Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. USDA/APHIS has requested the Administrator to issue a quarantine exemption for the use of (E,E)-9,11-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate on host plants to control the LBAM. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. As part of this request, the Applicant asserts that requested chemical is VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:16 Jul 05, 2007 Jkt 211001 needed as part of a quarantine program to eradicate the LBAM. The LBAM destroys, stunts, or deforms young seedlings, spoils the appearance of ornamental plants, and injures deciduous fruit-tree crops, citrus, and grapes. LBAM has the potential to cause significant economic losses due to increased production costs and the possible loss of international and domestic markets. The impact on production costs for LBAM hosts may exceed $100 million in the state of California. The Applicant proposes to place the pheromone dispensers in tree crops and field crops. Dispensers are to be applied uniformly throughout the treated acreage to obtain a reduction in mating. Between 200 to 300 dispensers should be used per acre. 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 specific exemption proposing use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by EPA. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. EPA is waiving the public comment period, as allowed in 40 CFR 166.24, due to the short period of time available with which to review this situation and render a timely decision. However, comments may still be submitted and will be evaluated. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: June 22, 2007.
