When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ comments.html. II. What action is the Agency taking? EPA requests public comment during the next 30 days on a pesticide petition (available in docket number EPA–HQ– OPP–2023–0323 at https:// www.regulations.gov). The petitioner requests that EPA revoke all remaining tolerances of the pesticide dicofol currently listed under 40 CFR 180.163. The petition is filed pursuant to section 408 of the FFDCA. The petitioner indicates that while he is aware that multiple pesticides are allowed for use on tea, he wishes to ensure that the tea he consumes is free of dicofol residues. The petitioner provides a timeline of the registration and use of dicofol as a pesticide in the United States. The timeline describes an Agency decision on May 9, 2012 (77 FR 27164) in which all dicofol tolerances were revoked except for tolerances on ‘‘tea, dried’ and ‘tea, plucked leaves.’’ The 2012 decision indicated that the Agency would address the tea tolerances and public comments received on them in a future document to be published in the Federal Register. The Tea Association of the U.S.A., Inc. previously provided public comments that dicofol is used in tea production in countries such as India, China, and Argentina, and requested that EPA not revoke the dicofol tolerances on tea but maintain them for importation purposes. The petitioner comments that the Agency did not address the remaining tea tolerances and public comments, as previously indicated in the 2012 decision. Dicofol is an organochlorine miticide that was registered in the United States to control mites on a variety of noncrop areas and on food crops from 1957 to October 31, 2013. All use of dicofol in the United States has been cancelled, and all dicofol tolerances expired on October 31, 2016, except for tolerances on ‘‘tea, dried’ and ‘tea, plucked leaves.’’ VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:02 Oct 16, 2023 Jkt 262001 Background materials related to the Agency’s registration of dicofol and the phase out of its use are available online in public docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2005– 0220 at https://www.regulations.gov. Information related to the Agency’s dicofol tolerance actions are available online in public docket EPA–HQ–OPP– 2012–0171 at https:// www.regulations.gov. Dated: October 11, 2023.
