Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number). ii. Follow directions.

Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used. v.

Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA requests public comment during the next 60 days on a petition (available in docket number EPA–HQ–OPP–2007– 1005) received from the NRDC and PANNA requesting that the Agency revoke all tolerances (maximum legal residue limits) and cancel all registrations for the pesticide chlorpyrifos. The petitioners, NRDC and PANNA, claim that EPA cannot make a finding that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from dietary residues of chlorpyrifos and, therefore, that the Agency must revoke all tolerances established under section 408 of the FFDCA, as amended by the FQPA. As a part of their petition, NRDC and PANNA claim that the Agency did not consider the full spectrum of potential health effects associated with chlorpyrifos in connection with EPA’s reassessment of the existing chlorpyrifos tolerances, including: 1. Evidence showing the potential for a greater than 10-fold difference in susceptibility to chlorpyrifos across VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:05 Oct 16, 2007 Jkt 214001 human populations and, in particular, evidence of greater susceptibility in early life stages than EPA estimated; 2. The endocrine disrupting effects of the chemical, or 3. Evidence of cancer risk data as indicated from a National Institutes of Health study. The petition further asserts that EPA’s evaluation of chlorpyrifos in the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment (CRA) misrepresented the risks of chlorpyrifos and that EPA failed to incorporate inhalation routes of exposure to chlorpyrifos in conducting its assessment. EPA’s human health assessment of chlorpyrifos and findings on whether the tolerances for chlorpyrifos comply with the safety standard in FFDCA Section 408, as amended by the FQPA, are contained in the Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision document for chlorpyrifos and the organophosphate CRA, which are available on EPA’s pesticide webpage at https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ reregistration/status.htm and https:// www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/ 2006-op/index.htm. Docket materials for this pesticide are available in the electronic docket at https:// www.regulations.gov; risk assessment and related documents for this pesticide have been removed to Special Docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0151.
