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.
II. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in Table
1 of Unit III pursuant to section 3(g) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Procedural Regulations for Registration
Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA 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. Registration Reviews
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registration for the pesticides listed in
Table 1 to ensure that they continue to
satisfy the FIFRA standard for
registration, that is, that these chemicals
can still be used without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is
providing an opportunity, through this
notice of availability, for interested
parties to provide comments and input
concerning the Agency’s ecological
assessments for the chemicals listed in
Table 1. Such comments and input
could address, among other things, the
Agency’s risk assessment methodology
and assumptions applied to its draft risk
assessments, such as its methodology
for estimating colony-level risk to bees
from exposure to bee bread. The Agency
will then issue updated assessments,
and address public comments.

Additional information on the
registration review status of the
chemicals listed in Table 1, as well as
information on the Agency’s registration
review program and on its
implementing regulation is available at

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability of EPA’s draft human health
and ecological risk assessments for the
registration review of chlorethoxyfos
and the draft human health risk
assessments for the registration review
of diazinon and phosmet, and opens a
public comment period on these
documents. Due a docketing error for
the phosmet draft risk assessment
issued in a previous Federal Register
notice, this notice is announcing the
availability of the phosmet in order to
give the public a full opportunity for
review and comment. The Agency in
this Federal Register notice, is initiating
a 60-day comment period for phosmet.
SUMMARY:

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 100 / Thursday, May 25, 2017 / Notices
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. As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed comprehensive
draft human health and ecological risk
assessments for the registration review
of chlorethoxyfos and the draft human
health risk assessments for the
registration review of diazinon and
phosmet for all uses of these pesticides.
After reviewing comments received
during the public comment period, EPA
may issue a revised risk assessment,
explain any changes to the draft risk
assessment, and respond to comments
and may request public input on risk
mitigation before completing a proposed
registration review decision for
chlorethoxyfos, diazinon, and phosmet.
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.

II. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration review of chlorethoxyfos,

Section 3(g) of FIFRA 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

use of a pesticide in or on food.
III. Registration Reviews
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide

2. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or
information in response to this document. To be considered during a

during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider
data or information submitted at a later date.
The data or information submitted must be presented in a
legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must
accompany any material that is not in English, and a written transcript
must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or
videographic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or
electronic form.
Submitters must clearly identify the source of any
submitted data or information.
Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or
information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However,
submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider
the data or information in the pesticide's registration review.
As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review docket for
each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through the

required in the final decision on the registration review case have
been completed.
