B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
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
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under section 18 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (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 FDACS has
requested the EPA Administrator to
issue a specific exemption for the use of
clothianidin as a soil drench application
on immature (3–5 years old) citrus trees
to control the transmission of HLB
disease vectored by ACP. Information in
accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was
submitted as part of this request.
As part of this request, the applicant
asserts that clothianidin is needed to
suppress the transmission of HLB
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
disease vectored by ACP due to the lack
of available alternative pesticides and
effective control practices. Without the
use of this tool, Florida citrus growers
are expected to experience significant
economic losses due to the severity of
this invasive disease and vector
complex.
The Applicant proposes to make no
more than two applications of
clothianidin at a maximum rate of 0.4
lb. a.i./A (24.0 fl. oz per acre) per 12month period on up to 125,376 acres of
immature (3–5 years old) citrus trees
grown in Florida from January 14 to
October 31, 2022. A total of 50,150 lbs.
of clothianidin could be used on the
maximum acreage of 125,376 at the
highest rate.
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. 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 IR–4 program
and has been requested in 5 or more
previous years; and for which a
complete application for registration of
that use and/or a petition for tolerance
for residues in or on the commodity has
not been submitted to the Agency.
The FDACS submitted in 2011 a
petition for tolerance to EPA that was
subsequently withdrawn, and an
application/petition has not been
resubmitted 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 exemption requested by the
FDACS.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)) provides that a registrant of
a pesticide product may at any time
request that any of its pesticide
registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more uses. FIFRA
further provides that, before acting on
the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the
Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that before acting
on a request for voluntary cancellation,
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
30-day comment period on the proposed
requests.
tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation or use
termination 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:19 Jan 31, 2022
Jkt 256001
cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses 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 and for
amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following
provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in
Tables 1 and 2 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.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses,
registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously
approved labeling for a period of 18
months after the date of Federal
Register publication of the cancellation
order, unless other restrictions have
been imposed. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified
in Table 2 of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for
proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
canceled products and products whose

Request for Nomination of Experts for
the Biofuels and the Environment:
Third Triennial Report to Congress
Peer Review Panel
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; nomination of experts
for peer review panel.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is requesting
nominations for an external expert
panel to peer review EPA’s Biofuels and
the Environment: Third Triennial
Report to Congress (RtC3). The peer
review will be conducted under the
framework of EPA’s Scientific Integrity
Policy (https://www.epa.gov/sites/
default/files/2014-02/documents/
scientific_integrity_policy_2012.pdf)
and follow procedures established in
EPA’s Peer Review Handbook 4th
Edition, 2015 (EPA/100/B–15/001). EPA
invites the public to nominate scientific
experts to be considered as peer
reviewers for this contractor-managed
peer review. Nominations of peer
review candidates will be accepted by
EPA’s contractor, Eastern Research
Group, Inc. (ERG). Relevant expertise
includes economics, engineering,
agronomics, land use change, remote
sensing, air quality, biogeochemistry,
water quality, hydrology, conservation
biology, limnology, and ecology. EPA
has instructed ERG to formulate a single
pool of eighteen (18) candidate external
reviewers to provide independent
external peer review. After
consideration of peer reviewer
nominations submitted to ERG in
response to this Federal Register notice
(FRN) and after consideration of public
comments on the List of Candidates (to
be announced in a future FRN), ERG
will select from this pool the final list
of up to nine (9) peer reviewers in a
manner consistent with EPA’s Peer
Review Handbook 4th Edition, 2015
(EPA/100/B–15/001), ensuring their
combined expertise best spans the above
disciplines.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, 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 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination 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 and amendments to
terminate uses 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 and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 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.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
cancellation order, unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the terminated uses identified in
Table 2 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17
or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include
the terminated uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that such
sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products and terminated uses.
