III. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
Section 4(g)(2) of Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(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.
Further provisions are made to allow a
public comment period. However, the
Administrator may extend the comment
period, if additional time for comment
is requested. In this case, Chloropicrin
Manufacturers Task Force and the Crop
Protection Coalition, have requested
additional time (60 days and 45 days,
respectively) to develop comments. The
Agency believes that an additional 30
days is adequate.
