By fi1ing this comment, we are not agreeing that interagency review on this rulemaking should start on July 2. As some o f you know, SBA Advocacy has a lrea d y f i 1ed public comments recommendi ng th at EPA withdraw the proposed r u l e . EPA did not e s t a b li sh th at there are unreasonable r i s k s from use o f th i s product th at cannot be accommodated by r i s k management requi rements or other means, in l i e u o f a ban o f unknown scope now being considered by the agency.
