Did
EPA
Conditionally
Approve
the
Application?
A
conditional
registration
may
be
granted
under
section
3(
c)(
7)(
C)
of
FIFRA
for
a
new
active
ingredient
where
certain
data
are
lacking,
on
condition
that
such
data
are
received
by
the
end
of
the
conditional
registration
period
and
do
not
meet
or
exceed
the
risk
criteria
set
forth
in
40
CFR
154.7;
that
use
of
the
pesticide
during
the
conditional
registration
period
will
not
cause
unreasonable
adverse
effects;
and
that
use
of
the
pesticide
is
in
the
public
interest.
The
Agency
has
considered
the
available
data
on
the
risks
associated
with
the
proposed
use
of
Macleaya
extract,
and
information
on
social,
economic,
and
environmental
benefits
to
be
derived
from
such
use.
Specifically,
the
Agency
has
considered
the
nature
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
Macleaya
extract
during
the
period
of
conditional
registration
will
not
cause
any
unreasonable
adverse
effect
on
the
environment,
and
that
use
of
the
pesticide
is,
in
the
public
interest.
Consistent
with
section
3(
c)(
7)(
C)
of
FIFRA,
the
Agency
has
determined
that
these
conditional
registrations
are
in
the
public
interest.
Use
of
the
pesticides
are
of
significance
to
the
user
community,
and
appropriate
labeling,
use
directions,
and
other
measures
have
been
taken
to
ensure
that
use
of
the
pesticides
will
not
result
in
unreasonable
adverse
effects
to
man
and
the
environment.

II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

Under
section
18
of
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(FIFRA)
(7
U.
S.
C.
136p),
at
the
discretion
of
the
Administrator,
a
federal
or
state
agency
may
be
exempted
from
any
provision
of
FIFRA
if
the
Administrator
determines
that
emergency
conditions
exist
which
require
the
exemption.
The
Maine
Department
of
Agriculture,
Food,
and
Rural
Resources
has
requested
the
Administrator
to
issue
a
specific
exemption
for
the
use
of
thymol
and
eucalyptus
oil
on
honey
and
beeswax
to
control
Varroa
mite.
Information
in
accordance
with
40
CFR
part
166
was
submitted
as
part
of
this
request.
As
part
of
this
request,
the
Applicant
asserts
that
Varroa
mites
were
first
detected
in
Maine
in
November
of
1987.
Since
1988,
beekeepers
have
treated
their
colonies
with
fluvalinate
to
control
Varroa.
Varroa
mite
resistance
to
fluvalinate
is
widespread
in
Maine.
In
1999,
a
section
18
emergency
exemption
was
granted
by
EPA
for
the
treatment
of
Varroa
and
the
small
hive
beetle.
During
the
fall
of
2001,
a
Florida­
Maine
migratory
beekeeping
operation
was
determined
to
have
Varroa
with
resistance
to
coumaphos
and
fluvalinate.
Maine
produced
231,000
pounds
of
honey
in
2000
valued
at
$173,000
wholesale.
The
honey
bee
and
beekeeping
industry
is
essential
for
crop
pollination.
Maine
is
the
primary
producer
of
blueberries
in
the
world,
an
industry
that
contributes
$75
­
100
million
to
the
state's
annual
economy.
Honey
bees
also
pollinate
the
state's
apple
crop
and
other
fruits
and
vegetables
with
an
estimated
value
of
over
$30
million
per
year.
The
Applicant
proposes
to
treat
13,000
hives
in
late
summer
or
fall
at
least
5
months
prior
to
harvesting
the
honey.
A
maximum
of
26,000
tablets
weighing
11
grams
each
will
be
used.
This
notice
does
not
constitute
a
decision
by
EPA
on
the
application
itself.
The
regulations
governing
section
18
of
FIFRA
require
publication
of
a
notice
of
receipt
of
an
application
for
a
specific
exemption
proposing
use
of
a
new
chemical
(i.
e.,
an
active
ingredient)
which
has
not
been
registered
by
EPA,
as
well
as
a
first
food
use
of
a
chemical.
The
notice
provides
an
opportunity
for
public
comment
on
the
application.
The
Agency,
will
review
and
consider
all
comments
received
during
the
comment
period
in
determining
whether
to
issue
the
specific
exemption
requested
by
the
Maine
Department
of
Agriculture,
Food,
and
Rural
Resources.

SUMMARY:
USEPA
is
proposing
to
execute
a
Prospective
Purchaser
Agreement
(``
PPA'')
under
authority
of
the
Comprehensive
Environmental
Response,
Compensation,
and
Liability
Act
of
1980
(``
CERCLA''),
42
U.
S.
C.
9601
et
seq.,
as
amended,
and
under
the
inherent
authority
of
the
Attorney
General
of
the
United
States
to
compromise
and
settle
claims
of
the
United
States,
for
the
transfer
of
title
to
property
at
the
Midwest
Portland
Cement
Superfund
Site,
located
in
East
Fultonham,
Ohio,
to
a
purchaser
who
will
obtain
title
to
the
Site
through
the
judicial
sale
process.
The
PPA
is
intended
to
resolve
the
liability
under
CERCLA
of
the
purchaser
for
costs
incurred
by
USEPA
in
conducting
response
actions
at
the
Site.
In
return
for
a
covenant
not
to
sue
and
contribution
protection
from
USEPA,
subject
to
standard
reservations
of
rights,
the
purchaser
will
pay
$350,000
in

was
operated
by

Portland
Cement
Company
(``

as
a
cement
manufacturing
and
limestone
mining
facility
until
ceasing
operations
in
March,
1993.

response
action
at
the
Site
was
completed
on
January
20,
1998.
The
Site
is
not
on
the
National
Priorities
List.
No
further
response
activities
by
USEPA
are
anticipated
at
the
Site
at
this
time.
The
MPC
estate
is
being
liquidated
under
Chapter
7
of
the
Bankruptcy
Code
in
the
United
States
Bankruptcy
Court
for
the
Western
District
of
Pennsylvania
(Case
No.
97–
23098–
JLC).
MPC's
real
estate
was
the
subject
of
a
judicial
sale
that
took
place
on
June
18,
2002.
