SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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, farm
worker, 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
chemical review manager listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
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
38287
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
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to
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?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice
announces the availability of EPA’s
proposed registration review decisions
for the pesticides shown in the
following table, and opens a 60-day
public comment period on the proposed
decisions. Tralomethrin is a broadspectrum Type II systemic pyrethroid
ester insecticide that is registered for
use in a variety of residential and
commercial settings, and on a small
number of agricultural crops including
broccoli, cauliflower, cotton, lettuce,
peanuts, and sunflowers.
Fenarimol is a member of the
pyrimidine class of fungicides used for
control of such pests as scab, powdery
mildew, rusts, and leaf spot. Fenarimol
inhibits fungal growth by adversely
affecting the formation of the fungal
sterol ergosterol, and is currently
registered for use on fruit and nut crops
such as apples, cherries, filberts
(nonbearing), grapes, hops, pears, and
pecans as well as on ornamental plants,
trees, and grasses and turf lawns.

The documents in the initial dockets

not conducting additional risk

of the pesticides included in the table in

srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
38288
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2012 / Notices
Unit II.A. These proposed registration
review decisions continue to be
supported by those rationales included
in documents in the initial dockets.
Following public comment, the
Agency will issue final registration
review decisions for products
containing the pesticides listed in the
table in Unit II.A. The registration
review program is being conducted
under congressionally mandated time
frames, and EPA recognizes the need
both to make timely decisions and to
involve the public. Section 3(g) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended,
required EPA to establish by regulation
procedures for reviewing pesticide
registrations, originally with a goal of
reviewing each pesticide’s registration
every 15 years to ensure that a pesticide
continues to meet the FIFRA standard
for registration. The Agency’s final rule
to implement this program was issued
in August 2006 and became effective in
October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR
part 155, subpart C. The Pesticide
Registration Improvement Act of 2003
(PRIA) was amended and extended in
September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by
PRIA in 2007, requires EPA to complete
registration review decisions by October
1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as
of October 1, 2007.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed registration review decisions.
This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input
and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the proposed
decision. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in
ADDRESSES, and must be received by
EPA on or before the closing date. These
comments will become part of the
docket for the pesticides included in the
table in Unit II.A. Comments received
after the close of the comment period
will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and will provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The final registration review
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the decision and
provide the Agency’s response to
significant comments.

registration review program is provided

documents related to the registration
review of these pesticides are provided

for use on fruit and nut crops such as apples, cherries, filberts
(nonbearing), grapes, hops, pears, and pecans as well as on ornamental
plants, trees, and grasses and turf lawns.

The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review of the case. For example,
the review opened with the posting of a Summary Document, containing a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final Work Plan was posted
to the docket following public comment on the initial docket.
The documents in the initial dockets described the Agency's
rationales for not conducting additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides included in the table in
[[Page 38288]]
Unit II.A. These proposed registration review decisions continue to be
supported by those rationales included in documents in the initial
dockets.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue final registration
review decisions for products containing the pesticides listed in the
table in Unit II.A. The registration review program is being conducted
under congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need
both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. Section 3(g)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended, required EPA to establish by regulation procedures for
reviewing pesticide registrations, originally with a goal of reviewing
each pesticide's registration every 15 years to ensure that a pesticide
continues to meet the FIFRA standard for registration. The Agency's
final rule to implement this program was issued in August 2006 and
became effective in October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR part 155,
subpart C. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA)
was amended and extended in September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by PRIA
in 2007, requires EPA to complete registration review decisions by
October 1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as of October 1, 2007.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed registration
review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the proposed decision. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA
on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the
docket for the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A. Comments
received after the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.''
EPA is not required to consider these late comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The final registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the decision and provide the Agency's
response to significant comments.

earlier documents related to the registration review of these
pesticides are provided at: https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/reg_review_status.htm.
B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 155, subpart C, provide
authority for this action.
