Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 21 / Wednesday, February 1, 2023 / Notices
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
Chemical Review Manager for the
pesticide of interest identified in Table
1 in Unit IV.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information on a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to 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
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at:
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
commenting-epa-dockets.
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 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
or final decisions for all pesticides listed
in Table 1 in Unit IV. Through this
program, EPA is ensuring that each
6723
pesticide’s registration is based on
current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment.
III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in the
Table 1 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 or final registration
review decisions for the pesticides
shown in Table 1 and opens a 60-day
public comment period on the proposed
interim and proposed final registration
review decisions.

The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum

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

The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in Table 1 in Unit IV, as well as the Agency's
subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk mitigation
measures. These proposed interim and proposed final 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 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 decision. All comments should be
[[Page 6724]]
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 or final registration review decision will
explain the effect that any comments had on the decision and provide
the Agency's response to significant comments.
