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

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 at
40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 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 FIFRA section 3(a), 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
37951
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.

Registration Review Case Name and Number

EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–[insert Docket ID no.]
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.
• Federal Register notices regarding
any pending registration actions.
• Federal Register 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 and a
preliminary work plan for anticipated
data and assessment 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

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 a 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

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.

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.
Federal Register notices regarding any pending
registration actions.
Federal Register 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 and a preliminary work plan
for anticipated data and assessment 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 a
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 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.
