On February 20, 2007, the Natural Resources Defense Council (‘‘NRDC’’) filed objections to a final rule establishing tolerances for the pesticide boscalid on two crop subgroups in the leafy vegetables crop group. (December 20, 2006 (71 FR 76185; FRL–8107–8)). Pesticide tolerances are established under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (‘‘FFDCA’’). (21 U.S.C. 346a). The new tolerances were for Crop Subgroup 4A, leafy greens except head and leaf lettuce, and Crop Subgroup 4B, leafy petioles. NRDC’s objections assert that it was unlawful for EPA to remove the additional 10X safety factor for the protection of infants and children in assessing the risk of boscalid because the evidence shows that juveniles are more sensitive to boscalid than adults. NRDC claims that if the 10X children’s safety factor is retained, the boscalid tolerances do not meet the safety standard for establishing tolerances under FFDCA section 408. Additionally, NRDC argues that EPA’s action was arbitrary and capricious for failing to provide an adequate explanation for the decision on the children’s safety factor. Because the issues raised by NRDC concern matters of great interest not just to NRDC but to growers, food distributors and processors, and pesticide manufacturers as well as members of the public, EPA believes it decision-making will be enhanced by obtaining the views of all affected parties. For that reason, EPA is publishing this notice of availability of NRDC’s objections and requesting comment on the objections. The objections are available in the docket for the tolerance rule in question, i.e., Docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2005–0145. See the ‘‘ADDRESSES’’ section of this document for information accessing the docket. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Under section 408(g)(2)(A) of the FFDCA, any person may file objections with EPA within 60 days of issuance of PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 a final tolerance regulation. (21 U.S.C. 346a(g)(2)). Such person may also request a public evidentiary hearing on the objections; however, NRDC has not requested such a hearing. Under EPA regulations, EPA must publish an order setting forth its determination on each of NRDC’s objections. (40 CFR 178.37(a)). Such order must contain EPA’s reasons for its determination. (40 CFR 178.37(b)). If based on the objections EPA determines that the tolerance regulation should be modified or revoked, EPA will publish by order any revisions to the regulation. (21 U.S.C. 346a(g)(2)(C); 40 CFR 178.35). List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: March 14, 2007. Donald R.
