Mr. Spilker:  question on information you provided RE: pesticide
container regs





Hello, Mr. Spilker:

After the comment period closed on the proposal to amend the pesticide

container-containment regulations, you sent a note to Nancy Fitz and

myself on your request that EPA consider exempting cattle ear tags and

foil packets from labeling requirements.  (Note copied below.)

I am working on making the amendments final.  Part of the process is to

submit relevant documents to the rulemaking docket.

Because of the disclaimer on your email message, I am seeking your

permission to submit your email and the 3 pdfs you enclosed.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hello Doug,

Your best bet would be to email the information to my colleague Jeanne

Kasai and me.  The other option is that you could submit it directly to

the docket by going to the federal regulation portal

(http://www.regulations.gov) and then submitting the comments under the

docket number for the container-containment rule (EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0327).

The only problem is that I just went to that site to give you more

specific directions and couldn't figure out how to do it because the

comment period has officially closed.  Which is why I recommend that you

email the letter to Jeanne and me and we'll enter it into the docket.

Jeanne's email address is kasai.jeanne@epa.gov.

The sooner you can send that information to us, the better.  We are

working on the final rule now and are on a tight timeline to get the

final rule published by November 1, 2008.

Please let Jeanne or I know if you would like any additional

information.  Thanks!

                                    Tags exemption

Hi Nancy,

As we discussed,  I would like to comment on the proposed regs, even

though the docket has closed.  What would be the best way - respond

directly to you or whom?  I have a couple of pictures to include as

well.  Our position will be to request the Agency to consider cattle ear

tags as one-time use products, and the foil packets (pouches) and

packaging be considered similar to the exemptions for pet collars and/or

the foil packets for other single use products.

Can you give me guidance on how to send in the information?

Thanks,

Doug
