Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 29, 2009 / Notices 19559 

2002 endosulfan Reregistration 

Eligibility Decision (RED), are available 

in the electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under docket 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2002–0262. 

Although the NRDC and PANNA 

petitions requested both cancellation of 

uses and revocation of tolerances, this 

notice is seeking public comment only 

on the requests to cancel all uses of 

endosulfan under section 6 of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 

136d(b)). EPA issued a separate Federal 

Register notice on August 20, 2008 (73 

FR 49194) soliciting public comment on 

the NRDC and PANNA petitions’ 

requests to revoke all tolerances under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended 

by the Food Quality Protection Act 

(FQPA) and codified at 40 CFR 180.182. 

The Agency notes that findings from 

its October 2008 Scientific Advisory 

Panel (SAP) meeting on Persistent 

Bioaccumulative Toxicants (PBTs), 

which were published on January 29, 

2009, may be useful for the public in 

commenting on these petitions seeking 

cancellation of all uses under FIFRA. 

Key components of the meeting include 

review of methods for assessing 

environmental persistence, 

bioaccumulation, long-range transport, 

toxicity, and the role of sediment 

dynamics on estimating aquatic 

exposure concentrations for pesticides 

with varying persistent, 

bioaccumulative and toxic 

characteristics. Meeting minutes from 

the PBT SAP (73 FR 42796, July 23, 

2008), are available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/meetings/ 

2008/october/minutes.pdf and are also 

in the electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under docket 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–0550. 

Later in April 2009 the Agency will 

publish a separate Notice in the Federal 

Register to solicit comments on its 

recently completed impact assessments 

on endosulfan, as well as any additional 

information stakeholders may have on 

the importance of endosulfan use in 

agriculture (EPA–HQ–OPP–2002– 

0262)(FRL–8411–1). The impact 

assessments evaluate the impacts on 

growers that could result from various 

risk management options, such as 

cancellation of uses and longer 

Restricted Entry Intervals (REIs). All 

stakeholders are encouraged to 

comment on these assessments, submit 

additional information for the Agency to 

consider, and provide data with which 

the Agency can better define the likely 

impacts. Please see docket number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2002–0262 to access 

documents and submit comments 

related to the impact assessments and 

the importance of endosulfan use. 

The Agency asks that comments on 

the NRDC and PANNA petitions’ 

requests to cancel all uses of endosulfan 

be submitted to docket number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2008–0615 within 60 days.
