C. How can I get copies of this
document and other related
information?
A copy of the draft PR Notice is
available in the docket, identified by
docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2020–
0260, at https://www.regulations.gov.
II. What guidance does this PR Notice
provide?
This draft PR Notice provides
guidance to the registrant concerning
the proposal to update and replace the
Pesticide Registration Notice (PRN)
2002–1, which identifies pests of
significant public health importance.
The list was first published in 2002,
fulfilling the requirement of FIFRA
section 28(d) to identify pests of
significant public health importance
(see the original list: https://
www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/
2014-04/documents/pr2002-1.pdf). EPA,
HHS and USDA believe that pests,
diseases and control techniques have
evolved since 2002. The list provides an
interagency baseline for the federal
government and the public to begin any
discussions on government regulation
and control of disease or disease
vectors. EPA uses the list of pests of
significant public health importance to
develop and implement programs to
improve and facilitate the safe and
necessary use of chemical, biological
and other methods to control pests of
public health importance. When a pest
is added to this list, it reflects a
determination that the pest is a pest of
significant public health importance
and the list serves as a public reference
to that effect. The publication of the
updated list does not affect the
regulatory status of any registration or
application for registration of any
pesticide product, therefore, registrants
do not need to take any action.
EPA requests comment on whether
there are any pests, such as the Asian
giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) or the
Turkestan cockroach (Blatta lateralis),
that should be added to this list to
address emergent pest issues.
III. Do PR Notices contain binding
requirements?
The PR Notice discussed in this
document is intended to provide
guidance to EPA personnel and
decisionmakers and to pesticide
registrants. While the requirements in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
the statutes and Agency regulations are
binding on EPA and the applicants, this
PR Notice is not binding on either EPA
or pesticide registrants, and EPA may
depart from the guidance where
circumstances warrant and without
prior notice. Likewise, pesticide
registrants may assert that the guidance
is not appropriate generally or not
applicable to a specific pesticide or
situation.
