BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 168 [EPA-HQ-OPP2009-0607; FRL-8854-6] RIN 2070-AJ53 Pesticides; Regulation To Clarify Labeling of Pesticides for Export; Notification to the Secretary of Agriculture AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notification to the Secretary of Agriculture. SUMMARY: This document notifies the public that the Administrator of EPA has forwarded to the Secretary of Agriculture a draft proposed rule as required by section 25(a) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
As described in the Agency's semi-annual Regulatory Agenda, the draft proposed rule intends to clarify, restructure, and add specificity to existing labeling regulations for the export of unregistered pesticide products and devices. EPA is also considering a minor new requirement for the labeling of unregistered pesticide products and devices shipped between establishments operated by the same producer to ensure that they are clearly marked as unregistered products intended for export in order to prevent them from inadvertently entering the U.S. market.

(USDA)and does not otherwise affect any specific entities. This action may, however, be of particular interest to those who export a pesticide product, a pesticide device, or an active ingredient used in producing a pesticide. Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be interested in this action. If you have any questions regarding this action, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . II. What action is EPA taking? Section 25(a)(2) of FIFRA requires the Administrator to provide the Secretary of Agriculture with a copy of any proposed regulation at least 60 days before signing it for publication in the **Federal Register** . The draft proposed rule is not available to the public until after it has been signed by EPA. If the Secretary comments in writing regarding the draft proposed rule within 30 days after receiving it, the Administrator shall include the comments of the Secretary and the Administrator's response to those comments in the proposed rule when published in the **Federal Register** . If the Secretary does not comment in writing within 30 days after receiving the draft proposed rule, the Administrator may sign the proposed regulation for publication in the **Federal Register** anytime after the 30-day period. III. Do any statutory and executive order reviews apply to this notification? No. This document is not a proposed rule, it is merely a notification of submission to the Secretary of Agriculture. As such, none of the regulatory assessment requirements apply to this document. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 168 Environmental protection, Exports, Labeling, Pesticides and pests.
