III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period
provided, EPA received one comment in
response to the Federal Register notice
of April 18, 2007 (72 FR 19491) (FRL–
8124–4), announcing the Agency’s
receipt of the request for voluntary
cancellation. The comment received
was a request for an extension of the
Special Local Need label to allow the
use of existing stocks of pyridate by
mint growers. However, the Federal
Register notice already specified that
mint growers may use the FIFRA 24(c)
labels to apply existing stocks of the
previously-canceled parent product,
Tough EC (EPA Reg. No. 100–880) to
mint, until such existing stocks are
exhausted. For this reason, the Agency
does not believe that the comment
submitted during the comment period
merits further review or a denial of the
request for voluntary cancellation.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
cancellation to terminate use of the
pyridate FIFRA section 24(c)
registrations identified in Table 1.
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the
pyridate FIFRA 24(c) registrations
identified in Table 1 are hereby
canceled. Any distribution, sale, or use
of existing stocks of the products
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
manner inconsistent with any of the
Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be
considered a violation of FIFRA.
V. What Is the Agency’s Authority for
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 intends to allow persons
other than the registrant to continue to
use the FIFRA section 24(c) labels to
apply existing stocks of the previouslycanceled parent section 3 product,
Tough 5EC (EPA Reg. No. 100–880), to
mint, provided such use is consistent
with the section 24(c) labels, until such
existing stocks are exhausted. The
registrant will not be permitted to sell
or distribute the previously-canceled
parent section 3 product, Tough 5EC
(EPA Reg. No. 100–880), but existing
stocks already in the hands of dealers or
users may be distributed, sold or used
legally until they are exhausted.

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is issuing an updated schedule
for the registration review program, the
Agency’s periodic review of all
registered pesticides mandated by
section 3(g) of FIFRA. This updated
schedule provides the timetable for
opening dockets for the next four years
of the program—FY 2008 to 2011. (See
the Federal Register of October 11, 2006
(71 FR 59786, FRL–8096–8); https://
www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/
October/Day-11/p16483.htm.
The Pesticide Registration
Improvement Act of 2003 was recently
amended and extended. The Act
provides for the continuation of annual
pesticide maintenance fees and
authorizes their use for registration
review. The Act also requires EPA to
complete registration review decisions
by October 1, 2022 for all pesticides
registered as of October 1, 2007. To
ensure meeting this requirement, EPA
will open approximately 70 pesticide
registration review dockets annually
beginning in fiscal year 2009 and
continuing through 2017 so that almost
all currently-registered pesticides have
dockets opened by 2017. Some
biopesticide dockets will be opened in
2018 through 2020. The Agency
anticipates that this scheduling will
provide adequate lead times to complete
registration review decisions for all
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703

65575
currently-registered pesticides by 2022.
For the first several years of the
program, EPA will be developing a
pipeline of pesticides under review so
that it will have the capacity to make
approximately 70 decisions each year.
EPA expects a total of 722 pesticide
cases comprising 1,135 pesticide active
ingredients to undergo registration
review by 2022.
Each pesticide’s place on the schedule
is generally determined by its baseline
date — the date of its last substantive
review — with the oldest cases going
first. The baseline date for a pesticide
that was subject to reregistration is the
date of the Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED). The baseline date for
pesticides that were not subject to
reregistration is the registration date of
the first product containing the active
ingredient. Although the schedule
generally is constructed chronologically,
some registration review cases are
grouped in the schedule for greater
efficiency. For example, pesticides that
are chemically related or use-related
(e.g., organophosphate and carbamate
chemical classes, the coppers group,
and the pyrethroids, pyrethrins, and
syngergists group) generally will be
reviewed during the same time frame.
Background information on the
program is provided at: https://
www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/
registration_review/.
An explanation of the schedule is at:
https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/
registration_review/explanation.htm.
The current schedule is available at:
https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/
registration_review/schedule.htm.
B. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
EPA is announcing this updated
schedule for the registration review
program as provided in 40 CFR
155.42(d) and 155.44 of the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review:
Final Rule (https://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/
EPA-PEST/2006/August/Day-09/
p12904.htm). The Agency may consider
issues raised by the public or registrant
when reviewing a posted schedule, to
schedule a pesticide registration review,
or to modify the schedule of a pesticide
registration review as appropriate. This
schedule will be updated at least once
every year.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section
122(i) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as
amended (‘‘CERCLA’’) 42 U.S.C. 9622(i),
notice is hereby given of a proposed
administrative settlement for recovery of

AGENCY:
At a meeting on November 5, 2007,
pursuant to provisions in the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, the Board of
Directors of the FDIC (Board) set the
2008 designated reserve ratio (DRR) for
the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) at
1.25% of estimated insured deposits.1
The 2008 DRR of 1.25% is unchanged
from the 2007 DRR.2 The Board is
publishing this notice as required by
section 7(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1817(b)(3)(A)(i)).3
The following is the link to the staff
memorandum on which the Board acted
when setting the DIF 2008 DRR:

DiNuzzo, Counsel, Legal Division, (202)

1 Section 7(b)(3)(C) of the FDI Act provides that,
in setting the DRR for any year, the Board must: ‘‘(i)
Take into account the risk of losses to the Deposit
Insurance Fund in such year and future years,
including historic experience and potential and
estimated losses from insured depository
institutions; (ii) take into account economic
conditions generally affecting insured depository
institutions so as to allow the designated reserve
ratio to increase during more favorable economic
conditions and to decrease during less favorable
economic conditions, notwithstanding the
increased risks of loss that may exist during such
less favorable conditions, as determined to be
appropriate by the Board of Directors; (iii) seek to
prevent sharp swings in the assessment rates for
insured depository institutions; and (iv) take into
account such other factors as the Board of Directors
may determine to be appropriate, consistent with
the requirements of this subparagraph.’’ 12 U.S.C.
1817(b)(3)(C).
2 The DRR is indicated in section 327.4(g) of the
FDIC’s regulations. 12 CFR 327.4(g). There is no
need to amend this provision because, as noted, the
DRR for 2008 is the same as the current DRR.
3 The applicable provision of the FDI Act requires
notice-and-comment rulemaking only when the
Board changes the DRR. 12 U.S.C. 1817(b)(3)(A)(ii).
