2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
or section number.
iii. 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. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. 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

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.
