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, the National Potato Council as well as McDermott, Will, and Emery LLP, on behalf of the Minor Crop Farmer Alliance (MCFA), have requested additional time to develop comments. MCFA is an alliance of more than 100 national and regional organizations and individuals representing growers, shippers, packers, handlers and processors of various agricultural commodities. The Agency believes that an additional 60 days is warranted. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Fumigants, Pesticides and pests.
