B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
regulations.gov or e-mail. 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 submitting comments, 
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying 
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to 
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and 
substitute language for your requested changes.

[[Page 52541]]

    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information 
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you 
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and 
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of 
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period 
deadline identified.

II. Did EPA Approve the Application?

    The Agency approved the application after considering all required 
data on risks associated with the proposed use of coyote urine, and 
information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be 
derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of 
the chemical and its pattern of use, application methods and rates, and 
level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the 
Agency was able to make basic health and safety determinations which 
show that use of coyote urine when used in accordance with widespread 
and commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable 
adverse effects to the environment.

III. Approved Application

    The company submitted an application to EPA to register the 
pesticide product ShakeAway Deer Repellent Granules (EPA File Symbol 
80917-1) containing the same chemical at 5 percent. However, since the 
notice of receipt of the application to register the product as 
required by section 3(c)(4) of FIFRA, as amended, did not publish in 
the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments on or 
before October 6, 2006 for this product only.
    Listed below is the application approved on March 28, 2006 for 
ShakeAway Deer Repellent Granules.
    EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of December 
15, 2004 (69 FR 75063) (FRL-7687-7), which announced that Shake-Away, 
2330 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT, 06518, had submitted an application to 
register the pesticide product, Deer Repellent Granules, an animal 
repellent (File Symbol 80917-R), containing 5% coyote urine. This 
product was not previously registered.
    The application was approved on March 28, 2006, as Shake-Away Deer 
Repellent Granules (EPA Registration Number 80917-1) as an animal 
repellent.
