EPA is making available the Agency’s revised risk assessments, initially issued for comment through a Federal Register notice published on August 4, 2004 (69 FR 47141) (FRL–7368–9); responses to comments; and related documents for PCNB. EPA also is soliciting public comment on risk reduction options for PCNB. EPA developed the risk assessments for PCNB as part of its public process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). PCNB is a fungicide used to control diseases on a number of field crops, turf, and ornamentals. Use sites include cole crops, green beans, cotton, potatoes, peanuts, lawns, golf courses, and sod farms. PCNB is applied to soil, foliage, and seeds. EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise comment on risk management for PCNB. Risks of concern associated with the use of PCNB are: Concentrations of PCNB and its metabolites in drinking water which result in dietary risks, risk for residential handlers and postapplication risks to children and adults exposed to treated turf, risks to golfers, occupational risk for a large number of scenarios (for both seed treatment and non-seed treatment handlers), and excess ecological risks (particularly for aquatic organisms). The Agency is soliciting information, via targeting specific risks of concern, in effective and practical risk reduction measures. VerDate jul<14>2003 15:00 Mar 01, 2005 Jkt 205001 EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency’s announcement of its Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819) (FRL–7357–9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, PCNB is being reviewed through the full six-phase public participation process. All comments should be submitted using the methods in Unit I.. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments and proposals will become part of the Agency Docket for PCNB. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to consider these late comments. After considering comments received, EPA will develop and issue the PCNB RED. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ‘‘the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,’’ before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other ‘‘appropriate regulatory action.’’ Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: February 17, 2005.
