SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action 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,

B. What is registration review?
Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that
each pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.
For additional background on the registration review program, see:
<a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation">https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation</a>.
II. What is the Agency's authority for this action?
EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in this document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq., and 40
CFR part 155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other
things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every
15 years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain
registered only if it meets the statutory standard for registration
given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in
accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its intended function without
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that is, without any
unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human
[[Page 16526]]
dietary risk from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in
or on food.
III. What action is the Agency taking?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this document announces the
availability of EPA's interim registration review decision for the
pesticide listed in table 1 of this unit. The interim registration
review decision is supported by rationales included in the docket
established for each chemical undergoing registration review.

136a(c)(5)).
