III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in Table 1 of Unit II. 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)).
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50, EPA initiates a registration review by
establishing a public docket for a pesticide registration review case.
Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the
public in understanding the types of information and issues that the
Agency has consider during registration review. Consistent with 40 CFR
155.50(a), these dockets may include information from the Agency's
files including, but not limited to, an overview of the registration
review case status, a list of current product registrations and
registrants, any Federal Register notices regarding any pending
registration actions, any Federal Register notices regarding current or
pending tolerances, risk assessments, bibliographies concerning current
registrations, summaries of incident data, and any other pertinent data
or information. EPA includes in
[[Page 57410]]
these dockets a Preliminary Work Plan (PWP), and in some cases a
continuing work plan (CWP), summarizing information EPA has on the
pesticide and the anticipated path forward.
Consistent with 40 CFR 155.50(b), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on work plans and registration review
dockets. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary changes to a
pesticide's workplan. During this public comment period, the Agency is
asking that interested persons identify any additional information they
believe the agency should consider during the registration reviews of
these pesticides. The Agency identifies in each docket the areas where
public comment is specifically requested, though comment in any area is
welcome.
For additional background on the registration review program, see:
<a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation">https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation</a>.
IV. What should I consider as I prepare comment for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through email or
<a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. If you wish to include CBI in your
comment, please follow the applicable instructions at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules</a> and clearly mark the
information that you claim to be CBI. 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 the EPA on or before the closing date. These
comments will become part of the docket for the pesticides included in
table 1 of unit II. 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 or the Final Work Plan (FWP), as
appropriate.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

Programs.
