Proposed Removal of Certain Inert Ingredients From Approved 
Chemical Substance List for Pesticide Products; Extension of Comment 
Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of October 22, 
2014, concerning the removal of certain chemical substances from the 
current listing of inert ingredients approved for use in pesticide 
products because the inert ingredients are no longer used in any 
registered pesticide product. This document extends the comment period 
for 60 days, from November 21, 2014, to January 20, 2015. Pesticide 
registrants and other stakeholders potentially impacted by the EPA 
proposal requested an extension on the comment period stating that more 
time was needed to confirm the chemical substances against the 
registrations. EPA grants the extension request to provide stakeholders 
with sufficient time to conduct the necessary record verifications.

DATES: Comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-
HQ-OPP-2014-0558, must be received on or before January 20, 2015.
