Download as PDF 24116 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 100 / Thursday, May 25, 2017 / Notices Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice of availability, for interested parties to provide comments and input concerning the Agency’s draft human health and ecological risk assessments for the registration review of chlorethoxyfos and the draft human health risk assessments for registration review of diazinon and phosmet. Such comments and input could address, among other things, the Agency’s risk assessment methodologies and assumptions, as applied to a draft risk assessment. The Agency will consider all comments received during the public comment period and make changes, as appropriate, to a draft human health and/or ecological risk assessment. EPA may then issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments. In the Federal Register notice announcing the availability of the revised risk assessment, if the revised risk assessment indicates risks of concern, the Agency may provide a comment period for the public to submit suggestions for mitigating the risk identified in the risk assessment before developing a proposed registration review decision on chlorethoxyfos, diazinon, and phosmet. The Agency is re-issuing phosmet draft risk assessment in this Federal Register notice, initiating a 60-day comment period for phosmet. 1. Other related information. Additional information on the registration review status of the chemicals listed in Table 1 of Unit III, as well as information on the Agency’s registration review program and on its implementing regulation is available at https://www.epa.gov/pesticidereevaluation. 2. 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.
