ACTION:
Notice.
With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
several registration review cases.
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. For dicamba, EPA
is seeking comment on the preliminary
work plan, the ecological problem
formulation, and the human health draft
risk assessment. This document also
announces the Agency’s intent not to
open a registration review docket for
alachlor (case #: 0063) and propachlor
(case #: 0177). These pesticides do not
currently have any actively registered
pesticide products and are not,
therefore, scheduled for review under
the registration review program.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 13, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments
identified by the docket identification
(ID) number for the specific pesticide of
interest provided in the table in Unit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
I. General Information
II. Authority
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.
EPA is initiating its reviews 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.

final order for the amendments to
terminate uses, voluntarily requested by
the registrants and accepted by the
Agency, of the products listed in Table
1, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
a June 10, 2015 Federal Register Notice
of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 to amend
uses of these product registrations.
These are not the last products
containing these pesticides registered

10, 2015 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the
amendments to terminate uses, unless
the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30 and 180 day
comment periods that would merit its
further review of these requests, or
unless the registrants withdrew their
requests. The Agency did not receive
any comments on the notice. Further,
the registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested amendments to
terminate uses. Any distribution, sale,
or use of the products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks
provisions.
SUMMARY:
The cancellations are effective

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, 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 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 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 reviews 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.

For dicamba (case #: 0065), EPA is seeking comment on the
preliminary work plan, the ecological problem formulation, and the
human health draft risk assessment. EPA is also announcing that it will
not be opening a docket for alachlor (case #: 0063) and propachlor
(case #: 0177) because these pesticides are not included in any
products actively registered under FIFRA section 3 or 24(c). The Agency
will take separate action 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
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 Web site at https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation/registration-review-schedules.
Information on the Agency's registration review program and its
implementing regulation may be seen at https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation/registration-review-process.
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
[[Page 46075]]
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.
