Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 6, 2009 / Notices ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY II. Background A. What Action Is the Agency Taking? Section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) directs EPA to reevaluate existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. In 2006, EPA issued a RED for the organic arsenicals MSMA, DSMA, CAMA, and cacodylic acid and its sodium salt under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. In response to a notice of availability published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45554) (FRL–8085–9), the Agency received substantive comments and new data and information from commenters including the technical registrants. The Agency’s response to comments is available for viewing in the public docket. EPA and the technical registrants of these pesticides reached an agreement in principle in January 2009 to implement the RED as revised in part under the terms of the agreement. The RED amendment reflects changes resulting from Agency consideration of the comments and new data and information received, as well as the terms of the agreement in principle. The RED amendment for the organic arsenicals concludes EPA’s reregistration eligibility decisionmaking process for these pesticides. The label table incorporated into the organic arsenicals RED amendment includes modifications which specify label language for the uses of MSMA. 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 mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.
