SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 18 of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

(7 U.S.C. 136p), the Administrator may,

at her discretion, exempt a State agency

from any registration provision of

FIFRA if she determines that emergency

conditions exist which require such

exemption.

The Applicant has requested the

Administrator to issue a specific

exemption for the use of the herbicide,

2,4-D, available as Weedar 64 (EPA Reg.

No. 264–2) from Rhone-Poulenc Ag

Company, to control waterplantain

which develops a dense leaf canopy in

wild rice fields and is known to reduce

wild rice yields by more than 90

percent. Information in accordance with

40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part

of this request.

According to the Applicant,

waterplantain is found in nearly all

Minnesota fields which have been

cropped continuously to wild rice. In

the spring waterplantain appears two to

three weeks before wild rice emerges

and severly obstructs wild rice

development. No herbicides are

currently registered for use on wild rice

because of a ruling by EPA that

disallowed chemicals that are registered

for use on ‘‘rice’’ to be used on wild rice

because of differences in taxonomy and

growing practices of the two crops. Nonchemical control by hand-weeding or

mechanical cultivation is not practical

since wild rice fields are flooded with

water.

Under the proposed exemption a

maximum of one application could be

applied, at a rate of 8.0 fl. oz. of product

(0.25 lb active ingredient (a.i.) per acre).

A maximum of 1,375 gal. of product or

5,500 lbs. (a.i.) could be applied in

1994. Applications would be made

between May 1 and July 31, 1995.

This notice does not constitute a

decision by EPA on the application

itself. The regulations governing section

18 require that the Agency publish

notice of receipt in the Federal Register

and solicit public comment on an

application for a specific exemption if

an emergency exemption has been

requested or granted for that use in any

3 previous years, and a complete

application for registration of that use

has not been submitted to the Agency

[40 CFR 166.24 (a)(6)]. Exemptions for

this use of 2,4-D on wild rice in

Minnesota have been requested and

granted for the past 5 years, and an

application for registration of this use

has not been submitted to the Agency.

Accordingly, interested persons may

submit written views on this subject to

the Field Operations Division at the

address above. The Agency will review

and consider all comments received

during the comment period in

determining whether to issue the

emergency exemption requested by the

Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Products, to control broadleaf weeds on

up to 24,383 acres of snap beans. In

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 18 of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

(7 U.S.C. 136p), the Administrator may,

at her discretion, exempt a State agency

from any registration provision of

FIFRA if she determines that emergency

conditions exist which require such

exemption.

The Applicant has requested the

Administrator to issue a specific

exemption for the use of Reflex 2LC.

The Applicant provided information in

accordance with 40 CFR part 166 to the

Agency which supports the position

that an emergency situation would exist

for New York snap bean growers if

Reflex 2LC is not available for use this

growing season.

According to the Applicant,

infestations of broadleaf weeds have

caused significant yield reductions in

dry and snap bean fields in New York

State. Cultural practices and the use of

registered alternative herbicides have

proven ineffective in controlling a

variety of broadleaf weed species. Bean

crop yields have significantly declined

and the incidence of weed

contamination in the final product has

increased steadily since the loss of the

herbicide Premerge (dinoseb) in 1987.

Under the proposed exemption a

maximum of one application could be

applied, at a rate of 1.0 to 1.25 pints of

Reflex 2LC per acre (0.25 to 0.313 lb

active ingredient (a.i.) per acre). A

maximum of 3,816 gallons of product or

7,632 pounds of (a.i.) could be applied
