proposed 18 month compliance
extension; and (4) Within 150 days of
the date the comment period on the
proposed amendments closes, EPA will
sign a notice of final rulemaking.
Petitioners have agreed to dismiss
their petitions for review if EPA takes
final action amending the MON in a
manner substantially the same as the
amendments set forth in Attachment A
and not substantially inconsistent with
the language in Attachment B.
For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will receive written
comments relating to the proposed
settlement agreement from persons who
were not named as parties or interveners
to the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed
settlement agreement if the comments
disclose facts or considerations that
indicate that such consent is
inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or
inconsistent with the requirements of
the Act. Unless EPA or the Department
of Justice determine, based on any
comment which may be submitted, that
consent to the settlement agreement
should be withdrawn, the terms of the
agreement will be affirmed.
II. Additional Information About
Commenting on the Proposed
Settlement
A. How Can I Get a Copy of the
Settlement?
EPA has established an official public
docket for this action under Docket ID

public docket is available for public
viewing at the Office of Environmental
Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA

1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket

An electronic version of the public
docket is available through EPA’s
electronic public docket and comment

It is important to note that EPA’s
policy is that public comments, whether
submitted electronically or on paper,
will be made available for public
viewing in EPA’s electronic public
docket as EPA receives them and
without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or
other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute
is not included in the official public
docket or in EPA’s electronic public
docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted
material, including copyrighted material
contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA’s electronic public
docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public
docket. Although not all docket
materials may be available
electronically, you may still access any
of the publicly available docket
materials through the EPA Docket
Center.
B. How and To Whom Do I Submit
Comments?
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an e-mail
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. 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.
Your use of EPA’s electronic public
docket to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, e-mail address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an e-mail comment
directly to the Docket without going
through EPA’s electronic public docket,
your e-mail address is automatically
captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the official
public docket, and made available in
EPA’s electronic public docket.

Endothall Reregistration Eligibility
Decision; Notice of Availability
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of EPA’s Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide endothall. The Agency’s risk
assessments and other related
documents also are available in the
endothall Docket. Endothall is used as
an aquatic herbicide to control
submerged aquatic vegetation and algae
in lakes, ponds, and irrigation canals
and is used as a desiccant on cotton,
hops, potatoes, and seed production for
alfalfa and clover. Endothall is also used
as a biocide to control mollusks in
cooling towers/systems. Endothall is
applied as either a dipotassium salt or
an N, N-dimethylalkylamine salt. The
endothall acid is not directly applied to
use sites; it is formed as a break-down
product resulting from application of
the salt forms. The amine salt is the only
form applied terrestrially, while both
the dipotassium and amine salt are
applied to aquatic use sites. EPA has
reviewed endothall through the public
participation process that the Agency
uses to involve the public in developing
pesticide reregistration and tolerance
reassessment decisions. Through these
programs, EPA is ensuring that all
pesticides meet current health and
safety standards.
