A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are an agricultural
producer, food manufacturer, or
pesticide manufacturer. The following
list of North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) codes is
not intended to be exhaustive, but rather
provides a guide to help readers
determine whether this document
applies to them. Potentially affected

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

development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
Jkt 238001
Under section 18 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C.
136p, at the discretion of the EPA
Administrator, a federal or state agency
may be exempted from any provision of
FIFRA if the EPA Administrator
determines that emergency conditions
exist which require the exemption. The
Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Oregon,
Washington, and Wisconsin
Departments of Agriculture have
requested the EPA Administrator to
issue specific exemptions for the use of
pyridate on mint (peppermint and
spearmint) to control redroot pigweed
and kochia. Information in accordance
with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as
part of this request. The applicants’
submissions which provide an
explanation of the need for the
exemption as well as the proposed use
pattern can be found at https://
www.regulations.gov in their section 18
emergency exemption application
requests for use of pyridate on mint to
control redroot pigweeds and kochia.
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the applications
themselves. The regulations governing
FIFRA section 18 require publication of
a notice of receipt of an application for
specific exemptions proposing use of a
pesticide that was voluntarily canceled
in 2004, and which is now considered
to be unregistered under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA).
This notice provides an opportunity
for public comment on the six
applications. The Agency, will review
and consider all comments received
during the comment period in
determining whether to issue specific
exemptions requested by the Idaho,
Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, Washington,
and Wisconsin Departments of
Agriculture.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
