III. EPA Decision Process
AGENCY:
EPA has reviewed the applications for
completeness and is now making the
applications available for public review
and comment as required by the
regulations. The off-cycle credit
applications submitted by the
manufacturer (with confidential
business information redacted) have
been placed in the public docket (see
ADDRESSES section above) and on EPA’s
website at https://www.epa.gov/vehicleand-engine-certification/complianceinformation-light-duty-greenhouse-gasghg-standards.
EPA is providing a 30-day comment
period on the applications for off-cycle
credits described in this notice, as
specified by the regulations. The
manufacturers may submit a written
rebuttal of comments for EPA’s
consideration, or may revise an
application in response to comments.
After reviewing any public comments
and any rebuttal of comments submitted
by manufacturers, EPA will make a final
decision regarding the credit requests.
EPA will make its decision available to
the public by placing a decision
document (or multiple decision
documents) in the docket and on EPA’s
website at the same manufacturerspecific pages shown above. While the
broad methodologies used by these
manufacturers could potentially be used
for other vehicles and by other
manufacturers, the vehicle specific data
needed to demonstrate the off-cycle
emissions reductions would likely be
different. In such cases, a new
application would be required,
including an opportunity for public
comment.

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
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,
E:\FR\FM\12NON1.SGM
12NON1
61056
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 12, 2019 / Notices
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
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
proposed interim registration review
decisions for the pesticides shown in
Table 1, and opens a 60-day public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2013,
NIOSH published Current Intelligence
Bulletin (CIB) 66—Derivation of
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health
(IDLH) Values [https://www.cdc.gov/
niosh/docs/2014-100/pdfs/2014100.pdf] [NIOSH 2013]. The information
presented in this CIB represents the
most recent update of the scientific
rationale and the methodology (hereby
referred to as the IDLH methodology)
used to derive IDLH values. Since the
establishment of the IDLH values in the
1970s, NIOSH has continued to review
available scientific data to improve the
protocol used to derive acute exposure
guidelines, in addition to the chemicalspecific IDLH values.
IDLH values are based on health
effects considerations determined
through a critical assessment of the
toxicology and human health effects
data. This approach ensures that the
IDLH values reflect an airborne
concentration of a substance that
represents a high-risk situation that may
endanger workers’ lives or health.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61057
The primary steps applied in the
establishment of an IDLH value include
the following:
1. Critical review of human and
animal toxicity data to identify
potentially relevant studies and
characterize the various lines of
evidence that can support the derivation
of the IDLH value;
2. Determination of a chemical’s mode
of action (MOA) or description of how
a chemical exerts its toxic effects;
3. Application of duration
adjustments (time scaling) to determine
30-minute-equivalent exposure
concentrations and the conduct of other
dosimetry adjustments, as needed;
4. Experimental or other data to
establish a point of departure (POD)
such as lethal concentrations (e.g.,
LC50), lowest observed adverse effect
level (LOAEL), or no observed adverse
effect level (NOAEL);
5. Selection and application of an
uncertainty factor (UF) for POD or
critical adverse effect concentration,
identified from the available studies to
account for issues associated with
interspecies and intraspecies
differences, severity of the observed
effects, data quality, or data
insufficiencies; and
6. Development of the final
recommendation for the IDLH value
from the various alternative lines of
evidence, with use of a weight-ofevidence approach to all of the data.
NIOSH seeks to obtain materials,
including published and unpublished
reports and research findings, to
evaluate the possible acute health risks
of occupational exposure to the
following six chemicals:
1. Allyl Alcohol (CAS# 107–18–6)
2. Bromine Chloride (CAS# 13863–41–
7)
3. Hydrogen Bromide (CAS# 10035–10–
6)
4. Hydrogen Iodide (CAS# 10034–85–2)
5. Lewisite (a chemical warfare agent)
(CAS#s 541–25–3, 40334–69–8,
40334–70–1)
6. Propylene Imine (CAS# 75–55–8)
Materials also include reports of acute
animal toxicity studies, acute human
toxicology studies, mode of action
studies, and other information about a
chemical’s toxic effects such as studies
on sensory or respiratory irritation,
nervous system effects (e.g., dizziness,
central nervous system excitability,
autonomic effects, muscle tone/
equilibrium effects, sensorimotor
reactivity, nervous system
histopathology), metabolic toxicants,
target organ toxicants, gastrointestinal
effects, cardiovascular changes, and
asphyxiants.

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 tables in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
[[Page 61057]]
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 Table 1 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 Tables 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.
Background on the registration review program is provided at:
