I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including: 

environmental, human health, and 

agricultural advocates; the chemical 

industry, pesticide users, and members 

of the public interested in the sale, 

distribution, or the use of pesticides. 

Since others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the person

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this

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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA seeks public comment on 

petitions from the National Resources 

Defense Council (NRDC) and Pesticide 

Action Network North America 

(PANNA) requesting that EPA revoke all 

tolerances for endosulfan. These 

petitions, available in EPA–HQ–OPP–

2008–0615, were submitted on February 

19, 2008 in response to EPA’s 2007 

human health and ecological effects 

assessment updates for endosulfan 

(Federal Register of November 16, 2007; 

72 FR 64624; FRL–8339–5). The 

updated assessments, as well as the 

2002 endosulfan registration eligibility 

decision, are available in the electronic 

docket at http://www.regulations.gov 

under docket number EPA–HQ–OPP–

2007–0944. 

Although the petitions requested both 

cancellation and revocation of 

tolerances, this notice is seeking public 

comment only on the requests to revoke 

all tolerances for residues of endosulfan 

established under section 408 of the 

Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), as amended by the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and 

codified at 40 CFR 180.182. 

EPA will issue a separate Federal 

Register notice in early 2009 soliciting 

public comment on the NRDC and 

PANNA petitions’ requests to cancel all 

uses of endosulfan under section 6 of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 

136d(b)). The notice will be issued in 

conjunction with a request for public 

comment on findings from an October 

2008 Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) 

meeting on Persistent Bioaccumulative 

Toxicants (PBTs). 

Through this current notice, EPA is 

also soliciting information from the 

public on endosulfan residues in/on 

commodities consumed by Alaska 


dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
49196 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 20, 2008 / Notices 

Natives, as well as additional 

information on endosulfan 

bioaccumulation, persistence, toxicity, 

monitoring and transport, and 

ecological incidents. This information 

will support EPA compliance with 

Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions 

to Address Environmental Justice in 

Minority Populations and Low-Income 

Populations. 

To-date, EPA has received and 

reviewed the following studies to better 

assess dietary risk to Alaska Natives 

from endosulfan residues: 

1. Alaska Department of 

Environmental Conservation Fish 

Monitoring Program: Analysis of 

Organic Contaminants; 

2. EPA Region 10 Columbia River 

Basin Fish Contaminant Survey 1996- 

1998; 

3. EPA Region 10 Survey of Chemical 

Contaminants in Fish, Invertebrates, and 

Plants Collected in the Vicinity of 

Tyonek, Seldovia, Port Graham and 

Nanwalek and Cook Inlet, Alaska; 

4. National Park Service Western 

Airborne Contaminants Assessment 

Project (WACAP) data; and 

5. Kelly, et al. ‘‘Food Web-Specific 

Biomagnification of Persistent Organic 

Pollutants,’’ published July 13, 2007 in 

Science , vol. 317, no. 5835, pp. 236 –

239. 

The studies listed in this unit are 

available in docket ID number EPA–

HQ–OPP–2008–0615. 

EPA asks that comments on the NRDC 

and PANNA petitions’ requests to 

revoke all tolerances for residues of 

endosulfan be submitted within 60 

days. Submission of information on 

endosulfan residues in/on commodities 

consumed by Alaska Natives should 

also be submitted within 60 days.
