U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, et al. (Case No. 1:23–cv–1633) (D.D.C.). The information is contained in documents that have been submitted to EPA pursuant to FIFRA and FFDCA by pesticide registrants or other datasubmitters, including information that has been claimed to be, or determined to potentially contain, CBI. In the pending litigation, petitioners seek judicial review of EPA’s decision of January 11, 2022, to extend the timelimited registrations for GF–3335 Enlist One, an herbicide containing the active ingredient 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid choline salt (‘‘2,4-D’’), and Enlist Duo an herbicide containing the active ingredients 2,4-D and glyphosate dimethylammonium salt (‘‘glyphosate’’), as well as EPA’s decision of March 29, 2022, to allow use of those herbicides in additional counties. The documents are being produced as part of the Administrative Record of the decisions at issue and include documents that registrants or other datasubmitters may have submitted to EPA regarding the Enlist One and Enlist Duo pesticide products, and that may be subject to various release restrictions under federal law. The information includes documents submitted with pesticide registration applications and may include CBI as well as scientific studies subject to the disclosure restrictions of section 10(g) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136h(d). All documents that may be subject to release restrictions under federal law are designated as ‘‘Protected Information’’ in the certified list of record materials and are designated as ‘‘Protected Information’’ under a Protective Order that the Court entered on December 19, 2023. The Protective Order precludes public disclosure of any such documents by the parties in this action who have received the information from EPA, unless a party successfully obtains a de-designation as Protected Information of any portion of the Administrative Record via the procedure described in paragraph 6 of the Protective Order and limits the use of such documents to litigation purposes only. Further, paragraph 6(h) of the Protective Order states: ‘‘At any time, the court may de-designate any portion of the administrative record without advanced notice to the parties.’’ If filed with the Court, such documents would be filed under seal and would not be available for public review, unless the information contained in the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Jan 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 document has been determined to not be subject to section 10(g) of FIFRA and all CBI has been redacted. At the conclusion of the litigation, the Protective Order requires that record material EPA designates as ‘‘Protected Information’’ be destroyed or returned to EPA. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.; 21 U.S.C. 301 et seq. Dated: January 18, 2024. Charles Smith, Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
