The Agency’s Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 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 their uses, risks, and other factors, chloropicrin, dazomet, metam sodium/potassium, and methyl bromide were reviewed through the full 6–Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for these pesticides. 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. The Agency is issuing the chloropicrin, dazomet, metam sodium/potassium, and methyl bromide REDs for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input in particular with regard to implementation of risk mitigation measures, and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the REDs. To assist readers in providing information that would be most useful to the Agency, EPA is providing a Commenter’s Guide to the Soil Fumigant REDs. This document is available in the individual dockets listed in the Table in this Unit, and on EPA’s soil fumigants Web page, https:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/reregistration/ soil_fumigants/ . All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and the Docket ID numbers in the Table in this Unit, and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Dockets for these pesticides. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to consider these late comments. For each pesticide, the Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:44 Jul 15, 2008 Jkt 214001 Chemical Review Manager, Telephone Number, Email Address Steven Weiss (703) 308–8293 weiss.steven@epa.gov provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal Register. In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the chloropicrin, dazomet, metam sodium/metam potassium, and methyl bromide REDs will be implemented as now presented. 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.’’ List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.
