SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. 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 EPA
Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any
provision of FIFRA if the EPA Administrator determines that emergency
conditions exist which require the exemption. The Wyoming Department of
Agriculture has requested the EPA Administrator to issue a specific
exemption for the use of diflubenzuron on alfalfa to control
grasshoppers and Mormon crickets. Information in accordance with 40 CFR
part 166 was submitted as part of this request.
    As part of this request, the applicant asserts that projected
population levels for these damaging insect pests are expected to be
extremely high for the 2014 season. The applicant claims that
registered alternatives will not provide adequate control to avert
significant economic losses from occurring.
    The Applicant proposes to make no more than two applications of
diflubenzuron, at a rate of 0.032 lbs. active ingredient (a.i.)
(equivalent to 2 fl. oz. of product containing 2 lbs. a.i. per gallon).
Application could be made on up to 26,000 acres of alfalfa, from the
date of approval, if granted, until October 31, 2014, in the state of
Wyoming. If the maximum proposed acreage were treated at the maximum
rate, a total of 814 lbs. a.i. (407 gallons formulated product) could
be applied.
    This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the
application itself. The regulations governing FIFRA section 18 require
publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific
exemption proposing use which is supported by the Inter-Regional
Project Number 4 (IR-4) program and has been requested in 5 or more
previous years, and a petition for tolerance has not yet been submitted
to the Agency.
    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 Wyoming Department of Agriculture.
