The Science Advisory Board expects

that public statements presented at its

meetings will not be repetitive of

previously submitted oral or written

statements. In general, each individual

or group making an oral presentation

will be limited to a total time of five

minutes. For conference call meetings,

opportunities for oral comment will be

limited to no more than five minutes per

speaker and no more than fifteen

minutes total. Written comments (at

least 35 copies) received in the SAB

Staff Office sufficiently prior to a

meeting date, may be mailed to the

relevant SAB committee or

subcommittee prior to its meeting;

comments received too close to the

meeting date will normally be provided

to the committee at its meeting. Written

comments may be provided to the

relevant committee or subcommittee up

until the time of the meeting.

Individuals requiring special

accommodation at SAB meetings,

including wheelchair access, should

contact the appropriate DFO at least five

business days prior to the meeting so

that appropriate arrangements can be

made.

Notice of Receipt of Requests for

Amendments to Delete Uses in Certain

Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),

as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of

receipt of request for amendment by

registrants to delete uses in certain

pesticide registrations.

DATES: The Agency will approve these

use deletions and the deletions will

become effective on or soon after the

date of publication. Non-food site users

of these products who desire continued

use on sites being deleted should

contact the applicable registrant before

September 4, 1998.

mail: Dennis McNeilly, Office of

Pesticide Programs (7505C),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that

a registrant of a pesticide product may

at any time request that any of its

pesticide registrations be amended to

delete one or more uses. The Act further

provides that, before acting on the

request, EPA must publish a notice of

receipt of any such request in the

Federal Register. Thereafter, the

Administrator may approve such a

request.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

This notice announces receipt by the

Agency of applications from registrants

to delete uses in 10 pesticide

registrations containing the active

ingredient chlorpyrifos, as listed in

Table 1 below. These registrations are

listed by registration number, product

names/active ingredients and the

specific uses deleted. Although the use

of chlorpyrifos products on popcorn and

carrots have been registered sites for

chlorpyrifos products, a tolerance has

not been established for chlorpyrifos

residues on these commodities under

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic

Act (FFDCA). Therefore, under FIFRA

section 2(bb), these uses represent an

unreasonable adverse effect on the

environment, as they could result in

human dietary risk from residues

resulting from use of a pesticide in or

on food inconsistent with the standard

under section 408 of FFDCA. As such,

the Agency is hereby waiving the 180–

day comment period normally given for

the deletion of a minor agricultural use,

in accordance with FIFRA section

6(f)(1)(c). The Agency has determined

that, while these actions require

publication for the purpose of

announcement, a comment period is not

warranted.

The remaining use deletions (nonfood sites) announced in this Notice

will retain a 30–day comment period.

Users of these products who desire

continued use on sites being deleted

should contact the applicable registrant

before September 4, 1998 to discuss

withdrawal of the applications for

amendment. This 30–day period will

also permit interested members of the

public to intercede with registrants prior

to the Agency approval of the deletion.

grade chlorpyrifos pesticide
