ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
intention to modify certain risk
mitigation measures that were imposed
as a result of the 2006 Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide permethrin. EPA conducted
this reassessment of the permethrin RED
in response to public comments
received. In response to the commentors
and continuing efforts to mitigate risk,
the Agency has made several
modifications to the permethrin RED
label requirements including:
Clarification of application rates to
mushroom houses; revised droplet sizes
for wide area mosquito abatement
products; and mandatory label
statements for canine spot-on products,
pre-construction termiticide
applications, and spray drift language
for agricultural products. Additionally,
the Agency has revised the data
requirements and added a statement to
Section IV of the RED to address
concerns regarding the residential use of
outdoor pesticide misting systems.

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. In 2006, EPA issued a RED
for permethrin under section 4(g)(2)(A)
of FIFRA. In response to a notice of
availability published in the Federal
Register on June 28, 2006 (71 FR 36788)
(FRL–8074–5), the Agency received
substantive comments from the
technical registrant and other
commentors. The Agency’s response to
these comments is available for viewing
in the public docket. The amended
permethrin RED reflects changes
resulting from these comments as well
as subsequent efforts by the Agency to
mitigate overall risk.
III. What Does this Amendment Do?
I. General Information
PO 00000
II. Background
The amended permethrin RED reflects
revisions resulting from Agency
consideration of public comments to the
RED and efforts to develop standardized
label language for certain applications.
The label table incorporated into the
permethrin RED amendment includes
modifications which provide mandatory
label language for canine spot-on

products, pre-construction termiticide
applications, and spray drift language
for agricultural products; clarification of
application rates to mushroom houses;
and revised droplet sizes for wide area
mosquito abatement products.
In addition, to address concerns
regarding the residential use of outdoor
pesticide misting systems, the following
statement has been added to the
permethrin RED: ‘‘The Agency has
developed an Outdoor Residential
Misting System web-based fact sheet
page designed to help consumers decide
if these systems are appropriate for their
home, understand safety precautions
about using outdoor misting systems,
find related information on Integrated
Pest Management, and understand the
role of the US EPA and state agencies
in regulating misters.’’
Also, the permethrin RED has been
amended to reflect the Agency’s
determination that efficacy data is
required for the following product
groups which claim to target public
health pests: Outdoor residential
misting systems, permethrin
impregnated clothing products, and
permethrin products used on domestic
animals. The generic data call-in
requirements have also been revised to
exclude the following confirmatory
studies which the Agency has
determined are not required: Whole
sediment acute toxicity for freshwater
and estuarine/marine invertebrates,
directions for use, and enforcement
analytical method for animals.
