Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices
Risk Mitigation Decision are
brodifacoum, bromadiolone,
difethialone, chlorophacinone,
diphacinone, warfarin, zinc phosphide,
bromethalin, and cholecalciferol. EPA is
hereby extending the comment period,
which was set to end on March 19,
2007, to May 18, 2007.
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. Further provisions are
made to allow a public comment period.
However, the Administrator may extend
the comment period, if additional time
for comment is requested. In this case,
several stakeholders have requested
additional time to develop comments
due to the complexity of the issues
raised by the proposed mitigation
decision. In addition, the Rodenticide
Registrants Task Force (RRTF) has
requested additional time to develop
comments using information recently
placed in the docket and provided to the
RRTF.

II. Did EPA Conditionally Approve the
Application?
A conditional registration may be
granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) of
FIFRA for a new active ingredient where
certain data are lacking, on condition
that such data are received by the end
of the conditional registration period
and do not meet or exceed the risk
criteria set forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that
use of the pesticide during the
conditional registration period will not
cause unreasonable adverse effects; and
that use of the pesticide is in the public
interest. The Agency has considered the
available data on the risks associated
with the proposed use of Beauveria
bassiana HF23, and information on
social, economic, and environmental
benefits to be derived from such use.
Specifically, the Agency has considered
the nature and its pattern of use,
application methods and rates, and level
and extent of potential exposure. Based
on these reviews, the Agency was able
to make basic health and safety
determinations which show that use of
Beauveria bassiana HF23 during the
period of conditional registration will
not cause any unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment, and that use
of the pesticide is, in the public interest.
Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of
FIFRA, the Agency has determined that
these conditional registrations are in the
public interest. Use of the pesticides are
of significance to the user community,
and appropriate labeling, use directions,
and other measures have been taken to
ensure that use of the pesticides will not
result in unreasonable adverse effects to
man and the environment.
