III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period,
EPA received two comments on the
December 15, 2004 Notice. One
comment requested cancellation of the
use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir
Christmas trees in North Carolina and
coffee trees in Puerto Rico. However, the
comment did not contest any specific
aspect of the Agency’s evaluation of
these uses. A second comment protested
the cancellation of Di-Syston 15G usage
on winter wheat. However, the
December 15, 2004 Notice did not list
winter wheat among the uses for
voluntary termination. The 2002
disulfoton RED stipulated that DiSyston 15G wheat usage would be
phased out by 2005. The Agency will
evaluate this comment and publish the
results in a separate Federal Register
entry. For these reasons, the Agency
does not believe that the comments
submitted during the comment period
merit further review or a denial of the
requests for voluntary cancellation.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested use
terminations of disulfoton registrations
identified in Table 1. Accordingly, the
Agency orders that the disulfoton
product registrations identified in Table
1 of Unit II are hereby canceled and
amended to terminate the affected uses.
Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in
Table 1 in a manner inconsistent with
any of the Provisions for Disposition of

Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its
pesticide registrations be canceled or
amended to terminate one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period,
the Administrator may approve such a
request.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products which are
currently in the United States and
which were packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation action.
The cancellation order issued in this
notice includes the following existing
stocks provisions.
The Agency will allow the continued
sale and/or use of existing stocks of
cancelled products until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is
consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled product.

Sfmt 4703
Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal
Combustion Wastes in Landfills and
Surface Impoundments.’’ This notice
announces the availability of new
information and data concerning the
management of coal combustion wastes
(CCW) in landfills and surface
impoundments and will be used by the
Agency in determining how, if at all,
this additional information should affect
the Agency’s decisions as it continues to
follow-up on its Regulatory
Determination for CCW disposed of in
landfills and surface impoundments.
This NODA was published on August
29, 2007 (72 FR 49714), and the
comment period was scheduled to end
on November 27, 2007. However, a
number of environmental groups have
requested additional time to respond to
the issues raised in the NODA and its
accompanying documents. Therefore,
we are extending the comment period
an additional 60 days, which would
extend the comment period to January
28, 2008.
DATES: The comment period is extended
from the original closing date of
November 27, 2007 to January 28, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
NODA that is the subject of this notice,
and which was published in the Federal
Register on August 29, 2007 (72 FR
49714), announces the availability of
new information and data contained in
three documents that the Agency is
requesting public comments on,
concerning the management of CCW in
landfills and surface impoundments.
The three documents that the Agency is
requesting comments on are: A joint
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and
EPA report entitled, Coal Combustion
Waste Management at Landfills and
Surface Impoundments, 1994–2004; a
draft risk assessment conducted by EPA
on the management of CCW in landfills
and surface impoundments; and EPA’s
damage case assessment. The Agency is
soliciting comments on the extent to
which the damage case information, the
results of the risk assessment, and the
new liner and ground water monitoring
information from the DOE/EPA report
should affect the Agency’s decisions.
EPA is also requesting direct comment
on the draft risk assessment document
to help inform a planned peer review.
In addition, the Agency has included in
the docket to the NODA a rulemaking
petition submitted by a number of
citizens’ groups. Furthermore, the
Agency has included in the docket to
the NODA two approaches regarding the
management of CCW, one prepared by
the electric utility industry and the
other prepared by a number of citizens’
groups. The Agency will consider all the
information provided through the
NODA, the comments and new
information submitted on the NODA, as
well as the results of a subsequent peer
review of the risk assessment, as it
continues to follow-up on its Regulatory
Determination for CCW disposed of in
landfills and surface impoundments.
The comment period for the NODA
was scheduled to end on November 27,
2007. However, a number of
environmental groups (Earthjustice,
Environmental Integrity Project, Clean
Air Task Force, Kentucky Resources
Council, Army for a Clean Environment,
and Delaware Riverkeeper Network)
have requested that EPA extend the
comment period by 75 days, noting that
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

additional time is needed in order to
comment meaningfully on the
information contained in the NODA and
to perform extensive analysis on several
documents, some of which are highly
technical. The commenters also noted
that, due to the length and complexity
of the draft risk assessment (‘‘Human
and Ecological Risk Assessment of Coal
Combustion Wastes’’), it will be
necessary to engage expert review that
will consequently increase the time
necessary to prepare their comments.
EPA believed that the 90-day public
comment period originally established
was reasonable. However, since the
Agency will be considering all the
information provided through the
comments and new information
submitted on the NODA, as well as the
results of a subsequent peer review of
the risk assessment, we believe it is
important that commenters have
adequate time to analyze the data
noticed in the NODA so that they may
provide informed and meaningful
comments to the Agency. Therefore, we
have decided to extend the comment
period by 60 days, thereby extending
the comment period to 150 days. We
believe an additional 60 days is
adequate for commenters to analyze the
data noticed in the NODA and available
in the docket to the NODA. Because the
60-day extension ends on January 26,
2008, which is a Saturday, the comment
period will actually be extended until
the following Monday, January 28, 2008.
