 1, 

2014, to December 31, 2016. Treated

blocks at one or more test sites in large, 

fenced areas in Texas. 0.63 lb of 

warfarin in 12,600 lb of formulated bait. 

Bait to be applied on 25 lb to 100 lb 

amounts in dispensers said to allow 

feral hogs to access bait while limiting 

access by nontarget species. Area 

covered by treatments not to exceed 

2,471 acres (10 km3). Baiting period is 

projected to last 3 weeks, with 

dispensers being replenished ‘‘as 

needed.’’ Proposed period of treatment 

is from July 1, 2014, to August 31, 2014.
