SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
I. General Information
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
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
agency may consider during registration
reviews. As part of the registration
review process, the Agency has
completed preliminary workplans for all
pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit IV.
EPA initiates a registration review by
establishing a public docket for a
pesticide registration review case. The
docket contains a Preliminary Work
Plan (PWP) summarizing information
EPA has on the pesticide and the
anticipated path forward. 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.
A. Does this action apply to me?
This notice 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 identified in
Table 1 of Unit IV.
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
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.

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

II. Background
III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in Table
1 of Unit I pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C.
136a(g)) and the Procedural Regulations
for Registration Review at 40 CFR part
155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g)
provides, among other things, that
pesticide registrations are to be
reviewed every 15 years. Consistent
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final
registration review decision, EPA will
ultimately determine whether a
pesticide continues to meet the
registration standard in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
IV. Registration Review
A. What action is the Agency taking?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50(b), this
notice announces the availability of the
EPA’s work plans and registration

B. Docket Content
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50, EPA
initiates a registration review by
establishing a public docket for a
pesticide registration review case.
Registration review dockets contain
information that will assist the public in
understanding the types of information
and issues that the Agency has consider
during registration review. Consistent
with 40 CFR 155.50(a), these dockets
may include information from the
Agency’s files including, but not limited
to, an overview of the registration
review case status, a list of current
product registrations and registrants,
any Federal Register notices regarding
any pending registration actions, any
Federal Register notices regarding
current or pending tolerances, risk
assessments, bibliographies concerning
current registrations, summaries of
incident data, and any other pertinent
data or information. EPA includes in
these dockets a Preliminary Work Plan
(PWP), and in some cases a continuing
work plan (CWP), summarizing
information EPA has on the pesticide
and the anticipated path forward.
Consistent with 40 CFR 155.50(b),
EPA provides for at least a 60-day
public comment period on work plans
and registration review dockets. This
comment period is intended to provide
an opportunity for public input and a
mechanism for initiating any necessary
changes to a pesticide’s workplan.
During this public comment period, the
Agency is asking that interested persons
identify any additional information they
believe the agency should consider
during the registration reviews of these
pesticides. The Agency identifies in
each docket the areas where public
comment is specifically requested,
though comment in any area is
welcome.
All comments should be submitted
using the methods in ADDRESSES and
must be received by the EPA on or
before the closing date. These comments
will become part of the docket for the
pesticides included in Table 1 of Unit
I. The Agency will consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may respond to comments in a
‘‘Response to Comments Memorandum’’
in the docket or the Final Work Plan
(FWP), as appropriate.

B. Docket Content
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50, EPA initiates a registration review by
establishing a public docket for a pesticide registration review case.
Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the

Agency has consider during registration review. Consistent with 40 CFR
155.50(a), these dockets may include information from the Agency's
files including, but not limited to, an overview of the registration
review case status, a list of current product registrations and
registrants, any Federal Register notices regarding any pending
registration actions, any Federal Register notices regarding current or
pending tolerances, risk assessments, bibliographies concerning current
registrations, summaries of incident data, and any other pertinent data
or information. EPA includes in these dockets a Preliminary Work Plan
(PWP), and in some cases a continuing work plan (CWP), summarizing
information EPA has on the pesticide and the anticipated path forward.
Consistent with 40 CFR 155.50(b), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on work plans and registration review
dockets. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary changes to a
pesticide's workplan. During this public comment period, the Agency is
asking that interested persons identify any additional information they
believe the agency should consider during the registration reviews of
these pesticides. The Agency identifies in each docket the areas where
public comment is specifically requested, though comment in any area is
welcome.
All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and
must be received by the EPA on or before the closing date. These
comments will become part of the docket for the pesticides included in
Table 1 of Unit I. The Agency will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may respond to comments in a ``Response to
Comments Memorandum'' in the docket or the Final Work Plan (FWP), as
appropriate.
