II. Background
Arysta LifeScience North America
Corporation is requesting an
Experimental Use Permit (EUP) for
iodomethane, a new active ingredient,
pre-plant field fumigant and proposed
methyl bromide alternative. The
proposed EUP program would be
initiated in August 2006 and finalized
in August 2007. The program proposes
a total of 1000 acres comprised of up to
275 small field trials, ranging from 1 to
20 acres each in Florida, Georgia,
Michigan, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Up to
75,000 pounds of Iodomethane will be
used to treat strawberries, tomatoes,
peppers and field-grown ornamentals.
The planned experimental use program
is intended to provide additional
information on the use of an
iodomethane formulation with several
different application techniques;
provide a large scale trial information,
such as efficacy, marketable yield and
commercial application equipment
adaptability; and evaluate novel
application techniques such as the use
of metallic film tarpaulins.
III. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Following the review of the Arysta
LifeScience North America Corporation
application and any comments and data
received in response to this notice, EPA
will decide whether to issue or deny the
EUP request for this EUP program, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Selection for Community Support
Review
Section 10(g)(1) of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Act (Bank Act) requires the
Finance Board to promulgate
regulations establishing standards of
community investment or service Bank
members must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term advances.
See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(1). The
regulations promulgated by the Finance
Board must take into account factors
such as the Bank member’s performance
under the Community Reinvestment Act
of 1977 (CRA), 12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.,
and record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(2).
Pursuant to section 10(g) of the Bank
Act, the Finance Board has promulgated
a community support requirements
regulation that establishes standards a
Bank member must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term advances,
and review criteria the Finance Board
must apply in evaluating a member’s
community support performance. See
12 CFR part 944. The regulation
includes standards and criteria for the
two statutory factors—CRA performance
and record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. 12 CFR 944.3. Only
members subject to the CRA must meet
the CRA standard. 12 CFR 944.3(b). All
members, including those not subject to
CRA, must meet the first-time
homebuyer standard. 12 CFR 944.3(c).
Under the rule, the Finance Board
selects approximately one-eighth of the
members in each Bank district for
community support review each
calendar quarter. 12 CFR 944.2(a). The
Finance Board will not review an
institution’s community support
performance until it has been a Bank
member for at least one year. Selection
for review is not, nor should it be
construed as, any indication of either
the financial condition or the
community support performance of the
member.
Each Bank member selected for
review must complete a Community
Support Statement and submit it to the
Finance Board by the September 1, 2006
deadline prescribed in this notice. 12
CFR 944.2(b)(1)(ii) and (c). On or before
July 28, 2006, each Bank will notify the
members in its district that have been
selected for the 2006–07 second quarter
community support review cycle that
