ACTION: Notice; re-opening of comment
period.
AGENCY:
In the Federal Register of
November 29, 2016, EPA announced the
availability of and solicited public
comment on the registration review
draft risk assessments for a number of
pesticide chemicals, including several
pyrethroid insecticides listed in Table 1
of Unit II. and the herbicide linuron
listed in Table 2 of Unit II. This
document re-opens the comment period
on the ecological risk assessment for the
pyrethroid chemicals for 60 days; and
re-opens the comment period on the
human health and ecological risk
assessments for the chemical linuron for
30 days. EPA is re-opening these
comment periods in response to a
number of extension requests received
from various stakeholders who have
cited reasons including the difficulty of
commenting due to the length, quantity,
SUMMARY:
and complexity of the assessments for
these particular chemicals, in addition
to resource and time constraints.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 7, 2017 for the ecological
risk assessment for the pyrethroid
chemicals listed in Table 1 of Unit II.;
and on or before June 7, 2017 for the
human health and ecological risk
assessments for the chemical linuron
listed in Table 2 of Unit II.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by the relevant chemicalspecific docket identification (ID)
number(s) from Table 1 and Table 2 of
Unit II., using the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the online instructions for
submitting comments. Do not submit
electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What is the EPA Authority for this
action?
EPA is conducting its registration
review of these chemicals pursuant to

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
and the Procedural Regulations for
Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155,
subpart C.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This document re-opens the public
comment periods established for
linuron and several pyrethroids in the
Federal Register document of November
29, 2016 (81 FR 85952) (FRL–9953–53).
In that Federal Register document, EPA
announced the availability of and
sought public comment on the
registration review draft risk

and the herbicide linuron listed in Table 2 of Unit II. This document
re-opens the comment period on the ecological risk assessment for the
pyrethroid chemicals for 60 days; and re-opens the comment period on
the human health and ecological risk assessments for the chemical
linuron for 30 days. EPA is re-opening these comment periods in

ecological risk assessment for the pyrethroid chemicals listed in Table
1 of Unit II.; and on or before June 7, 2017 for the human health and
ecological risk assessments for the chemical linuron listed in Table 2
of Unit II.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by the relevant chemical-
specific docket identification (ID) number(s) from Table 1 and Table 2
of Unit II., using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
