public comment period. EPA is hereby extending the comment period, 
which was set to end on July 30, 2007.

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, directs that, after submission of 
all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator 
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient 
are eligible for reregistration. Further provisions are made to allow a 
public comment period. However, the Administrator may extend the 
comment period, if additional time for comment is requested. In this 
case, the Humane Society of the United States and the Animal Protection 
Institute have requested additional time to develop comments. The 
Agency believes that an additional 23 days is warranted.
