SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information A. Does this Action Apply to Me? This action is directed to the public in general. This action may, however, be of interest to those persons who are or may be required to conduct testing of chemical substances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Since other entities may also 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 listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 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. 3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 5 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to obtain EUPs before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or one acre or more of water. Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP applications may be of regional and national significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP applications: Submitter: Washington State University Long Beach Research Unit, (86414–EUP–E and 86414–EUP–R). Pesticide Chemical: Imidacloprid. Summary of Request: Washington State University Long Beach Research Unit is applying for two EUPs for the use of Imidacloprid to investigate the efficacy and non-target effects of the pesticide against burrowing shrimp in oyster and manila clam beds in Willapa Bay and Grays harbor, Washington state. For 86414–EUP–R, the total quantity of product (Nuprid 2F, EPA Reg. No. 228– 484, containing 21.4% liquid imidacloprid) to be used is up to 80 pounds of active ingredient on up to 100 acres. For 86414–EUP–E, the total quantity of product (Mallet 0.5G, EPA Reg. No. 228–501, containing 0.5% granular imidacloprid) to be used is up to 300 pounds of active ingredient on up to 30 acres. A copy of the applications and any information submitted is available for public review in the docket established for these EUP applications as described under ADDRESSES. Following the review of the applications and any comments and data received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to issue or deny the EUP requests, and if issued, the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of EUPs will be announced in the Federal Register. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Experimental use permits. Dated: November 12, 2009.
