Public Water System Supervision
Program Revisions for the State of
Nevada
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the State of Nevada has revised its
approved Public Water System
Supervision Program under the federal
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42
U.S.C. 300f et seq., pertaining to
administrative penalty authority and the
definition of public water system.
Nevada first assumed primary
enforcement authority (‘‘primacy’’) for
the Public Water System Supervision
Program (‘‘PWSSP’’) on March 29, 1978.
EPA has determined that these revisions
to the State’s PWSSP are no less
stringent than the corresponding
Federal regulations and otherwise meet
applicable SDWA primacy requirements
for the PWSSP. Therefore, EPA intends
to approve these revisions to the State
of Nevada’s approved PWSSP. Today’s
approval action does not extend to
public water systems in Indian Country,
as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151.
DATES: Any interested party may submit
written comments on this determination
and request a public hearing. All
comments will be considered and, if
necessary, EPA will issue a response. A
request for a public hearing must be
submitted by October 24, 2008, to the
Regional Administrator at the EPA
Region 9 address shown below. The
Regional Administrator may deny
frivolous or insubstantial requests for a
hearing. If a substantial request for a
public hearing is made by October 24,
2008, EPA Region 9 will hold a public
hearing. If EPA Region 9 does not
receive a timely and appropriate request
for a hearing and the Regional
Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing on his own motion, this
determination shall become final and
effective on October 24, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public
in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health,
farmworker, and agricultural advocates;
the chemical industry; pesticide users;
and members of the public interested in
the sale, distribution, or use of
pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare
My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD-ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD-ROM the specific information that is
claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID

II. Authority
EPA is initiating its review of the
pesticide identified in this document
pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at
40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g)
of FIFRA provides, among other things,
that the registrations of pesticides are to
be periodically reviewed. The goal is a
review of a pesticide’s registration every
15 years. Under FIFRA section 3(a), a
pesticide product may be registered or
remain registered only if it meets the
statutory standard for registration given
in FIFRA section 3(c)(5). When used in
accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to
man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
III. Registration Reviews
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is periodically reviewing pesticide
registrations to assure that they continue
to satisfy the FIFRA standard for
registration—that is, they can still be
used without unreasonable adverse
effects on human health or the
environment. The implementing
regulations establishing the procedures
for registration review appear at 40 CFR
part 155. A pesticide’s registration
review begins when the Agency
establishes a docket for the pesticide’s
registration review case and opens the
docket for public review and comment.
At present, EPA is opening registration
review dockets for the cases identified
in the following table.

data and assessment needs. Additional
documents provide more detailed
information. During this public
comment period, the Agency is asking
that interested persons identify any
additional information they believe the
Agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides.
The Agency identifies in each docket
the areas where public comment is
specifically requested, though comment
in any area is welcome.
2. Other related information. More
information on these cases, including
the active ingredients for each case, may
be located in the registration review

to reconsider data or information that
the Agency rejected in a previous
review. However, submitters must
explain why they believe the Agency
should reconsider the data or
information in the pesticide’s
registration review.
• As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the
registration review docket for each
pesticide case will remain publicly
accessible through the duration of the
registration review process; that is, until
all actions required in the final decision
on the registration review case have
been completed.

Each docket contains a document summarizing what the Agency
currently knows about the pesticide case and a preliminary work plan
for anticipated data and assessment needs. Additional documents provide
more detailed information. During this public comment period, the
Agency is asking that interested persons identify any additional
information they believe the Agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides. The Agency identifies in each
docket the areas where public comment is specifically requested, though
comment in any area is welcome.
2. Other related information. More information on these cases,
including the active ingredients for each case, may be located in the
registration review schedule on the Agency's website at https://
www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/schedule.htm. Information on
the Agency's registration review program and its implementing
regulation may be seen at https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_
review.
3. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or
information in response to this document. To be considered during a
pesticide's registration review, the submitted data or information must
meet the following requirements:
To ensure that EPA will consider data or information
submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information
during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider
data or information submitted at a later date.
The data or information submitted must be presented in a
legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must
accompany any material that is not in English and a written transcript
must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or
videographic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or
electronic form.
Submitters must clearly identify the source of any
submitted data or information.
Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or
information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However,
submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider
the data or information in the pesticide's registration review.
As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review
docket for each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through
the duration of the registration review process; that is, until all
actions required in the final decision on the registration review case
have been completed.
