public comment period. EPA is hereby extending the comment period,
which was set to end on July 30, 2007.

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, directs that, after submission of
all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient
are eligible for reregistration. Further provisions are made to allow a
public comment period. However, the Administrator may extend the
comment period, if additional time for comment is requested. In this
case, the Humane Society of the United States and the Animal Protection
Institute have requested additional time to develop comments. The
Agency believes that an additional 23 days is warranted.
