Subject: TOXICS - ND. EPA. Petition Requesting Cancellation of all Tetrachlorvinphos Pet Uses and Extension of Comment Period for Petition Requesting
Cancellation of Propoxur Pet Collar Uses; Notice of Availability

Petition Requesting Cancellation of all Tetrachlorvinphos Pet
Uses and Extension of Comment Period for Petition Requesting
Cancellation of Propoxur Pet Collar Uses; Notice of Availability
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 24, 2009, the Agency received a petition from the
Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to cancel all pet uses for the
pesticide tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP) and a supplement to a previous NRDC
petition to cancel all pet collar uses for the pesticide propoxur. NRDC
requested these cancellations based on their belief that EPA failed to
adequately assess residential exposures to TCVP and propoxur pet
collars. NRDC believes that EPA used incorrect exposure assumptions
leading to underestimation of residential risk in the TCVP
Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED), Propoxur RED, and N-methyl
Carbamate (NMC) Cumulative Risk Assessment (CRA). On April 8, 2009, the
Agency opened a 60-day public comment period for the petition to cancel
propoxur pet collar uses, originally scheduled to close June 8, 2009.
This notice extends the comment period on the propoxur petition to
correspond with the timing of the TCVP comment period.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 4, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments for TCVP, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0308, and for propoxur,
identified by docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0207, by one of the
following methods:
