ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
decision to amend the 2003 and 2005
Reregistration Eligibility Decisions
(RED) documents for the antimicrobial
pesticides Ziram and Ferbam
(Reregistration Case 2180). EPA
conducted a reassessment of the Ziram

salts Potassium
Dimethyldithiocarbamate and Sodium
Dimethyldithiocarbamate were not
evaluated at the same time as the rest of
case 2180. The Agency has conducted a

were inadvertently not included in the
2003 and 2005 Reregistration Eligibility
Decision documents for Ziram and

I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public
in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health, 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 attempted to describe all
the specific entities that may be affected
by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare
My Comments for EPA?

the part or all of the information that
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and

or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or

illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
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 2003 and 2005, EPA
issued REDs for Ziram and Ferbam,
respectively, under section 4(g)(2)(A) of
FIFRA. The associated
Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts RED
reflects the evaluation of the final two
active ingredients in case 2180, which
were inadvertently not included in the
2003 and 2005 Ziram and Ferbam
Reregistration Eligibility Decision
documents, as well as efforts by the
Agency to appropriately mitigate overall
risk. The RED amendment for Ziram and
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
47575
Ferbam concludes EPA’s reregistration
eligibility decision-making process for
these pesticides.
The Agency evaluated Sodium
Dimethyldithiocarbamate and
Potassium Dimethyldithiocarbamate
and determined that products
containing Dimethyldithiocarbamate
Salts are eligible for reregistration,
provided that the risk mitigation
measures identified within the
Dimethyldithiocrabmante Salts RED
addendum are adopted and labels are
amended accordingly. The label table
incorporated into the
Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts RED
addendum includes modifications
which specify label language for
protecting occupational handlers from
inhalation exposure to powdered enduse products, as well as amending the
environmental hazards statement for
clarity.
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.’’
