Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 42790 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 141 / Wednesday, July 23, 2014 / Notices comment. A Final Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the initial docket. The documents in the dockets describe EPA’s rationales for conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A., as well as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents. Following public comment, the Agency is planning to issue interim 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 timeframes, 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) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) 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 the Federal Register of August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45720) (FRL–8080–4) and became effective October 10, 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 (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)). 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:33 Jul 22, 2014 Jkt 232001 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. Background on the registration review program is provided at: https:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_ review. Links to 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 (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and 40 CFR part 155, subpart C, provide authority for this action. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Acetaminophen, Administrative practice and procedure, Clofentezine, Cyromazine, Fosthiazate, Hexythiazox, Lactofen, Macleaya extract, Pesticides and pests, Quizalofop, and Trinexapacethyl.
