Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
This notice announces EPA’s
decision to modify certain risk
mitigation measures that were specified
in the 2008 Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED) for the herbicide
sulfometuron methyl. EPA conducted
this reassessment of the Sulfometuron
Methyl RED in response to public
comments and risk reduction proposals
received during the comment period
following the Sulfometuron Methyl
RED. Based on the new information
received, and in a continuing effort to
mitigate risk, the Agency has made
certain modifications to the
Sulfometuron Methyl RED.

VA. The hours of operation of this
Docket Facility are from 8:30 a.m. to 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The Docket Facility
telephone number is (703) 305–5805.
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 2008, EPA issued a RED
for sulfometuron methyl under section
4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. In response to a
notice of availability published in the
Federal Register of November 12, 2008
(73 FR 219) (FRL–8388–5), the Agency
received comments and mitigation
proposals submitted by the technical
registrant, user groups, and individuals.
The Agency’s response to comments is
available for viewing in the docket. The
amended Sulfometuron Methyl RED
reflects changes resulting from Agency
consideration of these comments and
mitigation proposals. The RED
amendment for sulfometuron methyl
concludes EPA’s reregistration
eligibility decision making process for
this herbicide.
Stakeholder comments, mitigation
proposals, and other information
received by the Agency following the
publication of the Sulfometuron Methyl
RED allowed EPA to further refine the
ecological risk assessment for non-target
plant species and to revise the buffer
zone requirements for sulfometuron
methyl. Based on the comments and
proposals, EPA also refined the
occupational handler exposure risk
estimates and revised the personal
protective equipment (PPE)
requirements for sulfometuron methyl.
The label table incorporated into the
Sulfometuron Methyl RED amendment
includes modifications which specify
label language for required application
parameters, buffer zones, and PPE
requirements.
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 the active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,’’
before calling in product specific data
on individual end-use products and
