BILLING CODE 6560–50–F

[OPP–181015; FRL 5379–1]

Carbofuran, Receipt of Application for

Emergency Exemption; Solicitation of

Public Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has received a specific

exemption request from the Tennessee

Department of Agriculture (hereafter

referred to as the ‘‘Applicant’’) to use

the pesticide flowable Carbofuran

(Furadan 4F Insecticide/Nematicide)

(EPA Reg. No. 279–2876) to treat up to

50,000 acres of cotton to control cotton

aphids.

The Applicant proposes the use of a

chemical which has been the subject of

a Special Review within EPA’s Office of

Pesticide Programs, and the proposed

use could pose a risk similar to the risk

assessed by EPA under the Special

Review of granular carbofuran.

Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR

166.24, EPA is soliciting public

comment before making the decision

whether or not to grant the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 25, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Three copies of written

comments, bearing the identification

notation ‘‘OPP–181015,’’ should be

submitted by mail to: Public Response

and Program Resource Branch, Field

Operations Division (7506C), Office of

Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460. In person, bring

comments to: Rm. 1132, Crystal Mall #2,

1921 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA.

Comments and data may also be

submitted electronically by sending

electronic mail (e-mail) to: oppdocket@epamail.epa.gov. Electronic

comments must be submitted as an

ASCII file avoiding the use of special

characters and any form of encryption.

Comments and data will also be

accepted on disks in WordPerfect in 5.1

file format or ASCII file format. All

comments and data in electronic form

must be identified by the docket number

[OPP–181015]. No Confidential

Business Information (CBI) should be

submitted through e-mail. Electronic

comments on this notice may be filed

online at many Federal Depository

Libraries. Additional information on

electronic submissions can be found

below in this document.

Information submitted in any

comment concerning this notice may be

claimed confidential by marking any

part or all of that information as (CBI).

Information so marked will not be

disclosed except in accordance with

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

A copy of the comment that does not

contain CBI must be provided by the

submitter for inclusion in the public

record. Information not marked

confidential may be disclosed publicly

by EPA without prior notice. All written

comments filed pursuant to this notice

will be available for public inspection in

Rm. 1132, Crystal Mall #2, 1921

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: David Deegan, Registration

Division (7505W), Office of Pesticide

Programs, Environmental Protection

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

DC 20460. Office location and telephone

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 carbofuran on

cotton to control aphids.

Information in accordance with 40

CFR part 166 was submitted as part of

this request. As part of this request, the

Applicant asserts that the state of

Tennessee is likely to experience a nonroutine infestation of aphids during the

1996 cotton growing season. The

applicant further claims that, without a

specific exemption of FIFRA for the use

of flowable carbofuran on cotton to

control cotton aphids, cotton growers in

much of the state will suffer significant

economic losses. The applicant also

details a use program designed to

minimize risks to pesticide handlers

and applicators, non-target organisms

(both Federally-listed endangered

species, and non-listed species), and to

reduce the possibility of drift and

runoff.

The applicant proposes to make no

more than two applications on older

cotton (bloom to finish) at the rate of

0.25 lb. active ingredient [(a.i.)], (8 fluid

oz.) in a minimum of 2 gallons of

finished spray per acre by air, or 10

gallons of finished spray per acre by

ground application. The total maximum

proposed use during the 1996 growing

season (June 1, 1996 until September 30,

1996) in Tennessee would be 0.5 lb. a.i.

(16 fluid oz.) per acre. The applicant

proposes that the maximum acreage

which could be treated under the

requested exemption would be 50,000

acres. If all acres were treated at the

maximum proposed rates, then 25,000

lbs. a.i. (6,250 gallons Furadan 4F

Insecticide/Nematicide) would be used.

This notice does not constitute a

decision by EPA on the application

itself. The regulations governing section

18 require publication of a notice of

receipt of an application for a specific

exemption proposing use of a chemical

(i.e., an active ingredient) which has

been the subject of a Special Review

within EPA’s Office of Pesticide

Programs, and the proposed use could

pose a risk similar to the risk assessed

by EPA under the previous Special

Review. Such notice provides for

opportunity for public comment on the

application.

A record has been established for this

notice under docket number OPP–

181015 (including comments and data

submitted electronically as described

below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of

electronic comments, which does not

include any information claimed as CBI

is available for inspection from 8 a.m. to

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The public

record is located in Room 1132 of the

Public Response and Program Resource

Branch, Field Operations Division

(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA.
