Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 103 / Wednesday, May 29, 2019 / Notices
EPA must provide a 30-day public
comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C))
requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for
voluntary cancellation or termination of
any minor agricultural use before
granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of
the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines
that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment.
The registrants have requested that
EPA waive the 180-day comment
period.
Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30day comment period on the proposed
requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation should
submit the withdrawal in writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products
have been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products that are
currently in the United States and that
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the action. If the requests for voluntary
cancellation are granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to
these requests for cancellation of
product registrations, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
For voluntary product cancellations,
registrants will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of voluntarily
canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which
will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
canceled products until supplies are

Compliance Assurance can utilize the
named subcontractors to provide
compliance assistance and enforcement
services without providing
individualized notice to CBI owners.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 3, 2019. Subcontractors’
access to information collected under
the CAA Titles I and II, and the APPS,
will begin on June 4, 2019.

III. Description of Programs and
Potential Disclosure of Information
Claimed as CBI to Contractors
EPA’s OECA has responsibility for
protecting public health and the
environment by regulating air pollution
from motor vehicles, engines, and the
fuels used to operate them, and by
encouraging travel choices that
minimize emissions. In order to
implement various Clean Air Act
programs, and to give regulated entities
flexibility in meeting regulatory
requirements (e.g., compliance on
average), OECA collects compliance
reports and other information from the
regulated industry. Occasionally, the
information submitted to, or obtained
by, EPA, is claimed to be CBI by persons
submitting data to EPA. Information
submitted under such a claim is
handled in accordance with EPA’s
regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B,
and in accordance with EPA procedures
that are consistent with those
regulations. When EPA has determined
that disclosure of information claimed
as CBI to EPA contractors or
subcontractors is necessary, the
corresponding contract must address the
appropriate use and handling of the
information by the EPA contractor and
subcontractor and the EPA contractor
and subcontractor must require its
personnel who require access to
information claimed as CBI to sign
written non-disclosure agreements
before they are granted access to data.
On March 12, 2019, EPA provided
notice in the Federal Register of, and an
opportunity to comment on, EPA’s
determination that its contractor Eastern
Research Group, Incorporated, (ERG)
14555 Avion Parkway, Suite 200,
Chantilly, VA 20151, required access to
CBI submitted to EPA under Section 114
of the CAA, Section 208 of the CAA,
and the APPS for the work ERG would
be conducting under Contract Number
68HERH19C0004. See Access by United

Clean Air Act (CAA), Title I, Programs
and Activities Air, and Title II Emission
Standards for Moving Sources, and Act
To Prevent Pollution From Ships
(APPS), 84 FR 8859 (March 12, 2019). In
accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), EPA
has now determined that the
subcontractors listed below also require
access to CBI submitted to EPA under
Section 114 of the CAA, Section 208 of
the CAA, and the APPS, and we are
providing notice and an opportunity to
comment on EPA subcontractors’ access
to information claimed as CBI. OECA
collects this data in order to monitor
compliance with regulations
promulgated under the CAA Title II
Emission Standards for Moving Sources,
the APPS, and the International
Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), Annex
VI. We are issuing this Federal Register
notice to inform all affected submitters
of information that we plan to grant
access to material that may be claimed
as CBI to the subcontractors identified
below on a need-to-know basis.
Under Contract Number
68HERH19C0004, ERG provides
enforcement support for EPA’s CAA
mobile source regulatory and
enforcement activities, including field
inspections, investigations, audits, and
other CAA regulatory and enforcement
support that involve access to
information claimed as CBI. ERG also
employs subcontractors, who support
these activities, under the above-listed
contract. These subcontractors include:
Sunblock Systems, Inc.; PG
Environmental, LLC; BDO USA, LLP;
Dr. James J. Carroll; Dr. Yiqun Huang;
Dr. Maureen Kaplan; and Capital
Reporting Company. Access to data,
including information claimed as CBI,
will commence six days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, and will continue until March
1, 2024. If the contract and associated
subcontracts are extended, this access
will continue for the remainder of the
ERG contract without further notice. If
the contract expires prior to March 1,
2024, the access will cease at that time.
If ERG employs additional
subcontractors to support EPA on a
regular basis or on a limited or one-time
basis under the above-listed contract,
and those subcontractors require access
to CBI, EPA will notify affected
companies of the contemplated
disclosure and provide them with an
opportunity to comment by either
sending them a letter or by publishing
an additional notice in the Federal
Register.
