you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CDROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CDROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at http www.epa.gov/dockets/
comments.html.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general population.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act FIFRA 7 U.S.C. 136p, at the discretion of the EPA Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA
if the EPA Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The UDAF and the MDA have requested the EPA
Administrator to issue public health exemptions for the use of benzene, 11,1-dimethylethyl-4-ethenyl-, polymer with ethenylbenzene and 2-methyl-1,3butadiene, sulfonated referred to as BIAXAM Polymer to treat nonporous surfaces associated with the interior of aircraft and airports to control SARS
CoV2. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of these requests.
As part of these requests, the applicants assert that SARSCoV2, the virus that causes COVID19, presents a significant public health risk, particularly to airline passengers confined in a small space for an extended time period. Although contact liquid and spray disinfectants to control

SARSCoV2 are available, the applicants state that there are no products available that provide ongoing residual protection against the virus.
The applicants state that the requested product, a peel and stick film with BIAXAM polymer coating BIAXAM
Film, adheres to surfaces and kills SARSCoV2 when the virus contacts the surface, providing residual protection on surfaces to people who later come into contact. The applicants believe that the product will provide an essential tool to facilitate safe air travel by protecting against exposure to SARS
CoV2 in airport terminals and aircraft.
The Applicants propose to apply up to 70,000 square feet of BIAXAM film in Utah, and up to 74,000 square feet in Minnesota, to interior nonporous, nonfood-contact surfaces in airport facilities and aircraft owned or controlled by Delta Air Lines, Inc., within the states of Utah and Minnesota.
This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the applications themselves. The regulations governing FIFRA section 18 require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a public health exemption proposing use of a new chemical i.e., an active ingredient which has not been registered as a pesticide by EPA. This notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the applications.
The Agency will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the public health exemptions requested by the UDAF and the MDA.
