ADDRESSES:
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,
farmworker, 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.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. Authority
EPA is initiating its reviews of the
pesticides identified in this document
pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM
26JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices
Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at
40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g)
of FIFRA provides, among other things,
that the registrations of pesticides are to
be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be
registered or remain registered only if it
meets the statutory standard for
registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized
practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without
unreasonable adverse effects on the
environment; that is, without any
unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk
from residues that result from the use of
a pesticide in or on food.
III. Registration Reviews
A. What action is the Agency taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g),
EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations identified in the table in
38329
this unit to assure that they continue to
satisfy the FIFRA standard for
registration—that is, they can still be
used without unreasonable adverse
effects on human health or the
environment. A pesticide’s registration
review begins when the Agency
establishes a docket for the pesticide’s
registration review case and opens the
docket for public review and comment.
At present, EPA is opening registration
review dockets for the cases identified
in the following table.

use of a pesticide in or on food.
III. Registration Reviews
A. What action is the Agency taking?
As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations identified in the table in this unit to assure that they
continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, they
can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects on human health
or the environment. A pesticide's registration review begins when the
Agency establishes a docket for the pesticide's registration review
case and opens the docket for public review and comment. At present,
EPA is opening registration review dockets for the cases identified in
the following table.

This document also announces the registration review case closures
for the pesticides ODM (case 0258) and resmethrin (case
0421), and the availability of their respective Case Closure
Documents. For ODM, the Notice of Receipt of a Request to Voluntarily
Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations was issued on February 20, 2013,
for a 30 day comment period (78 FR 11881) (FRL-9378-9); the Agency did
not receive any comments. On May 1, 2013, the Agency published the
Cancellation Order for all ODM product registrations in the Federal
Register (78 FR 25438) (FRL-9384-7). Due to the publication of the
Cancellation Order for all registered ODM products in the United
States, the Agency closed the registration review case for ODM,
pursuant to 40 CFR 155.42(c). In addition to the registration review
Case Closure Document, the registration review docket (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-
0328) for ODM also includes other relevant documents related to the
registration review of this case. This action is not open for public
comment.
For resmethrin, the Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily
Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations was published in the Federal
Register on November 28, 2012 for a 180-day public comment period (77
FR 70998) (FRL-9370-3). This notice announced voluntary cancellation
requests that would terminate the last resmethrin products registered
for use in the United States. No comments that impacted the Agency's
decision to grant the cancellation requests were received during the
180-day public comment period. On June 26, 2013, the Agency published
the Cancellation Order for all resmethrin registrations. Due to the
publication of the Cancellation Order for all registered resmethrin
products in the United States, the Agency has closed the registration
review case for resmethrin, pursuant to 40 CFR 155.42(c). The
resmethrin registration review Case Closure Document, along with other
documents relevant to the registration review of resmethrin, is
available in the resmethrin registration review docket (EPA-HQ-OPP-
2012-0414). This action is not open for public comment.
B. Docket Content
