ACTION: Notice.
I. General Information
With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
several registration reviews. Registration
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.
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 on 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 preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
comments.html.
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 pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. Authority
EPA is initiating its review of the
pesticides identified in this document
pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) 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
1183
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) (7 U.S.C. 136a(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
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.

On July 10, 2015, we received a SIP
revision from the TCEQ. This revision
consisted of an RFP SIP for the DFW
ozone nonattainment area. This
submission established MVEBs for the
DFW area for the year 2017. The MVEB
is the amount of emissions allowed in
the state implementation plan for onroad motor vehicles; it establishes an
emissions ceiling for the regional
transportation network. The MVEBs are
provided in Table 1:

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
EPA is notifying the public
that it has found that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (DFW)
Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision,
submitted on July 10, 2015 by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) are adequate for transportation
conformity purposes. As a result of
EPA’s finding, the DFW area must use
these budgets for future conformity
determinations.
DATES: These budgets are effective
January 26, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
essential information in this notice will
be available at EPA’s conformity Web
site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA. The word
‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the mobile source
emissions budget for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and the mobile
source emissions budget for nitrogen
oxides (NOX).

On August 25, 2015, EPA posted the
availability of the DFW area MVEBs on
EPA’s Web site for the purpose of
soliciting public comments, as part of
the adequacy process. The comment
period closed on September 24, 2015,
and we received no comments.
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that EPA has
already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter
to TCEQ on December 10, 2015, finding
that the MVEBs in the DFW RFP SIP,
submitted on July 10, 2015 are adequate
and must be used for transportation
conformity determinations in the DFW
area. This finding has also been
announced on EPA’s conformity Web
site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
EPA’s conformity rule, 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93,
requires that transportation plans,
programs and projects conform to state
air quality implementation plans and
establishes the criteria and procedures
for determining whether or not they do
so. Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay
timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
The criteria by which EPA determines
whether a SIP’s MVEB is adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We
have also described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final
rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation

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 pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.
II. Authority
EPA is initiating its review of the pesticides identified in this
document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) 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) (7 U.S.C. 136a(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 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.

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
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.
[[Page 1184]]
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 review 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 Web site 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.
