risk assessments for the registration review of 22 sulfonylurea 
chemicals and certain other non-sulfonylurea chemicals. This document 
extends the comment period for 30 days for only the chemicals listed in 
the Table in this document, from November 24, 2015 to December 24, 
2015. The comment period is being extended in response to comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document extends the public comment

2015 (80 FR 57812) (FRL-9933-68). In that document, a public comment 
period opened on EPA's draft human health and ecological risk 
assessments for the registration review of certain members of a group 
of pesticides known collectively as sulfonylureas, as well as various 
non-sulfonylurea chemicals. This extension on the comment period is 
being requested for the sulfonylurea chemicals listed in the Table, 
rather than all the chemicals that were included in the document that 
published in the Federal Register of September 25, 2015. EPA is 
extending the comment period, which was set to end on November 24, 
2015, to December 24, 2015.
