II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Under section 4 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating
existing pesticides to ensure that they
meet current scientific and regulatory
standards. EPA has completed a
Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)
for the inorganic chlorates under section
4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Of the inorganic
chlorates listed as active ingredients,
only sodium chlorate is present as an
active ingredient in currently registered
products. Sodium chlorate is a nonselective, contact herbicide, and is used
on both agricultural and nonagricultural use sites. Sodium chlorate
is also used in drinking water
disinfection processes. Sodium chloratecontaining pesticide products are
eligible for reregistration, provided the
risks are mitigated either in the manner
described in the RED or by any other
means that achieve equivalant risk
reduction. Upon submission of any
required product specific data under
section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary
changes to the registration and labeling
(either to address concerns identified in
the RED or as a result of product
specific data), EPA will make a final
reregistration decision under section
4(g)(2)(C) for products containing
sodium chlorate.
EPA must review tolerances and
tolerance exemptions that were in effect
when the Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA) was enacted in August 1996, to
ensure that these existing pesticide
residue limits for food and feed
commodities meet the safety standard
established by the new law. Tolerances
are considered reassessed once the
safety finding has been made or a
revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed
and made the requisite safety finding for
the sodium chlorate tolerances included
in this notice.
EPA is applying the principles of
public participation to all pesticides
undergoing reregistration and tolerance
reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide
Tolerance Reassessment and
Reregistration; Public Participation
Process, published in the Federal
Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:24 Aug 15, 2006
Jkt 208001
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, the inorganic
chlorates, which include sodium
chlorate as the only active ingredient,
were reviewed through the modified 4Phase public participation process.
Through this process, EPA worked
extensively with stakeholders and the
public to reach the regulatory decisions
for sodium chlorate.
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. Few
substantive comments were received
during the earlier comment periods for
this pesticide, and/or all issues related
to this pesticide were resolved through
consultations with stakeholders. The
Agency therefore is issuing the
inorganic chlorates 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.

Chloroneb; Termination of Certain
Uses and Label Amendments
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
cancellation order for the termination of
certain uses and label amendments,
voluntarily requested by the registrant
and accepted by the Agency, of products
containing the pesticide chloroneb,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows an April 19,
2006 Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Request from the chloroneb registrant
to voluntarily terminate certain uses of
its chloroneb products and label
amendments. The request would
terminate chloroneb’s use on residential
lawns and turf, as well as on lawns and
turf of parks and schools. In the April
19, 2006 Notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order to implement the
termination of certain uses, unless the
Agency received substantive comments
within the 30 day comment period that
would merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrant
withdrew their request within this
period. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the Notice. Further, the
registrant did not withdraw their
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues
in this notice a cancellation order
granting the request to terminate the use
on residential lawns and turf, as well as
on lawns and turf of parks and schools.
Any distribution, sale, or use of the
chloroneb products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks
provisions.
The cancellations are effective
August 16, 2006.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's cancellation order for the
termination of certain uses and label amendments, voluntarily requested
by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of products containing
the pesticide chloroneb, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows an April 19, 2006 Federal Register Notice of
Receipt of Request from the chloroneb registrant to voluntarily
terminate certain uses of its chloroneb products and label amendments.
The request would terminate chloroneb's use on residential lawns and
turf, as well as on lawns and turf of parks and schools. In the April
19, 2006 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order to
implement the termination of certain uses, unless the Agency received
substantive comments within the 30 day comment period that would merit
its further review of these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew
their request within this period. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the Notice. Further, the registrant did not withdraw their
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
order granting the request to terminate the use on residential lawns
and turf, as well as on lawns and turf of parks and schools. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the chloroneb products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of
this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective August 16, 2006.
