Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) RED; Extension of Comment Period, 57506-57507 [E6-16062]

Download as PDF 57506 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 189 / Friday, September 29, 2006 / Notices jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register issued on August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45546) (FRL–8083–1). In that document, EPA announced the availability of EPA’s Tolerance Reassessment and Risk Management Decision (TRED) for Methyl Bromide, and Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Methyl Bromide’s Commodity Uses, and opened a public comment period on the document. EPA is hereby extending the comment period, which was set to end on October 10, 2006 for an additional 45 days. The reason for this extension is so the public can comment on the buffer zone look-up table document that the Agency has placed in the docket. This document contains buffer zone look up tables for treatment and aeration periods that were described in the August 9, 2006 decision document and that are based on information already available in the docket. The Agency believes that providing the buffer zone document and extending the comment period will ensure that stakeholders will have a better understanding of the impacts of the decision document and will be able to provide more informed comments for the Agency to consider. In addition to providing the look-up tables in the docket, the Agency has identified two issues that were included in supporting documents but inadvertently omitted or not clearly articulated in the decision document. The first issue was the omission of rates for several uses in ‘‘Table 2, Summary of Labeling Changes for Methyl Bromide Fumigation.’’ An updated version of the table is included in the docket. The second issue was that the decision document states that all buffer zone distances modeled with PERFUM were based on limiting bystander exposure to 1 part per million (ppm) for an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA). Although not stated in the decision document, exposures of durations lasting more than 8 hours were based on limiting exposures to 0.33 ppm for a 24–hour TWA. The reason for having two different exposure limits is to match the most appropriate toxicity endpoint to the expected duration of exposure. III. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other ‘‘appropriate regulatory action.’’ Section 408(q) of the VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:43 Sep 28, 2006 Jkt 208001 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.
