SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This document extends the public comment period established in the Federal Register document of September 25, 2015 (80 FR 57812) (FRL-9933-68). In that document, a public comment period opened on EPA's draft human health and ecological risk assessments for the registration review of certain members of a group of pesticides known collectively as sulfonylureas, as well as various non-sulfonylurea chemicals. This extension on the comment period is being requested for the sulfonylurea chemicals listed in the Table, rather than all the chemicals that were included in the document that published in the Federal Register of September 25, 2015. EPA is extending the comment period, which was set to end on November 24, 2015, to December 24, 2015.
