notice and so informs you in writing.
After the suspension becomes final
and effective, the registrants subject to
this notice, including all supplemental
registrants of products listed in Table 1
of Unit II., may not legally distribute,
sell, use, offer for sale, hold for sale,
ship, deliver for shipment, or receive

products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. in
any manner which would have been
unlawful prior to the suspension.
If the registrations for your products,
listed in Table 1 of Unit II., are currently
suspended as a result of failure to
comply with another FIFRA section

registered distributors of a basic
registered product that this suspension
action also applies to their
supplementary registered products. The
basic registrant may be held liable for
violations committed by their
distributors.

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

pesticide of interest identified in the
Table in Unit IV.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?

including its effects on human health
and the environment.
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,
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
the table below and opens a 60-day

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
mitigation measures. These proposed

those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit

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

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

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (iii) enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (iv) minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. EPA will
consider the comments received and
amend the ICR as appropriate. The final
ICR package will then be submitted to
OMB for review and approval. At that
time, EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional

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 the table below and opens a 60-day public comment
period on the proposed interim registration review decisions.

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
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
[[Page 54574]]
comments had on the interim decision and provide the Agency's response
to significant comments.
