What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? As part of the requests, the applicants assert that the rapid spread of large outbreaks of the brown marmorated stinkbug (an invasive species) has resulted in an urgent and non-routine pest control situation that is expected to cause significant economic losses without the requested uses. The Applicants propose to make no more than two applications at a rate of 0.203 to 0.304 lb. (maximum total of 0.608 lb.) of dinotefuran per acre on up to 54,000 acres of pome and stone fruits grown in Pennsylvania and Virginia, from May 15 to October 15, 2021. A total of 32,832 lbs. of dinotefuran could be used (maximum acreage at highest rate). 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 a specific exemption proposing a use which is supported by the IR4 program and has been requested in 5 or more previous years, and a petition for tolerance has not yet been submitted to the Agency. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemptions requested by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, as well as any subsequent specific exemption applications submitted by other state lead agencies. I. General Information 1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through www.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.
