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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

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 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 Montana 

and North Dakota Departments of 

Agriculture have requested the EPA 

Administrator to issue specific 

exemptions for the use of pyridate on 

chickpea to control kochia, including 

glyphosate-resistant kochia in chickpea. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. The Applicants’ submissions 

which provide an explanation of the 

need for the exemption as well as the 

proposed use pattern can be found at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

following documents ‘‘Montana Section 

18 Exemption Request For Tough®

Herbicide (pyridate) in Chickpea’’ and 

‘‘North Dakota Section 18 Exemption 

Request For Tough® Herbicide 

(pyridate) in Chickpea’’. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the applications 

themselves. The regulations governing 

FIFRA section 18 require publication of 

a notice of receipt of an application for 

specific exemptions proposing use of a 

pesticide that was voluntarily canceled 

in 2004, and which is now considered 

to be unregistered under the FIFRA. 

The 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 specific exemptions 

requested by the Montana and North 

Dakota Departments of Agriculture. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
