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 particular
interest to the Center for Biological
Diversity (CBD), CropLife America,
Responsible Industry for a Sound
Environment, Reckitt Benckiser, other
public interest groups, state regulatory
partners, other interested federal
agencies, and other pesticide registrants
and pesticide users. Since other entities
may also 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
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 is making available for comment
a proposed Stipulated Injunction that
would establish a series of deadlines for
the Agency to make ‘‘effects
determinations’’ and initiate
consultation, as appropriate, with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in
connection with 74 pesticides and 11
species listed under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) as either endangered
or threatened. The species, found in the
greater San Francisco Bay area, are:
Alameda whipsnake, bay checkerspot
butterfly, California clapper rail,
California freshwater shrimp, California
tiger salamander, delta smelt, salt marsh
harvest mouse, San Francisco garter
snake, San Joaquin kit fox, tidewater
goby, and valley elderberry longhorn
beetle. EPA will evaluate all comments
received during the public comment
period to determine whether all or part
of the proposed Stipulated Injunction
warrants reconsideration or revision.
This proposed Stipulated Injunction,
available in the public docket, if entered
by the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California,
would resolve a lawsuit brought against
EPA by CBD.
III. Background
On May 30, 2007, CBD filed a lawsuit
in the Federal District Court for the
Northern District of California alleging
that EPA failed to comply with 16
U.S.C. 1531–1544 in regard to 47
pesticides and 11 species that are listed
as endangered or threatened under the
ESA (Center for Biological Diversity v.
EPA, No. C 07-02794 JCS (N.D. Cal.)).
Ultimately, 74 pesticides came to be at
issue in this case. EPA has reached an
agreement with CBD that would
establish a schedule for EPA to come
into compliance with section 7(a)(2) of
the ESA for these 74 pesticides and 11
species, and would include interim
injunctive relief intended to reduce the
potential exposure of the 11 species to
these pesticides during the period of
time in which EPA will be satisfying its
section 7(a)(2) consultation obligations.
The agreement is embodied in the
proposed Stipulated Injunction that is
being made available for review and
comment through this notice.

The 74 pesticide active ingredients
named in the lawsuit are: 2,4-D,
acephate, acrolein, alachlor, aldicarb,
aluminum phosphide, atrazine,
azinphos-methyl, bensulide, betacyfluthrin, bifenthrin, brodifacoum,
bromadiolone, bromethalin, carbaryl,
carbofuran, chlorophacinone,
chlorothalonil, cholecalciferol,
chlorpyrifos, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin
(lambda), cypermethrin, deltamethrin,
diazinon, difethialone, dimethoate,
diphacinone, diquat dibromide,
disulfoton, endosulfan, EPTC (eptam),
esfenvalerate, ethoprop, fenpropathrin,
fipronil, fluvalinate, imidacloprid,
magnesium phosphide, malathion,
maneb, mancozeb, metam sodium,
methamidophos, methidathion,
methomyl, methoprene, methyl
bromide, metolachlor, naled, oryzalin,
oxydemeton-methyl, oxyfluorfen, PCNB,
pendimethalin, permethrin, phenothrin,
phomet, phorate, potassium nitrate,
propargite, resmethrin, s-metolachlor,
simazine, sodium cyanide, sodium
nitrate, strychnine, tetramethrin,
thiobencarb, tralomethrin, trifulralin,
warfarin, zeta-cypermethrin, and zinc
phosphide. EPA has already made effect
determinations for 6 of these pesticides
relative to a subset of the 11 species:
2,4-D, alachlor, atrazine, endosulfan,
permethrin, and phorate. For the
remaining pesticides, EPA will make
effect determinations for each of these
pesticides and some subset of the 11
species at issue on a rolling basis,
starting with a first batch of effect
determinations due October 20, 2009,
and ending with a last batch of effect
determinations due no later than June
30, 2014.
In addition, and as already mentioned
above, the Stipulated Injunction would
(with some exceptions) enjoin, vacate
and set aside EPA’s authorization of use
of the pesticides in and adjacent to
certain habitat features associated with
each of the 11 species in specific
geographic areas within 8 California
counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin,
Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano,
and Sonoma). This interim injunctive
relief would terminate automatically for
a pesticide upon the completion of
EPA’s consultation obligation under
section 7(a)(2) of the ESA (including a
‘‘no effect’’ determination) for the
particular pesticide. The Stipulated
Injunction would also require EPA to
develop and distribute a brochure
regarding the Stipulated Injunction and
the 11 species, provide certain
information to certified pesticide
applicators in California, and provide
certain information to the public
through the EPA web site.

Beginning July 1, 2009, EPA is
opening a 15–day comment period on
the proposed Stipulated Injunction. EPA
will review any comments received to
determine whether all or part of the
proposed Stipulated Injunction warrants
reconsideration or revision. If EPA
determines that any part of the proposed
Stipulated Injunction merits
reconsideration or revision, EPA will
contact CBD concerning this matter and
the proposed Stipulated Injunction will
not be submitted to the Court until EPA
and CBD reach agreement on any such
changes. If EPA determines that the
proposed Stipulated Injunction does not
need to be reconsidered or revised, the
proposed Stipulated Injunction will be
submitted to the Court and shall become
effective upon entry of an Order by the
Court ratifying the Stipulated
Injunction. Once the Stipulated
Injunction is ratified by Order of the
Court, EPA will post on its web site at
http:www.epa.gov/pesticides a notice
indicating the Stipulated Injunction has
been so entered.
