Download as PDF 6516 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2015 / Notices State. Most emergency exemptions are specific exemptions. 2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’ exemptions are emergency exemptions issued for quarantine or public health purposes. These are rarely requested. 3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by a State or Federal agency (and is confirmed by EPA) when there is insufficient time to request and obtain EPA permission for use of a pesticide in an emergency. EPA may deny an emergency exemption: If the State or Federal agency cannot demonstrate that an emergency exists, if the use poses unacceptable risks to the environment, or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that the proposed pesticide use is likely to result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no harm’’ to human health, including exposure of residues of the pesticide to infants and children. If the emergency use of the pesticide on a food or feed commodity would result in pesticide chemical residues, EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no harm standard’’ of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). In this document: EPA identifies the State or Federal agency granted the exemption or denial, the type of exemption, the pesticide authorized and the pests, the crop or use for which authorized, and the duration of the exemption. EPA also gives the Federal Register citation for the time-limited tolerance, if any.

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection III. Emergency Exemptions and Denials A. U.S. States and Territories Oregon Arkansas Department of Agriculture State Plant Board Specific Exemption: EPA authorized the use of fipronil on turnip and rutabaga to control the cabbage maggot; July 7, 2014 to October 15, 2014. EPA authorized the use because available alternatives are not suitable or do not provide adequate control to avoid significant economic losses under the increasing pest populations with resistance development suspected. Since this use has been requested for more than 5 years and an application for registration has not yet been received by EPA, a Notice of Receipt with opportunity for public comment published in the Federal Register, as required by 40 CFR 166.24, on June 4, 2014 (79 FR 32282) (FRL–9910–88) with public comment period closing on June 19, 2014.

Texas Department of Agriculture Denial: On July 18, 2014, EPA denied the use of a pesticide product containing the active ingredient propazine on cotton to control glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. Specific Exemption: EPA authorized the use of bifenthrin on apple, peach, and nectarine to control the brown marmorated stinkbug; July 3, 2014 to October 15, 2014.
