------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Background
EPA is conducting its registration review of pyrimethanil 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 decision for the
pesticide 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 pesticide 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 registration review decision is 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 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.

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>.
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 pesticide 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.
