specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

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. Registration Applications

    EPA has received an application to register a pesticide product 
containing the active ingredient aldicarb. On August 16, 2010, shortly 
before this application for registration was filed, EPA and Bayer, the 
only current registrant of aldicarb, concluded a Memorandum of 
Agreement in which all uses of aldicarb would be cancelled. Pursuant to 
the provisions of section 3(c) (4) of FIFRA, EPA is hereby providing 
notice of receipt of the application to reinstate registrations of 
aldicarb, and an opportunity to comment on this application. Notice of 
receipt of this application does not imply a decision by the Agency on 
this application.
    File Symbol: 87895-R. Applicant: Ag Logic LLC, 121 S. Estes Drive, 
Suite 101, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Product name: Memik 15G. Active 
ingredient: Insecticide aldicarb at 15.0%. Proposed classification/Use: 
Food uses on the following use sites: Cotton, dry beans, peanuts, 
soybeans, sugar beets, and sweet potatoes. Additional information: The 
proposed application rate for cotton grown in California for side dress 
and split application is higher than the currently approved use rate on 
cotton. The proposed rate is 2.1 lbs. aldicarb/acre while the currently 
approved rate is 1.05 lbs. aldicarb/acre. Further, in contrast to the 
terms and conditions of the current time-limited aldicarb registration 
held by Bayer Corporation, Ag Logic LLC is seeking to obtain permanent 
registration for the uses cited in this unit.
