II. Background
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. As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed proposed interim
E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM
24MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 101 / Thursday, May 24, 2018 / Notices
decisions for all pesticides listed in the
Table in Unit IV. 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.
III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in the
Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 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
24109
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
IV. What action is the Agency taking?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice
announces the availability of EPA’s

The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets
describe EPA’s rationales for conducting
additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides
included in the table in Unit IV, as well
as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings
and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed
interim registration review decisions are
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
supported by the rationales included in
those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in the table in Unit
IV.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed interim registration review
decisions. This comment period is
intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to
the proposed interim decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
PO 00000
Frm 00029

received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included
in the Table in Unit IV. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The interim registration review
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the interim decision
and provide the Agency’s response to
significant comments.

B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a
chemical substance may be either an
‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a
‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA’s
TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances
(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new
chemical substance,’’ while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA
Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing
chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section
3(11).) For more information about the
TSCA Inventory go to: https://
www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
Any person who intends to
manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose, or to manufacture
or process a chemical substance in a
non-exempt manner for a use that EPA
has determined is a significant new use,
is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or
SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating
the activity. EPA will review the notice,
make a risk determination on the
chemical substance or significant new
use, and take appropriate action as
described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA
to allow persons, upon application and
under appropriate restrictions, to
manufacture or process a new chemical
substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule
(SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes,
upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce,
use, and disposal of the chemical will
not present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment.
This is referred to as a test marketing
exemption, or TME. For more
information about the requirements
applicable to a new chemical go to:
https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and
EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain
information, including notice of receipt
of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including
amended notices and test information);
an exemption application under 40 CFR
part 725 (biotech exemption); an
application for a TME, both pending
and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic
status report on the new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA
review or have recently concluded
review.

The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the table in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in the table in
Unit IV.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the proposed interim decision. All comments
should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will
become part of the docket for the pesticides included in the Table in
Unit IV. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and may provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The interim registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the interim decision and provide the
Agency's response to significant comments.
