Metamitron; Receipt of Applications 

for Emergency Exemptions, 

Solicitation of Public Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has received specific 

exemption requests from the Colorado, 

Idaho, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming 

Departments of Agriculture to use the 

pesticide metamitron (CAS No. 41394– 

05–2) to treat up to 116,902 acres of 

sugar beets (22,468 in CO; 14,400 in ID; 

47,025 in NE; 1,629 in OR; and 31,380 

in WY), to control the invasive weed, 

Palmer amaranth. The applicants 

propose the use of a new chemical 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

EPA is soliciting public comment before 

making the decision whether or not to 

grant the exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

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 https://

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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets#tips. 

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 

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. The Colorado, 

Idaho, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming 

Departments of Agriculture have 

requested the EPA Administrator to 

issue specific exemptions for the use of 

metamitron on sugar beets to control 

Palmer amaranth. Information in 

accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was 

submitted as part of the requests. 

As part of this request, the applicants 

assert that emergency conditions exist 

due to insufficient means to control 

Palmer amaranth in sugar beets, and the 

use of metamitron will help avert 

significant economic losses. 

The Applicants propose to make up to 

two applications of 64 fluid ounces of 

the unregistered product, Goltix 700 SC 

(containing 58.3% metamitron, 

equivalent to 5.84 lbs. of metamitron per 

gallon of product) on up to a total of 

116,902 acres of sugar beets (22,468 in 

CO; 14,400 in ID; 47,025 in NE; 1,629 

in OR; and 31,380 in WY), from April 

1 to May 31, 2025. If a maximum of two 

applications are made to the maximum

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices 85201 

requested acreage, a potential of 116,902 

gallons of product (equivalent to 

682,708 pounds of metamitron) could be 

used. 

This notice does not constitute 

decisions by EPA on the applications 

themselves. The regulations governing 

FIFRA section 18 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. 

This notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the applications. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific 

exemptions requested by the Colorado, 

Idaho, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming 

Departments of Agriculture.
