	The Reregistration Eligibility Decision Document for Copper
8-quinolinolate, dated September 26, 2007, inaccurately indicates that
no public comments were submitted during the Phase III, 60 day public
comment period.  It should be noted that comments were submitted during
the 60 day public comment period for Copper 8-quinolinolate

Through the Agency’s public participation process, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) worked with stakeholders and the public to reach
the regulatory decision for Copper 8-quinolinolate.  During the public
comment period, which closed on September 10, 2007, the Agency received
comments from Osmose, Inc., in response to the EPA’s draft Copper
8-quinolinolate risk assessment (RA) and supporting science documents. 
The comments included suggestions regarding confirmatory data needed to
support the wood treatment use of Copper 8-quinolinolate, as well as
grammatical and typographical error corrections.  The Agency’s
response to these comments has been incorporated, as necessary, into the
revised Copper 8-quinolinolate Risk Assessment and revised supporting
science chapters.  These revised documents are available on the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s public docket at:   HYPERLINK
"http://www.regulations.gov"  http://www.regulations.gov  (Docket ID
#EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0556).  A Response to Comment document will be made
available on the public docket in the future.  In addition, comments
received by the registrants during the Phase I, Error Only Comments
Period, of the RED process are available on the docket.  The Agency is
providing a 60-day public comment period on the RED document.
