Pesticide Product Registration; Receipt of Applications for New Uses; Correction and Reopening of Comment Period

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Notice; correction and reopening of comment period.

SUMMARY:

EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of January 13, 2016 (81 FR 1625) concerning Pesticide Product Registration; Receipt of Applications for New Uses. The notice inadvertently identified the applications listed as being new active ingredients rather than new uses. This document corrects that error and also reopens the comment period for an additional 15 days. EPA expects that anyone with an interest in this action would likely have been interested in the previous notices published for this chemical, and therefore already had proper notice. EPA is providing this extra 15 days as a courtesy. EPA has received applications to register new uses for pesticide products containing currently registered active ingredients. Pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is hereby providing notice of receipt and opportunity to comment on these applications.
