Environmental Protection Agency October 18, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On September 1, 2006, EPA issued a Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments by Registrants to Delete Uses in Certain Pesticide Registrations. Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be amended to delete one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register. The September 1 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete Guar (edible) Gums from EPA Registrations 47870-1, Propylene Oxide, 47870-2, Propylene Oxide Technical, and 47870-3, Propoxide 892. A request to delete Guar (edible) Gums from these three registrations was previously published on May 24, 2006. The terms of the May 24, 2006 Federal Register notice are controlling with respect to these three registrations.

This notice announces receipt of an application 352-EUP-RTN from E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, DuPont Crop Protection requesting an experimental use permit (EUP) for the end use formulations of chloantraniliprole (DuPont Coragen SC and Altacor WG). The Agency has determined that the application may be of regional and national significance. Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency is soliciting comments on this application.
