SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Consent Decree
The proposed consent decree would
resolve a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club
seeking to compel the Administrator to
take actions on 2006 PM 2.5
infrastructure SIPs for six states and to
promulgate transport FIPs for an
additional 20 states and the District of
Columbia. The proposed consent decree
(1) agrees that no claim is stated as to
an iSIP claim for Illinois and deems an
iSIP claim as to California moot as EPA
has acted on submittals relating to those
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:07 Feb 10, 2015
Jkt 235001
claims, (2) agrees that no claim is stated
for failure to issue transport FIPs for 10
states which were included in CSAPR as
it is the transport FIP for those states,
and (3) deems transport FIP obligations
for 5 states (Alaska, Montana, North
Dakota, Louisiana, & Utah) moot as EPA
has acted on those transport SIPs.
Under the terms of the proposed
consent decree, by November 30, 2015,
EPA shall take final action to approve or
disapprove a SIP on the remaining iSIP
elements for California, Illinois,
Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Wisconsin. In addition, the proposed
consent decree states that EPA shall take
final action to promulgate a good
neighbor FIP or approve a SIP regarding
the transport obligations for 5 remaining
states and the District of Columbia
which final action must be signed for
Colorado and Wyoming by July 31,
2015, for Oregon by September 30, 2015,
and for the District of Columbia, South
Dakota, and Idaho, by November 30,
2015.
The proposed consent decree requires
EPA to send notice of each action to the
Office of the Federal Register for review
and publication within 15 days of
signature. In addition, the proposed
consent decree outlines the procedure
for the Plaintiff to request costs of
litigation, including attorney fees. When
these obligations have been completed,
the case shall be terminated and
dismissed with prejudice.
For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will accept written
comments relating to the proposed
consent decree from persons who are
not named as parties or intervenors to
the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed
consent decree if the comments disclose
facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless
EPA or the Department of Justice
determines that consent to this consent
decree should be withdrawn, the terms
of the consent decree will be affirmed.

If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public

II. Background on the Receipt of
Requests To Cancel Registrations
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from registrants, Bayer
CropScience and Bayer Environmental
Science, to cancel all diclofop-methyl
product registrations. Diclofop-methyl is
a restricted use herbicide registered for
use on wheat, barley, and golf course
turf to control wild oats and annual
grassy weeds. In a letter dated October
23, 2014, Bayer CropScience and Bayer
Environmental Science requested EPA
to cancel certain pesticide product
registrations identified in Table 1 of
Unit III. Specifically, Bayer requests that
all diclofop-methyl registrations be
cancelled effective January 1, 2018. This
action will terminate the last diclofopmethyl products registered in the
United States.
III. What action is the agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from registrants to cancel all
diclofop-methyl product registrations.
The affected products and the
registrants making the requests are
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
On September 24, 2014, the public
phase of registration review for
diclofop-methyl began with the opening
of the initial docket (EPA–HQ–OPP–
2014–0577) and publication of the
Preliminary Work Plan (PWP) and
supporting science documents. The
comment period for the diclofop-methyl
registration review docket was open for
60 days, from September 24, 2014 to
November 24, 2014. The Agency’s
projected registration review timeline
described in the PWP established that
preliminary risk assessments would be
completed by December 2018, and the
final registration decision would be

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?
You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information
[[Page 7588]]
on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or contact
information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part
of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made
available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
Dated: February 4, 2015.

Acting Associate General Counsel.
