Pesticide Registration Review; New
Dockets Opened for Review and
Comment
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA has established
registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the table in Unit
III.A. With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
these registration reviews. 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. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
Agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. 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. This document
also announces the Agency’s intent not
to open a registration review docket for
sulfosate. This pesticide does not
currently have any active federally
PO 00000

registered pesticide products and is not,
therefore, scheduled for review under
the registration review program.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 3, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments
identified by the docket identification
(ID) number for the specific pesticide of
interest provided in the table in Unit
III.A., by one of the following methods:

to EPA without going through
regulations.gov, your e-mail address
will be automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is
placed in the docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public
in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health,
farmworker, and agricultural advocates;
the chemical industry; pesticide users;
and members of the public interested in
the sale, distribution, or use of
pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare
My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD ROM the specific information that is
claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
5051
viii. Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. Authority
EPA is initiating its reviews of the
pesticides identified in this document
pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review
published on August 9, 2006, and
effective on October 10, 2006 (71 FR
45719) (FRL–8080–4), also at https://
www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/
August/Day-09/p12904.htm. Section
3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other
things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be periodically
reviewed. The goal is a review of a
pesticide’s registration every 15 years.
Under section 3(a) of 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). 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
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is periodically reviewing pesticide
registrations to assure that they continue
to satisfy the FIFRA standard for
registration—that is, they can still be
used without unreasonable adverse
effects on human health or the
environment. The implementing
regulations establishing the procedures
for registration review appear at 40 CFR
part 155. A pesticide’s registration
review begins when the Agency
establishes a docket for the pesticide’s
registration review case and opens the
docket for public review and comment.
At present, EPA is opening registration
review dockets for the cases identified
in the following table.

EPA is also announcing that it will
not be opening a docket for sulfosate
because this pesticide is not included in
any products actively registered under
section 3 of FIFRA. Sulfosate federally
registered products have been canceled
under the ‘‘Cancellation of Pesticides for
Non-payment of Year 2004 Maintenance
Fees’’ (October 27, 2004; 69 FR 62666;
FRL–7683–7). The Agency will take
separate actions to propose revocation
of any affected tolerances that are not
supported for import purposes only.
B. Docket Content
1. Review dockets. The registration
review dockets contain information that
the Agency may consider in the course
of the registration review. The Agency
may include information from its files
including, but not limited to, the
following information:
• An overview of the registration
review case status.
• A list of current product
registrations and registrants.
• FR Notices regarding any pending
registration actions.
• FR Notices regarding current or
pending tolerances.
• Risk assessments.
• Bibliographies concerning current
registrations.
• Summaries of incident data.
• Any other pertinent data or
information.
Each docket contains a document
summarizing what the Agency currently
knows about the pesticide case that
includes a preliminary work plan for
anticipated assessment and data needs.
Additional documents provide more
detailed information. During this public
comment period, the Agency is asking
that interested persons identify any
additional information they believe the
Agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides.
The Agency identifies in each docket
the areas where public comment is
specifically requested, though comment
in any area is welcome.
2. Other related information. More
information on these cases, including
the active ingredients for each case, may
be located in the registration review

registration_review/schedule.htm.
Information on the Agency’s registration
review program and its implementing
regulation may be seen at https://
www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/
registration_review/.
3. Information submission
requirements. Anyone may submit data
or information in response to this
document. To be considered during a
pesticide’s registration review, the
submitted data or information must
meet the following requirements:
To ensure that EPA will consider data
or information submitted, interested
persons must submit the data or
information 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 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 part 155,
subpart C, § 155.58, the registration
review docket for each pesticide case
will remain publicly accessible through
the duration of the registration review
process; that is, until all actions
required in the final decision on the
registration review case have been
completed.

Pesticide Registration Review; New Dockets Opened for Review and
Comment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA has established registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the table in Unit III.A. With this document, EPA
is opening the public comment period for these registration reviews.
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. Registration review dockets contain information
that will assist the public in understanding the types of information
and issues that the Agency may consider during the course of
registration reviews. 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.
This document also announces the Agency's intent not to open a
registration review docket for sulfosate. This pesticide does not
currently have any active federally registered pesticide products and
is not, therefore, scheduled for review under the registration review
program.

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
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is periodically reviewing
pesticide registrations to assure that they continue to satisfy the
FIFRA standard for registration--that is, they can still be used
without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the
environment. The implementing regulations establishing the procedures
for registration review appear at 40 CFR part 155. A pesticide's
registration review begins when the Agency establishes a docket for the
pesticide's registration review case and opens the docket for public
review and comment. At present, EPA is opening registration review
dockets for the cases identified in the following table.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA is also announcing that it will not be opening a docket for
sulfosate because this pesticide is not included in any products
actively registered under section 3 of FIFRA. Sulfosate federally
registered products have been canceled under the ``Cancellation of
Pesticides for Non-payment of Year 2004 Maintenance Fees'' (October 27,
2004; 69 FR 62666; FRL-7683-7). The Agency will take separate actions
to propose revocation of any affected tolerances that are not supported
for import purposes only.
B. Docket Content
1. Review dockets. The registration review dockets contain
information that the Agency may consider in the course of the
registration review. The Agency may include information from its files
including, but not limited to, the following information:
An overview of the registration review case status.
A list of current product registrations and registrants.
FR Notices regarding any pending registration actions.
FR Notices regarding current or pending tolerances.
Risk assessments.
Bibliographies concerning current registrations.
Summaries of incident data.
Any other pertinent data or information.
Each docket contains a document summarizing what the Agency
currently knows about the pesticide case that includes a preliminary
work plan for anticipated assessment and data needs. Additional
documents provide more detailed information. During this public comment
period, the Agency is asking that interested persons identify any
additional information they believe the Agency should consider during
the registration reviews of these pesticides. The Agency identifies in
each docket the areas where public comment is specifically requested,
though comment in any area is welcome.
2. Other related information. More information on these cases,
including the active ingredients for each case, may be located in the
registration review schedule on the Agency's website at https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/schedule.htm. Information on
the Agency's registration review program and its implementing
regulation may be seen at https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/.
3. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or
information in response to this document. To be considered during a
pesticide's registration review, the submitted data or information must
meet the following requirements:
To ensure that EPA will consider data or information submitted,
interested persons must submit the data or information 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 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 part 155, subpart C, Sec. 155.58, the
registration review docket for each pesticide case will remain publicly
accessible through the duration of the registration review process;
that is, until all actions required in the final decision on the
registration review case have been completed.
