period.
AGENCY:
EPA issued a notice in the
Federal Register of December 8, 2010
concerning the availability of a petition
submitted by Beyond Pesticides and

Environmental Protection Agency for
review and public comment. The
petition asks EPA to use its authority
under various statutes to regulate
triclosan. In a letter to the EPA dated
January 22, 2011, Beyond Pesticides and
Food & Water Watch requested a 60 day
extension to the comment period. In
response to this request, this document
extends the comment period for 60
days, from February 7, 2011 to April 8,
2011.
DATES: Comments, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–
OPP–2010–0548, must be received on or
before April 8, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document extends the public comment
period established in the Federal

authority under various statutes to
regulate triclosan. Triclosan is an
antimicrobial substance used in
pesticide products, hand sanitizers,
toothpaste, and other consumer
products. The petitioners claim that the
‘‘pervasive and widespread use’’ of
triclosan poses significant risks to
human health and the environment. In
addition, the petitioners claim that the
‘‘agency failed to address the impacts
posed by triclosan’s degradation
products on human health and the
environment, failed to conduct separate
assessments for triclosan residues in
contaminated drinking water and food,
and is complacent in seriously
addressing concerns related to
antibacterial resistance and endocrine
disruption.’’ Under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the
petitioners ask EPA to act to cancel and
suspend the registration of pesticides
containing triclosan. Under the Clean
Water Act (CWA), the petitioners
request that the Administrator impose
technology-based effluent limitations,
health-based toxic pollutant water
quality pretreatment requirements, and
biosolids regulation for triclosan. Under
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA),
the petitioners request that the
Administrator conduct a comprehensive
assessment of the appropriateness of
regulating triclosan under SDWA.
Under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA), the petitioners request that the
Administrator comply fully with ESA,
including consultation and biological
assessment requirements. In a letter
submitted to the Agency dated January
22, 2011, Beyond Pesticides and Food &
Water Watch requested a 60 day
extension to the comment period. EPA
is hereby extending the comment
period, which was set to end on
February 7, 2011, to April 8, 2011.
To submit comments, or access the
docket, please follow the detailed
instructions as provided under
ADDRESSES in the December 8, 2010
Federal Register document. If you have
questions, consult the person listed
