Comment submiited by Rodney Snyder, Pesticide Policy Coalition

The Pesticide Policy Coalition (“PPC”) hereby formally requests that the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) allow an additional ninety (90) days to respond to two Federal Register Notices (FRNs) on pesticide drift-related topics published on November 4, 2009. The first, “Draft Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on Pesticide Drift Labeling” [74 FR 57166, 11/4/2009, Docket No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0628], requests comment on three documents: (1) Pesticide Registration Notice (PRN) Draft Pesticide Drift Labeling; (2) Draft Pesticide Drift Labeling Interpretation; and (3) Draft PRN Additional Information and Questions for Commenters. The second FRN, “Petition to Protect Children from Pesticide Drift” [74 FR 57168, 11/4/2009, Docket No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0825], requests comment on a petition sent to EPA from Earthjustice and Farmworker Justice. Both FRNs set a deadline for public comment submittal of January 4, 2010. We respectfully request a new deadline of April 5, 2010.
