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, 
contact the Chemical Review Manager identified in table 1 of this 
document.

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

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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA posted a proposed interim 
decision for dicrotophos and invited the public to submit any comments 
or new information (89 FR 52457, June 24, 2024 (FRL-11989-01-OCSPP)). 
EPA considered and responded to any comments or information received 
during the public comment period in the respective registration review 
interim decision.
    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)).
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
