Download as PDF srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 17204 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 20, 2013 / Notices on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the current assessment. • Polybutene resins. The registration review docket for polybutene resins (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0649) opened in the Federal Register issue of June 23, 2010 (75 FR 35810) (FRL–8832–3). Polybutene is a sticky polymer registered for use as a bird and small mammal repellent. It is used to prevent house sparrows, pigeons, and starlings from roosting inside and outside of buildings, as well as to prevent beavers from attacking trees and shrubs. There are no food/feed uses and, it is exempt from a tolerance requirement when used as a sticker agent in packaging of insect control products used on food crops. Polybutene is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an indirect food additive and is used as an ingredient in cosmetic products that are applied directly to the skin such as sun block or moisturizer, and that may be incidentally ingested, such as lipstick. EPA has conducted a qualitative assessment for both human health and environmental fate and ecological risks. • Quizalofop. The registration review docket for quizalofop ethyl and quizalofop-p-ethyl (EPA–HQ–OPP– 2007–1089) opened in the Federal Register issue of December 19, 2007 (72 FR 71893) (FRL–8342–9). Quizalofop ethyl is a 50/50 racemic mixture of Rand S-enantiomers; quizalofop-p-ethyl is the purified R-enantiomer which is pesticidally active. Quizalofop-p-ethyl is registered for use to control weeds in food crops (including barley, beans, lentil, peas, sorghum, soybean, and sugar beets), non-food crops grown for seed (including alfalfa, carrots, garlic, onion, radish, and spinach), and noncropland (including rights-of-way and fencerows). Quizalofop-p-ethyl is not registered for residential use. The Agency has conducted a human health assessment for both dietary (food and drinking water) and occupational exposure pathways. The Agency has conducted a quantitative ecological risk assessment, including a listed species assessment, for quizalofop. EPA acknowledges that further refinements to the listed species assessment may be completed in future revisions and requests public comment on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the current assessment. • Soap salts. The registration review docket for soap salts (EPA–HQ–OPP– 2008–0519) opened in the Federal Register issue of September 15, 2008 (73 FR 53244) (FRL–8381–3). The case VerDate Mar<14>2013 18:04 Mar 19, 2013 Jkt 229001 consists of three active ingredients, the ammonium, potassium, and sodium salts of fatty acids, which are registered for use as acaricides, algaecides, herbicides, and insecticides on food and non-food crops in various settings, chiefly residential and agricultural. Ammonium and sodium soap salts are also used as animal repellents. Because the Agency has not identified any toxicological endpoints for human health risk assessment and because current product labels are adequate to protect for potential eye and skin irritation, a qualitative human health risk assessment was conducted for soap salts. The Agency has conducted a quantitative ecological risk assessment, which includes a screening-level listed species assessment. EPA acknowledges that further refinements to the listed species assessment will be completed in future revisions and requests public comment on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the current assessment. 1. Other related information. Additional information on ancymidol, fosthiazate, lactofen, polybutene resins, quizalofop, and soap salts is available on the chemical pages for these pesticides in Chemical Search, https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ chemicalsearch, and in each chemical’s individual docket listed in Table 1. in Unit III.A.
