A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, farm 

worker, and agricultural advocates; the 

chemical industry; pesticide users; and 

members of the public interested in the 

sale, distribution, or use of pesticides. 

Since others also may be interested, the

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. 

II. Background 

What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA requests public comment during 

the next 60 days on a petition received 

from the NRDC requesting that the 

Agency cancel all pet collar uses for the 

pesticide propoxur. NRDC submitted a 

petition dated November 26, 2007 as a 

public comment to the Revised Nmethyl Carbamate Cumulative Risk 

Assessment docket (available under 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2007– 

0935). NRDC claims that the NMC CRA 

underestimates exposure to propoxur 

from pet collar uses, that there are 

effective alternatives to this use, and 

therefore, EPA should cancel all pet 

collar uses for propoxur. NRDC states 

that exposure levels from pet collars for 

household children may be significantly 

higher than EPA estimates through 

common daily activities and intimate 

contact between children and pets. 

NRDC cites specific revised hand-tomouth exposure parameters and claims 

that these revisions to the NMC CRA 

non-dietary exposure assessment are 

biased towards reducing the exposure 

estimate, making it appear that the pet 

collar uses do not exceed the Agency’s 

level of concern. 

EPA’s 1997 Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision (RED) for Propoxur is available 

on EPA’s pesticide webpage at http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/ 

status.htm. The 2007 NMC CRA, related 

documents, and comments are available 

in the electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov/ and can be found 

under the docket number provided in 

the paragraph above.
