FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: Andrea Beard, Registration

Division (7505W), Office of Pesticide

Programs, Environmental Protection

Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington,

D.C. 20460. Office location and

telephone number: Floor 6, Crystal

Station #1, 2800 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 308–

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 Applicants have

requested the Administrator to issue

specific exemptions for the use of

bifenthrin on cucurbits to control the

sweet potato whitefly. Information in

accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was

submitted as part of this request. The

sweet potato whitefly (SPWF) is a

relatively new pest on cucurbits. The

SPWF has caused severe economic

damage to several other commodities

nationwide including cotton, lettuce,

squash, beans, peanuts, and

ornamentals. SPWF causes damage

through feeding activities, and also

indirectly through the production of a

honeydew, which encourages growth of

sooty mold and other fungi. This pest

also causes a physiological disorder

resulting in irregular ripening of fruit,

believed to be caused by transmission of

a geminivirus. The Applicants claim

that adequate control of the SPWF is not

being achieved with the currently

registered compounds. The Applicants

claim that significant economic losses

are expected in California and Texas

cucurbit production if the SPWF is not

adequately controlled, and are therefore

requesting this use of bifenthrin.

The Applicants propose to apply

bifenthrin at a maximum rate of 0.1 lb.

active ingredient (a.i.) (6.4 oz. of

product) per acre with up to three

applications allowed, and a maximum

of 0.3 lb. a.i. per acre per season, on a

total of 200,000 acres of cucurbits in

California, and 36,000 acres of cucurbits

in Texas. It is possible to produce two

cucurbit crops per calendar year on a

given acre, and therefore, the acreage

could potentially receive 6 applications,

(maximum of 0.6 lb. a.i. per acre) per

calendar year. Therefore, use under

these exemptions could potentially

amount to a maximum total of 120,000

lbs. of active ingredient in California

and 21,600 lbs. of active ingredient in

Texas.

This notice does not constitute a

decision by EPA on the applications

themselves. This is the fifth year that

this use has been requested under

section 18. 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

proposing use of a pesticide 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

and/or a petition for tolerance for

residues in or on the commodity has not

been submitted to the Agency [40 CFR

166.24(a)(6)].

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 exemptions requested by the

California Environmental Protection

Agency and the Texas Department of

Agriculture.

Proposed CERCLA Section 122(h)(1)

Administrative Cost Recovery

Settlement for the Carrico Drum Site

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (‘‘U.S. EPA’’).

ACTION: Proposal of CERCLA Section

122(h)(1) Administrative Cost Recovery

Settlement for the Carrico Drum Site.

SUMMARY: U.S. EPA proposes to address

the potential liability of Hoover

Precision Products, Inc., Hoover Group,

Inc., Hoover Universal, Inc., Johnson

Controls, Inc., and Lydall, Inc.

(collectively referred to as ‘‘the Settling

Parties’’) under the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980

(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., as

amended by the Superfund

Amendments and Reauthorization Act

of 1986 (‘‘SARA’’), Pub. L. 99–499, for

past costs incurred in connection with

a federal fund lead removal action

conducted at the Carrico Drum Site

(‘‘the Site’’). The U.S. EPA proposes to

address the potential liability of the

Settling Parties by execution of a

CERCLA Section 122(h)(1)

Administrative Cost Recovery

Settlement (‘‘AOC’’) prepared pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1). The key terms

and conditions of the AOC may be

briefly summarized as follows: (1) The

Settling Parties agree to pay U.S. EPA

$73,333.33 in satisfaction of claims for

past costs incurred at the Site; (2) the

Settling Parties agree to waive all claims

against the United States that arise out

of response activities conducted at the

Site; and (3) U.S. EPA affords the

Settling Parties a covenant not to sue for

past costs incurred during the removal

action upon satisfactory completion of

obligations under the Settlement,

however U.S. EPA is free to pursue any

other necessary and appropriate judicial

and administrative relief against the

Settling Parties. The Site is not on the

NPL, and no further response activities

at the Site are anticipated at this time.

Because the total response costs that

were incurred at the Site are less than

$500,000, approval of the settlement by

the Attorney General is not required.

DATES: Comments on the proposed AOC

must be received by U.S. EPA within
