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

copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the

will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.

suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.

or data that you used.

development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their

factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is making available for comment
an amended registration application
requesting the addition of multiple
