III. Registration Reviews
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations identified in the table in
this unit 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. 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.

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.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Under section 408(d) of the FFDCA,
21 U.S.C. 346a , EPA is authorized to
establish tolerances for pesticide
residues in or on food based on a
petition from any person. Ordinarily,
EPA resolves these petitions either by
granting or denying them (21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(4)). EPA’s regulations, however,
allow petitions to be withdrawn by the
petitioner without prejudice to refiling
the petition at a later date (40 CFR
180.8). EPA has received notifications
from various petitioners withdrawing,
partially or completely, the following
tolerances: PP 0E6102, 1E6427, 2E6388,

6E7164, 6E7165, 7E7213, 7E7309,
7E7238, 7F7295 and 9E5075. By this
action, EPA is providing the general
public with notice that the above-cited
petitions have been withdrawn by the
petitioners. The petitioners may refile
these petitions in the future without
prejudice. The petitions and the
withdrawal notifications are described
below.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Under section 408(d) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a , EPA is
authorized to establish tolerances for pesticide residues in or on food
based on a petition from any person. Ordinarily, EPA resolves these
petitions either by granting or denying them (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(4)).
EPA's regulations, however, allow petitions to be withdrawn by the
petitioner without prejudice to refiling the petition at a later date
(40 CFR 180.8). EPA has received notifications from various petitioners
withdrawing, partially or completely, the following tolerances: PP
0E6102, 1E6427, 2E6388, 2E6509, 4E6868, 5E7013, 5E7014, 5F7018, 6E7047,
6E7048, 6E7056, 6E7164, 6E7165, 7E7213, 7E7309, 7E7238, 7F7295 and

prejudice. The petitions and the withdrawal notifications are described
