Wisconsin. The EUP is effective from

EPA received two comments, one that
was anonymous and one from a private
citizen, in response to the notice of
receipt for this EUP. Both comments
generally expressed opposition to
pesticides, biotechnology, corporations,
and/or EPA’s approval of this EUP. EPA
conducted risk and other assessments
on the testing program proposed and the
PIP active ingredients to be tested.
Based upon these scientific assessments,
EPA concluded that the active
ingredients to be tested are not expected
to cause unreasonable adverse effects to
human health or the environment and
that the applicant’s limited testing was
needed to accumulate information for a
Federal, Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration.
Pursuant to its authority under FIFRA
and without further consideration of
these comments, EPA therefore
proceeded forward with issuance of this
EUP.
5. 88232–EUP–1. (EPA–HQ–OPP–
2014–0835). Issuance. Southern Gardens
Citrus, LLC, 1820 County Rd. 833,

the spinach defensin proteins (SoD2 and
SoD7) on 720 acres (600 PIP acres and
120 border acres) of citrus plants to
evaluate the control of citrus greening
disease. The program is authorized only
in the states of Florida and Texas. The
EUP is effective from April 30, 2015, to
April 18, 2018. EPA received two
comments in support of the EUP on the
notice of receipt, and the Agency has no
further response to these comments.

for which disclosure is restricted by
statute. Do not submit information that

captured and included as part of the

you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD–ROM
you submit. If the EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
the EPA may not be able to consider
your comment. Electronic files should
avoid the use of special characters, any
form of encryption, and be free of any
defects or viruses. For additional
information about the EPA’s public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center
homepage at https://www.epa.gov/

Docket: All documents in the docket
are listed in the www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
General Information
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) plans to create a Privacy
Act system of records for the online
registration tool, Eventbrite. Eventbrite
is a free, online registration tool that can
be used to collect basic information for
meetings and other events. Agency users
can customize the registration page to a
certain degree and upload images, such
as a company logo or seal. For official
EPA business, Agency users are
permitted to upload the EPA logo or
seal, and follow the format, U.S. EPA
Meeting/Event Name, for their title. The
information collected by Eventbrite is
used to determine the number of
participants attending an event and may
also be used to print nametags or tent
cards. In order to register for an EPA
meeting or event, it is necessary to
collect basic personal information, such
as name, title, organization, mailing
address, email address, and phone
number. This information will be used
for internal Agency purposes only and
will not be shared with a third party
other than Eventbrite. The information
collected will be used for the specific
event only and will not be used for
marketing or other purposes after the
event has concluded. The individual
attending the meeting will be permitted
to opt out of using the online
registration tool if they prefer not to
share their information in this manner.
On the Eventbrite page, the event
organizer can enter contact information
for a designated point of contact who
can answer questions about the event or
collect registration information over the
phone. This tool may be used by EPA
employees at no cost to the government.
In order to use this tool for official EPA
business, an account must be set up
using an epa.gov email address, for
example, doe.john@epa.gov.
Each Eventbrite registration Web site
has a unique ‘‘URL’’ or Web site address
associated with it. The URL can only be
accessed by individuals who receive it
from the event organizer. There will be
no publicly accessible Web site that will
list invitation-only events and so there
will not be an opportunity for anyone
other than the intended audience to
register for such events. Registration
information will be saved on the
password-protected Eventbrite.com Web
site and only the designated organizer
for a given event will be authorized and
