risk, extent of use, complexity of issues,
and degree of public concern associated
with each pesticide. Due to its uses,
risks, and other factors, imazapyr was
reviewed through the modified 4-Phase
public participation process. Through
this process, EPA worked extensively
with stakeholders and the public to
reach the regulatory decisions for
imazapyr.
The reregistration program is being
conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA
recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. An
additional comment period was not
required for imazapyr since all risk
issues associated with the use of this
pesticide were resolved through
consultations with stakeholders. The
Agency therefore is issuing the
imazapyr RED without a comment
period.
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 Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (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.

forth in FFDCA section 408(d)(2);
however, EPA has not fully evaluated
the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support
granting of the pesticide petitions.
Additional data may be needed before
EPA rules on the pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of the petitions included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner
along with a description of the
analytical method available for the
detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available
on EPA’s Electronic Docket at https://
www.regulations.gov. To locate this
