SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public
in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health, farm
worker, and agricultural advocates; the
chemical industry; pesticide users; and
members of the public interested in the
sale, distribution, or use of pesticides.
Since others also may be interested, the
Agency has not attempted to describe all
the specific entities that may be affected
by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the
Chemical Review Manager identified in
the Table in Unit IV.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
comments.html.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
PO 00000
Frm 00045

enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
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 comprehensive
draft human health and/or ecological
risk assessments for all pesticides listed
in the Table in Unit IV. 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 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
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
