B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for the EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to the 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 the 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

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
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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 3, 2021 / Notices
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.

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
