SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to those persons 

who conduct or sponsor research on 

pesticides, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

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 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(s) 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

Under section 5 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can 

allow manufacturers to field test 

pesticides under development. 

Manufacturers are required to obtain an 

EUP before testing new pesticides or 

new uses of pesticides if they conduct 

experimental field tests on more than 10 

acres of land or more than one surface 

acre of water. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the 

Agency has determined that the 

following EUP application may be of 

regional or national significance, and 

therefore is seeking public comment on 

the EUP application:
