pesticides, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
comments.html.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under section 5 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can
allow manufacturers to field test
pesticides under development.
Manufacturers are required to obtain an
EUP before testing new pesticides or
new uses of pesticides if they conduct
experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of
water.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the
Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of
regional and national significance, and

Jkt 238001
therefore is seeking public comment on
the EUP application:
Submitter: Southern Gardens Citrus,
1820 County Rd. 833, Clewiston, FL
33440, (88232–EUP–E).
Pesticide Chemical: Citrus tristeza
virus that has been modified to contain
combinations of the defensin genes
(SoD2, SoD7, and SoD8) derived from
spinach.
Summary of Request: Southern
Gardens Citrus is requesting an
experimental use permit (EUP) for
Citrus tristeza virus that has been
modified to contain combinations of the
defensin genes (SoD2, SoD7, and SoD8)
derived from spinach (Spinacia oleracea
L.). Modified Citrus tristeza virus will be
applied to citrus trees in order to confer
resistance to citrus greening disease.
The proposed program is for 400 acres
in Florida to generate agronomic,
efficacy, and regulatory data and
information.
Contact: BPPD.
Following the review of the
application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation,
EPA will decide whether to issue or
deny the EUP request, and if issued, the
conditions under which it is to be
conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will
be announced in the Federal Register.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
