17204 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 20, 2013 / Notices 

on specific areas that will reduce the 

uncertainties associated with the 

characterization of risk to listed species 

identified in the current assessment. 

• Polybutene resins. The registration 

review docket for polybutene resins 

(EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0649) opened in 

the Federal Register issue of June 23, 

2010 (75 FR 35810) (FRL–8832–3). 

Polybutene is a sticky polymer 

registered for use as a bird and small 

mammal repellent. It is used to prevent 

house sparrows, pigeons, and starlings 

from roosting inside and outside of 

buildings, as well as to prevent beavers 

from attacking trees and shrubs. There 

are no food/feed uses and, it is exempt 

from a tolerance requirement when used 

as a sticker agent in packaging of insect 

control products used on food crops. 

Polybutene is approved by the Food and 

Drug Administration (FDA) as an 

indirect food additive and is used as an 

ingredient in cosmetic products that are 

applied directly to the skin such as sun 

block or moisturizer, and that may be 

incidentally ingested, such as lipstick. 

EPA has conducted a qualitative 

assessment for both human health and 

environmental fate and ecological risks. 

• Quizalofop. The registration review 

docket for quizalofop ethyl and 

quizalofop-p-ethyl (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2007–1089) opened in the Federal 

Register issue of December 19, 2007 (72 

FR 71893) (FRL–8342–9). Quizalofop 

ethyl is a 50/50 racemic mixture of Rand S-enantiomers; quizalofop-p-ethyl 

is the purified R-enantiomer which is 

pesticidally active. Quizalofop-p-ethyl 

is registered for use to control weeds in 

food crops (including barley, beans, 

lentil, peas, sorghum, soybean, and 

sugar beets), non-food crops grown for 

seed (including alfalfa, carrots, garlic, 

onion, radish, and spinach), and noncropland (including rights-of-way and 

fencerows). Quizalofop-p-ethyl is not 

registered for residential use. The 

Agency has conducted a human health 

assessment for both dietary (food and 

drinking water) and occupational 

exposure pathways. The Agency has 

conducted a quantitative ecological risk 

assessment, including a listed species 

assessment, for quizalofop. EPA 

acknowledges that further refinements 

to the listed species assessment may be 

completed in future revisions and 

requests public comment on specific 

areas that will reduce the uncertainties 

associated with the characterization of 

risk to listed species identified in the 

current assessment. 

• Soap salts. The registration review 

docket for soap salts (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2008–0519) opened in the Federal 

Register issue of September 15, 2008 (73 

FR 53244) (FRL–8381–3). The case 

consists of three active ingredients, the 

ammonium, potassium, and sodium 

salts of fatty acids, which are registered 

for use as acaricides, algaecides, 

herbicides, and insecticides on food and 

non-food crops in various settings, 

chiefly residential and agricultural. 

Ammonium and sodium soap salts are 

also used as animal repellents. Because 

the Agency has not identified any 

toxicological endpoints for human 

health risk assessment and because 

current product labels are adequate to 

protect for potential eye and skin 

irritation, a qualitative human health 

risk assessment was conducted for soap 

salts. The Agency has conducted a 

quantitative ecological risk assessment, 

which includes a screening-level listed 

species assessment. EPA acknowledges 

that further refinements to the listed 

species assessment will be completed in 

future revisions and requests public 

comment on specific areas that will 

reduce the uncertainties associated with 

the characterization of risk to listed 

species identified in the current 

assessment. 

1. Other related information. Additional 

information on ancymidol, fosthiazate, 

lactofen, polybutene resins, quizalofop, and 

soap salts is available on the chemical pages 

for these pesticides in Chemical Search, 

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

chemicalsearch, and in each chemical’s 

individual docket listed in Table 1. in Unit 

III.A. Information on the Agency’s 

registration review program and its 

implementing regulation is available at 

http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. 

2. Information submission requirements. 

Anyone may submit data or information in 

response to this document. To be considered 

during a pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must meet the 

following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider data or 

information submitted, interested persons 

must submit the data or information during 

the comment period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted must 

be presented in a legible and useable form. 

For example, an English translation must 

accompany any material that is not in 

English and a written transcript must 

accompany any information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. Written 

material may be submitted in paper or 

electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency to 

reconsider data or information that the 

Agency rejected in a previous review. 

However, submitters must explain why they 

believe the Agency should reconsider the 

data or information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each pesticide 

case will remain publicly accessible through 

the duration of the registration review 

process; that is, until all actions required in 

the final decision on the registration review 

case have been completed.
