Public Water System Supervision 

Program Revisions for the State of 

Nevada 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Nevada has revised its 

approved Public Water System 

Supervision Program under the federal 

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 

U.S.C. 300f et seq., pertaining to 

administrative penalty authority and the 

definition of public water system. 

Nevada first assumed primary 

enforcement authority (‘‘primacy’’) for 

the Public Water System Supervision 

Program (‘‘PWSSP’’) on March 29, 1978. 

EPA has determined that these revisions 

to the State’s PWSSP are no less 

stringent than the corresponding 

Federal regulations and otherwise meet 

applicable SDWA primacy requirements 

for the PWSSP. Therefore, EPA intends 

to approve these revisions to the State 

of Nevada’s approved PWSSP. Today’s 

approval action does not extend to 

public water systems in Indian Country, 

as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151. 

DATES: Any interested party may submit 

written comments on this determination 

and request a public hearing. All 

comments will be considered and, if 

necessary, EPA will issue a response. A 

request for a public hearing must be 

submitted by October 24, 2008, to the 

Regional Administrator at the EPA 

Region 9 address shown below. The 

Regional Administrator may deny 

frivolous or insubstantial requests for a 

hearing. If a substantial request for a 

public hearing is made by October 24, 

2008, EPA Region 9 will hold a public 

hearing. If EPA Region 9 does not 

receive a timely and appropriate request 

for a hearing and the Regional 

Administrator does not elect to hold a 

hearing on his own motion, this 

determination shall become final and 

effective on October 24, 2008. 

Any request for a public hearing shall 

include the following information: 

1. The name, address, and telephone 

number of the individual, organization, 

or other entity requesting a hearing. 

2. A brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in the Regional 

Administrator’s determination and a 

brief statement of the information that 

the requesting person intends to submit 

at such hearing. 

3. The signature of the individual 

making the request, or, if the request is 

made on behalf of an organization or 

other entity, the signature of a 

responsible official of the organization 

or other entity. 

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to 

this determination are available for 

inspection at the following offices 

Monday through Friday between the 

hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.:

Registration Review; Azadirachtin 

Docket Opened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established a 

registration review docket for the 

pesticide listed in the table in Unit III.A. 

With this document, EPA is opening the 

public comment period for this 

registration review. Registration review 

is EPA’s periodic review of pesticide 

registrations to ensure that each 

pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 24, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments

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, 

farmworker, and agricultural advocates; 

the chemical industry; pesticide users; 

and members of the public interested in 

the sale, distribution, or 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

CONTACT. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark 

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. Authority 

EPA is initiating its review of the 

pesticide identified in this document 

pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural 

Regulations for Registration Review at 

40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) 

of FIFRA provides, among other things, 

that the registrations of pesticides are to 

be periodically reviewed. The goal is a 

review of a pesticide’s registration every 

15 years. Under FIFRA section 3(a), a 

pesticide product may be registered or 

remain registered only if it meets the 

statutory standard for registration given 

in FIFRA section 3(c)(5). When used in 

accordance with widespread and 

commonly recognized practice, the 

pesticide product must perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment; that 

is, without any unreasonable risk to 

man or the environment, or a human 

dietary risk from residues that result 

from the use of a pesticide in or on food. 

III. Registration Reviews 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is periodically reviewing pesticide 

registrations to assure that they continue 

to satisfy the FIFRA standard for 

registration—that is, they can still be 

used without unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. The implementing 

regulations establishing the procedures 

for registration review appear at 40 CFR 

part 155. A pesticide’s registration 

review begins when the Agency 

establishes a docket for the pesticide’s 

registration review case and opens the 

docket for public review and comment. 

At present, EPA is opening registration 

review dockets for the cases identified 

in the following table.

B. Docket Content 

1. Review dockets. The registration 

review dockets contain information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. The Agency 

may include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on these cases, including 

the active ingredients for each case, may 

be located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s website at 

http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review/schedule.htm. 

Information on the Agency’s registration 

review program and its implementing 

regulation may be seen at http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. 

3. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

• As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 

registration review process; that is, until 

all actions required in the final decision 

on the registration review case have 

been completed.
