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. 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

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.

AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability of EPA’s interim registration
review decisions for 2(Decylthio)ethanamine Hydrochloride,
DTEA–HCl; Aliphatic Alcohols, C1–C5;
Bentazon; Chlorfenapyr; Propoxur;
Propoxycarbazone-sodium; Sodium
Acifluorfen; and Thidiazuron. The
Agency is also amending the interim
registration review decision for Maleic
Hydrazide. Registration review is EPA’s

statutory standard for registration, that
is, that the pesticide can perform its
intended function without causing
unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. 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.
