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 signed a RED for iodine and iodophor complexes under section 
4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. An additional amendment was signed on March 17, 
2009.
    Taking into consideration all available information on iodine, 
including its relatively low acute toxicity, the reversibility of 
subclinical hypothyroidism, the low toxicity of the iodophor complexes, 
the Food and Drug Administration's designation of iodide as a 
``Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)'' chemical, the presence of 
iodine in food products, and the sporadic and short-term nature of the 
antimicrobial uses, the Agency concludes that exposure to iodine and 
iodophor complexes from the EPA-registered uses present no risk of 
concern. No mitigation measures are necessary at this time. The March 
17, 2009 amendment to the Iodine and Iodophor Complexes RED is 
inclusive of a Labeling Changes Summary Table and a revised Appendix A. 
The label table incorporated into the Iodine and Iodophor Complexes 
March 17, 2009 RED amendment includes modifications which specify label 
language for emergency human drinking water use. Appendix A is 
inclusive of the current EPA-registered products containing iodine or 
an iodophor complex as an active ingredient.

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.''
