Registration Review; Draft Human Health and/or Ecological Risk Assessments for Several Pesticides; Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of EPA's draft human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the registration review of asulam, chloroxylenol, dichlobenil, EPTC, etofenprox, gamma- and lambda-cyhalothrin, imidacloprid, indoxacarb, metribuzin, nitrapyrin, oxamyl, pendimethalin, permethrin, prometryn, pyrethrins, tau- fluvalinate, and trifloxystrobin.

As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or ecological risk assessments for all pesticides listed in the Table in Unit III. After reviewing comments received during the public comment period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may request public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed registration review decision for the pesticides listed in the Table in Unit III. 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.

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations; Correction
EPA issued notices in the Federal Register of June 8, 2016, and July 5, 2017, concerning receipt of requests to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations and its follow-up product cancellation order. In the notice of July 5, 2017, EPA inadvertently listed the pesticide products Dithiopyr 0.13% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883- 207), Dithiopyr 0.25% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-208), Dithiopyr 0.172% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-209), Dithiopyr 0.107% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-210), Dithiopyr 0.06% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-211), Dithiopyr 0.086% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-212), Dithiopyr 0.1% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-213), Dithiopyr Concentrate for Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883- 268) and Quali-Pro Dithiopyr 2L (EPA Reg. No. 53883-311). The registrant had responded with a letter to the Office of Pesticide Programs dated June 10, 2016 requesting that the nine products not be cancelled. The letter was never forwarded to be included in the public docket for this Federal Register notice so the products were listed in the notice of July 5, 2017, in error. Therefore, EPA is not cancelling the pesticide products Dithiopyr 0.13% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-207), Dithiopyr 0.25% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-208), Dithiopyr 0.172% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-209), Dithiopyr 0.107% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-210), Dithiopyr 0.06% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-211), Dithiopyr 0.086% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-212), Dithiopyr 0.1% Plus Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-213), Dithiopyr Concentrate for Fertilizer (EPA Reg. No. 53883-268) and Quali-Pro Dithiopyr 2L (EPA Reg. No. 53883-311). This document removes the cancellation order for EPA Reg. Numbers 53883-207, 53883-208, 53883-209, 53883-210, 53883-211, 53883-212, 53883-213, EPA Reg. No. 53883-268 and 53883-311 listed in the July 5, 2017, Federal Register notice.

Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is entitled to reimbursement of the sickness benefits paid to a railroad employee if the employee receives a sum or damages for the same infirmity for which the benefits are paid. Section 2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to reimburse the RRB for days in which salary, wages, pay for time lost or other remuneration is later determined to be payable. Reimbursements under section 2(f) generally result from the award of pay for time lost or the payment of guaranteed wages.
