II. Background
III. Authority
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 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,
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
interim registration review decisions for
the pesticides shown in the following
table. The interim registration review
