Receipt of Application for Emergency Exemption To Use Fomesafen; 
Solicitation of Public Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA has received a specific exemption request from the New 
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (hereafter referred 
to as the ``Applicant'') for use of the pesticide fomesafen (EPA Reg. 
No. 10182-83) to control broadleaf weeds on up to 27,950 acres of dry 
and snap beans in New York. In accordance with 40 CFR 166.24, EPA is 
soliciting public comment before making the decision whether or not to 
grant the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 14, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Three copies of written comments, bearing the identification 
notation ``OPP-180927,'' should be submitted by mail to: Public 
Response and Human Resource Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), 
Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, D.C. 20460. In person, bring comments to: Rm. 
1128, Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. 
Information submitted in any comment concerning this notice may be 
claimed confidential by marking any part or all of that information as 
``Confidential Business Information.'' Information so marked will not 
be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR 
part 2. A copy of the comment that does not contain Confidential 
Business Information must be provided by the submitter for inclusion in 
the public record. Information not marked confidential may be disclosed 
publicly by EPA without prior notice. All written comments filed 
pursuant to this notice will be available for public inspection in Rm. 
1128, Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, 
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Lawrence Fried, Registration 
Division (7505W), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, D.C. 20460. Office 
location and telephone number: 6th Floor, Crystal Station I, 2800 
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202, (703) 308-8328.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 18 of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), 
the Administrator may, at her discretion, exempt a State agency from 
any registration provision of FIFRA if she determines that emergency 
conditions exist which require such exemption.
    The Applicant has requested the Administrator to issue a specific 
exemption for the use of the herbicide, fomesafen, available as Reflex 
2LC (EPA Reg. No. 10182-83) from Zeneca Ag Products, a subsidiary of 
ICI Americas Corp., to control broadleaf weeds that cause serious bean 
crop yield reductions. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 
was submitted as part of this request.
    According to the Applicant, infestations of broadleaf weeds have 
caused serious yield reductions in dry and snap bean fields in New York 
State. Cultural practices and the use of registered alternative 
herbicides have proven ineffective in controlling a variety of 
broadleaf weed species. Bean crop yields have significantly declined 
and the incidence of weed contamination in the final product has 
increased steadily since the loss of the herbicide Premerge (dinoseb) 
in 1987.
    Under the proposed exemption a maximum of one application could be 
applied, at a rate of 1.0 to 1.25 pints of Reflex 2LC per acre (0.25 to 
0.313 lb. active ingredient per acre). A maximum of 4,374 gallons of 
product or 8,748 pounds of active ingredient could be applied in 1994. 
Applications would be made between June 1, 1994 and August 31, 1994.
    This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the 
application itself. The regulations governing section 18 require that 
the Agency publish notice of receipt in the Federal Register and 
solicit public comment on an application for a specific exemption if an 
emergency exemption has been requested or granted for that use in any 3 
previous years, and a complete application for registration of that use 
has not been submitted to the Agency [40 CFR 166.24 (a)(6)]. Exemptions 
for the use of fomesafen on snap and dry beans have been requested and 
granted for the past 3 years, and an application for registration of 
this use has not been submitted to the Agency.
    Accordingly, interested persons may submit written views on this 
subject to the Field Operations Division at the address above. The 
Agency will review and consider all comments received during the 
comment period in determining whether to issue the emergency exemption 
requested by the New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation.

SUBJECT: Suspension of Registration of Pesticide Product(s) 
Containing ________________ for Failure to Comply with the 
3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice for ______________ Dated 
________________.

