Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 10, 2009 / Notices of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Integrated iron and steel manufacturing. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18. Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,421. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,627,196: which is comprised of $1,560,196 in Labor costs, $67,000 in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs, and no capital/startup costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the precious ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden to industry.

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, farm worker 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.

How Can I Get Copies of this Document and Other Related Information? 1. Docket. EPA has established a docket for this action under docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– OPP–2006–0986. Publicly available docket materials are available either in the electronic docket at https:// www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket in Rm.

Electronic access. You may access this Federal Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the ‘‘Federal Register’’ listings at https://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr. (FRL–8144–8), EPA issued a RED for the allethrins under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Due to their uses, risk, and other factors, the allethrins were reviewed through the modified 4–Phase public participation process. Subsequent to publication of the RED, the technical registrant (Valent BioSciences Corporation) identified a product (EPA registration number 21165–62) registered for use in commercial animal housing automatic misting systems, a use not addressed in the RED or in the supporting risk assessments. As a result, the Agency updated the allethrins occupational and residential risk assessment to include an evaluation of this product and use pattern, and revised the RED accordingly. All other risk assessments described in the original RED remain the same. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ‘‘the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,’’ before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other ‘‘appropriate regulatory action.’’ List of Subjects Environmental protection, Allethrins, Pesticides and pests.

following EUP application may be of regional and national significance, 
and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP application:
    Submitter: Dow AgroSciences, (62719-EUP-AE).
    Pesticide Chemical: Sulfuryl fluoride.
    Summary of Request: Dow AgroSciences is requesting an EUP for

proposed acreage is 65 acres. The states in which the proposed program 
will be conducted include California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
    A copy of the application and any information submitted is 
available for public review in the docket established for this EUP 
application as described under ADDRESSES.
    Following the review of the application and any comments and data 
received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to 
issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under 
which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced 
in the Federal Register.
