Registration Review; Pesticide
Dockets Opened for Review and
Comment
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: EPA has established
registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the table in Unit
III.A. With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
these registration reviews. Registration
review is EPA’s periodic review of
pesticide registrations to ensure that
each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
Agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. Through this
program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide’s registration is based on
current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment. This document
also announces the Agency’s intent not
to open a registration review docket for
pirimicarb. This pesticide does not
currently have any actively registered
pesticide products and is therefore not
scheduled for review under the
registration review program.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 1, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments

registration reviews. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.
This document also announces the Agency's intent not to open a
registration review docket for pirimicarb. This pesticide does not
currently have any actively registered pesticide products and is
therefore not scheduled for review under the registration review
program.

EPA is also announcing that it will not be opening a docket for
pirimicarb because this pesticide is not included in any products
actively registered under FIFRA section 3. The Agency will take
separate actions to cancel any remaining FIFRA section 24(c) Special
Local Needs registrations with this active ingredient and to propose
revocation of any affected tolerances that are not supported for import
purposes only.
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
[[Page 16119]]
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. Information on
the Agency's registration review program and its implementing
regulation may be seen at https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review.
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.
