Petition Requesting Cancellation of all 

Tetrachlorvinphos Pet Uses and 

Extension of Comment Period for 

Petition Requesting Cancellation of 

Propoxur Pet Collar Uses; Notice of 

Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On April 24, 2009, the 

Agency received a petition from the 

Natural Resources Defense Council 

(NRDC) to cancel all pet uses for the 

pesticide tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP) and 

a supplement to a previous NRDC 

petition to cancel all pet collar uses for 

the pesticide propoxur. NRDC requested 

these cancellations based on their belief 

that EPA failed to adequately assess 

residential exposures to TCVP and 

propoxur pet collars. NRDC believes 

that EPA used incorrect exposure 

assumptions leading to underestimation 

of residential risk in the TCVP 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision 

(RED), Propoxur RED, and N–methyl 

Carbamate (NMC) Cumulative Risk 

Assessment (CRA). On April 8, 2009, 

the Agency opened a 60–day public 

comment period for the petition to 

cancel propoxur pet collar uses, 

originally scheduled to close June 8, 

2009. This notice extends the comment 

period on the propoxur petition to 

correspond with the timing of the TCVP 

comment period. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 4, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments for 

TCVP, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2009–0308, and for propoxur, 

identified by docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2009–0207, by one of the 

following methods:

on the Internet. If you submit an 

electronic comment, EPA recommends 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD-ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket

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. Background 

The Agency has opened a 60–day 

comment period for an NRDC petition 

requesting the cancellation of all 

tetrachlorvinphos pet uses. The petition 

was filed on April 24, 2009, and NRDC 

claims that the Agency did not include 

the TCVP pet collar use pattern, which 

is the worst case exposure scenario, and 

that the Agency used assumptions 

which underestimated exposures when 

conducting the risk assessment in 

support of the 2002 Tetrachlorvinphos 

RED. 

On April 24, 2009, NRDC also 

submitted a supplement to their 

previous petition to cancel all pet collar 

uses for propoxur, which provided some 

additional information on the pesticide. 

The original NRDC petition, submitted 

November 2007, was recently posted for 

a 60–day public comment period under 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

0207 through a notice of availability 

published in the Federal Register issue 

of April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15980)(FRL– 

8408–4). The public comment period for 

that docket was previously scheduled to 

close on June 8, 2009. However, this 

Federal Register notice will extend the 

public comment period for that docket 

to 60–days from the publication of this 

notice. Note that for propoxur, pet 

collars are currently the only products 

registered for use on pets. There are no 

other types of pet products, such as 

spot-ons, sprays, or shampoos, 

registered for use on pets. Therefore, 

NRDC’s petition to cancel applies only 

to propoxur pet collar uses. 

In both the TCVP and propoxur 

petitions, NRDC claims that residential 

exposures may be significantly higher 

than estimated by EPA through common 

daily activities between children and 

pets. NRDC also cites specific revised 

hand-to-mouth exposure scenarios from 

published studies which they feel 

should have been included in the TCVP 

and propoxur exposure assessments. 

NRDC conducted a study designed to 

estimate exposure to TCVP and 

propoxur from flea collars. A summary 

of the study was submitted in an issue 

paper along with the petition to cancel 

pet uses of TCVP and propoxur. The 

Agency has requested that NRDC 

provide additional information 

regarding the study. The Agency’s letter 

requesting information and NRDC’s 

response will be included in both the 

TCVP and the propoxur dockets.
