SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. This action may, however, be 

of interest to those persons who are or 

may be required to conduct testing of 

chemical substances under the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Since 

other entities may also be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action

to a particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

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 e-mail. 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 5 of 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. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the 

Agency has determined that the 

following EUP application may be of 

regional and national significance, and 

therefore is seeking public comment on 

the EUP application: 

Submitter: Syngenta Crop Protection, 

LLC, (100–EUP–RRL). 

Pesticide Chemical: Acibenzolar Smethyl. 

Summary of Request: Syngenta 

proposes that an EUP be allowed and 

initiated on May 1, 2012 and extended 

for up to two years ending on September 

1, 2014. The purpose is to allow broader 

acres to be treated in order to better 

evaluate the diseases. Due to the nature 

of the crops, small plots are not feasible 

and crop destruct is very expensive. The 

formulation to be used for the EUP will 

be Actigard 50WG®. Geographic areas: 

10 states, representing diverse 

agronomic zones; permission to conduct 

the EUP is requested within EPA 

Regions 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 11. 

Distribution within each EPA Region 

will be determined based upon state 

regulatory approval, availability of 

suitable testing sites, and availability/ 

participation of non-Syngenta 

personnel, e.g., university cooperators 

or other factors. Use of test product will 

be closely monitored and records will 

accurately document the disposition of 

all testing material. Trial applications 

will be made by licensed applicators. A 

temporary tolerance of 0.05 parts per 

million (ppm) for acibenzolar S-methyl 

is proposed in pome fruit and 0.05 ppm 

in citrus fruit during the experimental 

use period requested from 2012 through 

2014. 

A copy of the application and any 

information submitted is available for 

public review in the docket established 

for this EUP application as described 

under ADDRESSES. 

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.
