------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Background
EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table 1 of Unit I pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g))
and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part
155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, that
pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will
ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the
registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed a
proposed interim or proposed decision for each of the pesticides listed
in Table 1 of Unit I.
The registration review docket for a pesticide includes documents
related to the registration review case. Among other things, these
documents describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk
assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in
Table 1 of Unit I, as well as the Agency's subsequent risk findings and
consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed
interim and proposed registration review decisions are supported by the
rationales included in those documents.
Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on proposed interim and proposed registration
review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the proposed decision.
For additional background on the registration review program, see:
<a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation">https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation</a>.
III. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the Chemical Review Manager for the pesticide of interest
identified in Table 1 of Unit I. In submitting a comment to EPA, please
consider the following:
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> or email. Clearly mark the part or all the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on a disk or CD-ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM 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: <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets</a>.
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.
All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and
must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments
will become part of the docket for the pesticides included in Table 1
in Unit I. The Agency will consider all comments received by the
closing date and may respond to comments in a ``Response to Comments
Memorandum'' in the docket and/or in any subsequent interim or final
registration review decision, as appropriate.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: June 18, 2024.
Jean Overstreet,
Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide
Programs.
