Approval of Test Marketing Exemption for a Certain New Chemical, 5325-5326 [E6-1340]

Fairfax Water estimates that they would incur a $2 $4 million capital outlay for chemical feed facilities and $500,000 - $850,000 per year for chemicals and system maintenance. The Applicant proposes to make 1 to 4 applications of a 12% liquid potassium stock solution mixed from muriate of potash. Two-hundred million gallons of water in the quarry will be treated with 128,000 kilograms of active ingredient (131,000 kg of dry muriate of potash). This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a quarantine exemption proposing ‘‘use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by the EPA.’’ As noted above, the Agency is eliminating the comment period due to the urgent nature of emergency situation and the very narrow and extremely limited use being requested. Nonetheless, interested parties may still contact the Agency with comments about this notice and treatment program. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.
