information about the docket available
at https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
II. Background
The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical
Safety for the 21st Century Act,
amending the Toxic Substances Control
Act of 1976, was signed into law on
June 22, 2016. The amendments have
enhanced EPA’s authority to evaluate
chemical substances.
Since the 2016 amendments to TSCA,
EPA has been working to make the
policy and process changes necessary to
align the New Chemicals program with
the requirements of the new law, as well
as to streamline and improve the review
process. In November 2017, EPA
released the ‘‘New Chemicals DecisionMaking Framework: Working Approach
to Making Determinations under section
5 of TSCA’’ (the ‘‘Working Approach’’)
for public comment, and subsequently
held a public meeting on implementing
the New Chemicals program under
amended TSCA on December 14, 2017.
After consideration of comments
received on the 2017 version and based
on additional implementation
experience, EPA is updating the
Working Approach. Later in December
2019, EPA will announce the
availability of the updated document
after the public meeting and will accept
comments on the updated document.
EPA expects the updated document will
provide further clarity and detail on
EPA’s approach and practices,
including: (1) EPA’s general guiding
principles and concepts for making
determinations on new chemical notices
submitted to EPA under section 5 of
TSCA; (2) the decision-making logic and
the key questions that EPA must
address; and (3) a discussion of how
EPA might apply the working approach
to reach one of the five new chemical
determinations allowable under the
statute.
Additional information on the TSCA
amendments can be found at https://
www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managingchemicals-under-tsca/frank-rlautenberg-chemical-safety-21stcentury-act.

II. Background
Registration review is the 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. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. As part of the
registration review process, the Agency
has completed preliminary workplans
for all pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. Through this program, the 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
The 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.

EPA is also announcing that it will
not be opening a docket, nor taking
public comments for meptyldinocap.
Meptyldinocap is a fungicide used on
grapes abroad, and a tolerance was
established in 2009 for residues of
meptyldinocap on grapes imported into
the United States. There are have been
no changes since the initial tolerance
decision and no changes to the tolerance
or tolerance definition are being
proposed. Meptyldinocap does not have
any products registered in the United
States under FIFRA section 3, therefore
meptyldinocap is not scheduled for
review under the registration review
program.
B. Docket Content
The registration review docket
contains information that the agency
may consider in the course of the
registration review. The agency may
include information from its files

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. Registration Reviews
A. What action is the agency taking?
A pesticide’s registration review
begins when the agency establishes a
docket for the pesticide’s registration
review case and opens the docket for
public review and comment. Pursuant
to 40 CFR 155.50, this notice announces
the availability of the EPA’s preliminary
work plans for the pesticides shown in
the following table and opens a 60-day
public comment period on the work
plans. This notice also announces the
availability of EPA’s draft ecological risk
assessment for the pesticide
pyrimethanil and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the draft risk
assessment.

EPA is also announcing that it will not be opening a docket, nor
taking public comments for meptyldinocap. Meptyldinocap is a fungicide
used on grapes abroad, and a tolerance was established in 2009 for
residues of meptyldinocap on grapes imported into the United States.
There are have been no changes since the initial tolerance decision and
no changes to the tolerance or tolerance definition are being proposed.
Meptyldinocap does not have any products registered in the United
States under FIFRA section 3, therefore meptyldinocap is not scheduled
for review under the registration review program.
B. Docket Content
The registration review docket contains information that the agency
may consider in the course of the registration review. The agency may
include information from its files including, but not limited to, the
following information:
An overview of the registration review case status.
A list of current product registrations and registrants.
Federal Register notices regarding any pending
registration actions.
Federal Register notices regarding current or pending
tolerances.
Risk assessments.
Bibliographies concerning current registrations.
Summaries of incident data.
Any other pertinent data or information.
Each docket contains a document summarizing what the agency
currently knows about the pesticide case and a preliminary work plan
for anticipated data and assessment needs. Additional documents provide
more detailed information. During this public comment period, the
agency is asking that interested persons identify any additional
information they believe the agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides. The agency identifies in each
docket the areas where public comment is specifically requested, though
comment in any area is welcome.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.50(b) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all preliminary registration
review work plans. This comment period is intended to provide an
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary changes to a pesticide's workplan. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and must be received by the
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.'' The EPA is not
[[Page 64066]]
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 final registration review work plan will explain the
