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.

suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.

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.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
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
location, cultural practices, or other
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?
Under section 5 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C.
136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to
field test pesticides under development.
Manufacturers are required to obtain
EUPs before testing new pesticides or
new uses of pesticides if they conduct
experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of
water.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the
Agency has determined that the
following EUP applications may be of
regional and national significance, and
therefore is seeking public comment on
the EUP applications:
Submitter: Washington State
University Long Beach Research Unit,
(86414–EUP–E and 86414–EUP–R).
Pesticide Chemical: Imidacloprid.
Summary of Request: Washington
State University Long Beach Research
Unit is applying for two EUPs for the
use of Imidacloprid to investigate the
efficacy and non-target effects of the
pesticide against burrowing shrimp in
oyster and manila clam beds in Willapa
Bay and Grays harbor, Washington state.
For 86414–EUP–R, the total quantity of
product (Nuprid 2F, EPA Reg. No. 228–
484, containing 21.4% liquid
imidacloprid) to be used is up to 80
pounds of active ingredient on up to 100
acres. For 86414–EUP–E, the total
quantity of product (Mallet 0.5G, EPA
Reg. No. 228–501, containing 0.5%
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61349
granular imidacloprid) to be used is up
to 300 pounds of active ingredient on up
to 30 acres.
A copy of the applications and any
information submitted is available for
public review in the docket established
for these EUP applications as described
under ADDRESSES.
Following the review of the
applications and any comments and
data received in response to this
solicitation, EPA will decide whether to
issue or deny the EUP requests, and if
issued, the conditions under which it is
to be conducted. Any issuance of EUPs
will be announced in the Federal
Register.