Dear Sir/Madam:
    This letter gives you notice that the pesticide product 
registration(s) listed in Attachment I will be suspended 30 days from 
your receipt of this letter unless you take steps within that time to 
prevent this Notice from automatically becoming a final and effective 
order of suspension. The Agency's authority for suspending the 
registration(s) of your product(s) is section 3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Upon becoming a 
final and effective order of suspension, any violation of the order 
will be an unlawful act under section 12(a)(2)(J) of FIFRA.
    You are receiving this Notice of Intent to Suspend because you have 
failed to comply with the terms of the 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice. 
The specific basis for issuance of this Notice is stated in the 
Explanatory Appendix (Attachment III) to this Notice. Affected 
product(s) and the requirement(s) which you failed to satisfy are 
listed and described in the following three attachments:
    Attachment I Suspension Report - Product List
    Attachment II Suspension Report - Requirement List
    Attachment III Suspension Report - Explanatory Appendix
    The suspension of the registration of each product listed in 
Attachment I will become final unless at least one of the following 
actions is completed.
    1. You may avoid suspension under this Notice if you or another 
person adversely affected by this Notice properly request a hearing 
within 30 days of your receipt of this Notice. If you request a 
hearing, it will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 
section 6(d) of FIFRA and the Agency's procedural regulations in 40 CFR 
part 164.
    Section 3(c)(2)(B), however, provides that the only allowable 
issues which may be addressed at the hearing are whether you have 
failed to take the actions which are the bases of this Notice and 
whether the Agency's decision regarding the disposition of existing 
stocks is consistent with FIFRA. Therefore, no substantive allegation 
or legal argument concerning other issues, including but not limited to 
the Agency's original decision to require the submission of data or 
other information, the need for or utility of any of the required data 
or other information or deadlines imposed, and the risks and benefits 
associated with continued registration of the affected product, may be 
considered in the proceeding. The Administrative Law Judge shall by 
order dismiss any objections which have no bearing on the allowable 
issues which may be considered in the proceeding.
    Section 3(c)(2)(B)(iv) of FIFRA provides that any hearing must be 
held and a determination issued within 75 days after receipt of a 
hearing request. This 75-day period may not be extended unless all 
parties in the proceeding stipulate to such an extension. If a hearing 
is properly requested, the Agency will issue a final order at the 
conclusion of the hearing governing the suspension of your product(s).
    A request for a hearing pursuant to this Notice must (1) include 
specific objections which pertain to the allowable issues which may be 
heard at the hearing, (2) identify the registration(s) for which a 
hearing is requested, and (3) set forth all necessary supporting facts 
pertaining to any of the objections which you have identified in your 
request for a hearing. If a hearing is requested by any person other 
than the registrant, that person must also state specifically why he 
asserts that he would be adversely affected by the suspension action 
described in this Notice. Three copies of the request must be submitted 
to: Hearing Clerk, A-110, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, and an additional copy should be sent 
to the signatory listed below. The request must be received by the 
Hearing Clerk by the 30th day from your receipt of this Notice in order 
to be legally effective. The 30-day time limit is established by FIFRA 
and cannot be extended for any reason. Failure to meet the 30-day time 
limit will result in automatic suspension of your registration(s) by 
operation of law and, under such circumstances, the suspension of the 
registration for your affected product(s) will be final and effective 
at the close of business 30 days after your receipt of this Notice and 
will not be subject to further administrative review.
    The Agency's Rules of Practice at 40 CFR 164.7 forbid anyone who 
may take part in deciding this case, at any stage of the proceeding, 
from discussing the merits of the proceeding ex parte with any party or 
with any person who has been connected with the preparation or 
presentation of the proceeding as an advocate or in any investigative 
or expert capacity, or with any of their representatives. Accordingly, 
the following EPA offices, and the staffs thereof, are designated as 
judicial staff to perform the judicial function of EPA in any 
administrative hearings on this Notice of Intent to Suspend: The Office 
of the Administrative Law Judges, the Office of the Judicial Officer, 
the Administrator, the Deputy Administrator, and the members of the 
staff in the immediate offices of the Administrator and Deputy 
Administrator. None of the persons designated as the judicial staff 
shall have any ex parte communication with trial staff or any other 
interested person not employed by EPA on the merits of any of the 
issues involved in this proceeding, without fully complying with the 
applicable regulations.
    2. You may also avoid suspension if, within 30 days of your receipt 
of this Notice, the Agency determines that you have taken appropriate 
steps to comply with the section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice. In 
order to avoid suspension under this option, you must satisfactorily 
comply with Attachment II, Requirement List, for each product by 
submitting all required supporting data/information described in 
Attachment II and in the Explanatory Appendix (Attachment III) to the 
following address (preferably by certified mail):
Office of Compliance Monitoring (7204), Laboratory Data Integrity 
Assurance Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., 
SW., Washington, DC 20460.
    For you to avoid automatic suspension under this Notice, the Agency 
must also determine within the applicable 30-day period that you have 
satisfied the requirement(s) that are the bases of this Notice and so 
notify you in writing. You should submit the necessary data/information 
as quickly as possible for there to be any chance the Agency will be 
able to make the necessary determination in time to avoid suspension of 
your product(s).
    The suspension of the registration(s) of your company's product(s) 
pursuant to this Notice will be rescinded when the Agency determines 
you have complied fully with the requirements which were the bases of 
this Notice. Such compliance may only be achieved by submission of the 
data/information described in the attachments to the signatory below.
    Your product will remain suspended, however, until the Agency 
determines you are in compliance with the requirements which are the 
bases of this Notice and so informs you in writing.
    After the suspension becomes final and effective, the registrant 
subject to this Notice, including all supplemental registrants of 
product(s) listed in Attachment I, may not legally distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.
    Persons other than the registrant subject to this Notice, as 
defined in the preceding sentence, may continue to distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.
    Nothing in this Notice authorizes any person to distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I in any manner which would 
have been unlawful prior to the suspension.
    If the registration(s) of your product(s) listed in Attachment I 
are currently suspended as a result of failure to comply with another 
section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice or Section 4 Data Requirement 
Notice, this Notice, when it becomes a final and effective order of 
suspension, will be in addition to any existing suspension, i.e., all 
requirements which are the bases of the suspension must be satisfied 
before the registration will be reinstated.
    You are reminded that it is your responsibility as the basic 
registrant to notify all supplementary registered distributors of your 
basic registered product that this suspension action also applies to 
their supplementary registered product(s) and that you may be held 
liable for violations committed by your distributors.
    If you have any questions about the requirements and procedures set 
forth in this suspension notice or in the subject 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-
In Notice, please contact Dawn Banks-Waller at (703) 308-8251.
Sincerely yours,

