Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s federal advisory committees and
panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory
committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide
independent advice to EPA. Members of
the public can submit comments for a
federal advisory committee to consider
as it develops advice for EPA. They
should send their comments directly to
the Designated Federal Officer for the
relevant advisory committee. Oral
Statements: In general, individuals
requesting an oral presentation at a
public meeting will be limited to five
minutes per speaker. Each person
making an oral statement should
consider providing written comments so
that the points presented orally can be
expanded upon in writing. Interested
individuals should contact Dr. Thomas
Armitage, DFO, in writing (preferably
via e-mail) at the contact information
noted above, by Wednesday, October 20,
2010 to be placed on the list of public
speakers. Written Statements: Written
statements should be supplied to the
DFO via email at the contact
information noted above, by
Wednesday, October 20, 2010 so that
the information may be made available
to the Panel members for their
consideration. Written statements
should be supplied in one of the
following electronic formats: Adobe
Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS
PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBMPC/Windows 98/2000/XP format.

Submitters are requested to provide
versions of signed documents,
submitted with and without signatures,
because the SAB Staff Office does not
publish documents with signatures on
its Web sites.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Thomas
Armitage at (202) 564–2155 or
armitage.thomas@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Dr. Armitage preferably at least
ten days prior to the meeting to give
EPA as much time as possible to process
your request.

certain uses, voluntarily requested by
the registrant and accepted by the
Agency, of the pesticide products listed
in Table 1, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.
This order to terminate uses follows a
June 23, 2010 Federal Register Notice of
Receipt of Request from the Registrant
listed in Table 2 to voluntarily amend
2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3propanediol (tris nitro) product
registrations to terminate or delete one
or more uses. The request would delete
use in or on metalworking fluids; latex

specialty industrial products; livestock
and poultry premises; paints, emulsions
and thickener solutions; use as a
preservative for packaged emulsions,
solutions, or suspensions such as
detergents and polishes containing
water; and use in pulp and paper-mill
process water systems. The request
would not terminate the last 2(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3propanediol (tris nitro) products
registered for use in the United States

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol (Tris Nitro); Order to
Amend Registrations to Terminate Certain Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendment to
terminate certain uses, voluntarily requested by the registrant and
accepted by the Agency, of the pesticide products listed in Table 1,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This order to terminate uses
follows a June 23, 2010 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Request
from the Registrant listed in Table 2 to voluntarily amend 2-
(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol (tris nitro) product
registrations to terminate or delete one or more uses. The request
would delete use in or on metalworking fluids; latex paints; resin/
latex/polymer emulsions; specialty industrial products; livestock and
poultry premises; paints, emulsions and thickener solutions; use as a
preservative for packaged emulsions, solutions, or suspensions such as
detergents and polishes containing water; and use in pulp and paper-
mill process water systems. The request would not terminate the last 2-
(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol (tris nitro) products
registered for use in the United States and would result in retention
of some registered uses for those products. In the June 23, 2010
Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the
amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further
review of these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew the
requests within this period. The Agency did not receive any comments on
the notice. Further, the registrant did not withdraw the requests.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice, an order granting the
requested amendment to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use
of the products subject to this order is permitted only in accordance
with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The order is effective September 22, 2010.

During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the Federal Register notice of June 23, 2010 (75 FR
35807) announcing the Agency's receipt of the request to voluntarily
amend registrations to terminate certain uses of products listed in
Table 1.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
amendment to terminate certain uses of 2-(Hyroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3-
propanediol (Tris Nitro) registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit
II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby amended to terminate the
affected uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the
products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent
with any of the provisions for disposition of existing Stocks set forth
in Unit VI., will be considered a violation of FIFRA.
V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
order to terminate uses, unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the deleted uses identified in Table
1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or
for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of the products in Table 1, whose labels include the
deleted uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
[[Page 57782]]
the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied,
