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.
    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 on January 19, 2007, after 
considering all required data on risks associated with the proposed use 
of Z-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, Z-11-tetradecen-1-ol, and Z-11-
tetradecenal, 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 Z-9-tetradecen-
1-yl acetate, Z-11-tetradecen-1-ol, and Z-11-tetradecenal 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 Isomate -CM/LR TT containing the three new active 
ingredients: Z-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, Z-11-tetradecen-1-ol, and Z-
11-tetradecenal (EPA File Symbol 53575-31) containing the same 
chemicals at 4.34%, 1.05%, and 1.00% respectively. However, since the 
notice of receipt of the application to register the product as 
required by section 3(c)(4) of FIFRA, as amended, was not published in 
the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments on or 
before March 30, 2007 for this product only.
