Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, any Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response has requested the Administrator to issue a public health exemption for the use of the pesticide product Sabrechlor 25 (which contains the active ingredient sodium chlorite) on various items present in the ‘‘Boca Building,’’ which is located at 5401 Broken Sound Boulevard, Boca Raton, FL 33487–3512 to inactivate potential contamination with Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. The West Palm Beach County Department of Health closed (quarantined) the Boca Building on October 7, 2001, after two employees were admitted to the hospital with symptoms of anthrax exposure. As part of this request, the Applicant asserted that approximately 2,500 boxes containing items (e.g., papers, pictures, negatives, and other items) potentially contaminated with anthrax spores needed to be fumigated so that they no longer pose a human health risk and so that the quarantine imposed on the Boca Building by the West Palm Beach County Department of Health could be lifted and the building can be cleared for normal use. No pesticide product is currently registered for this use. The Remedial Action Plan (RAP) proposed that the 2,500 boxes be treated in a tarpcovered, sealed chamber measuring 16’ x 7.5’ x 100’ that is set up in the garage basement of the Boca Building. Because the chamber will hold only about 180 to 270 boxes per fumigation, a total of 9 to 15 fumigations will be required to VerDate jul<14>2003 18:03 Jun 02, 2005 Jkt 205001 decontaminate the entire lot. The requested decontamination method is the best alternative for these circumstances and will be effective in killing anthrax spores and will not pose unreasonable adverse effects to workers, the surrounding community, and the environment. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a public health exemption proposing the use of sodium chlorite specifically for inactivation of Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores because this is similar to previous requests and a complete application for registration under section 3 has not been received (40 CFR 166.24(a)(6)). No pesticide products are currently registered by EPA for this use. The requested public health exemption was granted in advance of the public notification because EPA concluded that the need for the decontamination procedures was urgent, owing to the ongoing threat posed by the stored material that may have contained spores of the bacteria that causes anthrax. The decontamination work described in this notice commenced on or about the issue date for this public health exemption request (April 4, 2005) and will conclude by or before July 4, 2005, the expiration date for this exemption. This notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the granting of the exemption. The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during the 15–day public comment period regarding the public health exemption requested by EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