Director, Office of Compliance Monitoring

IV. Attachment III Suspension Report--Explanatory Appendix

    A discussion of the basis for the Notice of Intent to Suspend 
follows:

A. Benomyl

    On June 16, 1992, EPA issued a Data Call-In Notice (DCI) under 
authority of FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B) which required registrants of 
products containing benomyl used as an active ingredient to develop and 
submit data. These data were determined to be necessary to maintain the 
continued registration of affected products. Failure to comply with the 
requirements of a Data Call-In Notice is a basis for suspension under 
section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
    The Benomyl Data Call-In Notice dated June 16, 1992, required each 
affected registrant to submit materials relating to the election of the 
options to address each of the data requirements. That submission was 
required to be received by the Agency within 90 days of the 
registrant's receipt of the Notice. Because the Agency has not received 
a response from you as a benomyl registrant to undertake the required 
testing or any other appropriate response, the Agency is initiating 
through this Notice of Intent to Suspend the actions which FIFRA 
requires it to take under these circumstances.

B. Folpet

    On June 25, 1987, EPA issued a Registration Standard which included 
a Data Call-In Notice (DCI) under authority of FIFRA section 
(3)(c)(2)(B) which required registrants of products containing folpet 
used as an active ingredient to develop and submit data. These data 
were determined to be necessary to maintain the continued registration 
of affected products. Failure to comply with the data requirements of a 
Registration Standard is a basis for suspension under section 
(3)(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
    In a letter dated August 18, 1992, EPA notified the registrant of 
the Agency's determination that the submitted data pertaining to plant 
metabolism, analytical methods, storage stability and the magnitude of 
folpet residues in or on avocado fruit were inadequate and must be 
repeated. The letter imposed protocol and study due dates. The protocol 
was required to be submitted within 45 days and the studies were 
required to be submitted within 15 months of receipt of the August 18 
letter.
    In a September 21, 1992 letter, the registrant requested a time 
extension on the basis that the studies could not be done within the 15 
month time- frame unless the nature of residue for folpet on avocados 
was defined to be folpet and phthalimide. On November 16, 1992, the 
Agency responded that the 15 months that it provided for the registrant 
to complete the studies was an adequate amount of time since the 
analytical methods for folpet and phthalimide have been available for 
many years. In the November 16 letter, the Agency also stated that the 
crop field trial samples should be retained for further analysis should 
new metabolites of concern other than folpet and phthalimide be 
identified. Therefore, the letter denied the extension request and 
maintained the November 24, 1993 due date.
    The Agency was not notified during the 15 months provided to 
generate these studies (other than the initial time extension request 
in September 1992) that the data would not be submitted on time. To 
date, the registrant has failed to satisfy these data requirements in a 
timely or adequate manner. Because you have failed to satisfy the 
residue chemistry requirements for avocados listed in Attachment II, 
the Agency is issuing this Notice of Intent to Suspend.

V. Conclusions

    EPA has issued Notice(s) of Intent to Suspend on the dates 
indicated. Any further information regarding the Notice(s) may be 
obtained from the contact person noted above.

    Dated: March 22, 1994.

III. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must 
submit such withdrawal in writing to James A. Hollins, at the address 
given above, postmarked before June 28, 1994. This written withdrawal 
of the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable 
6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the product(s) have been 
subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of 
cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation 
action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also include a 
commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any 
applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

IV. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the 
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations 
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing 
stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received. 
This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as 
prescribed in Federal Register No. 123, Vol. 56, dated June 26, 1991. 
Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product poses a risk 
concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration requirements, or is 
subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-specific disposition 
dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, 
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be 
distributed, sold or used legally until they are exhausted, provided 
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and 
labeling of the affected product(s). Exceptions to these general rules 
will be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on 
sale, distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have 
already been imposed, as in Special Review actions, or where the Agency 
has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a 
particular chemical.
