II. What Action is EPA Taking? 

This document extends the public 

comment period established in the 

Federal Register of July 13, 2005 (70 FR 

40339) (FRL–7721–8). In that document, 

EPA made available the human health 

risk assessment for dazomet. It is used 

as a non-selective, pre-plant soil 

fumigant with fungicidal, herbicidal, 

insecticidal, and nematicidal properties. 

Dazomet is converted to methyl 

isothiocyanate (MITC) in the 

environment, particularly in the 

presence of moisture (such as in soil 

after application). It is MITC that 

performs the fumigating activity. EPA is 

hereby extending the comment period, 

which was set to end on September 12, 

2005, to October 12, 2005. The Agency 

received a request from the registrants 

Certis USA and the Society of American 

Florists and is therefore, granting the 

extension based on the volume and 

complexity of the documents being 

reviewed.
