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.

SUMMARY:
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 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

16564
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 46 / Thursday, March 7, 2024 / Notices
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 proposed final decisions for all
pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit IV.
Through this program, 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.
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)). As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed interim or final
registration review decisions for the
pesticides in Table 1 of Unit IV.
IV. What action is this Agency taking?
Prior to completing the interim or
final registration review decisions in
Table 1 of Unit IV, EPA posted proposed
interim decisions or proposed
registration review decisions for these
chemicals and invited the public to
submit any comments or new
information, consistent with 40 CFR
155.58(a). EPA considered and
responded to any comments or
information received during these
public comment periods in the
respective interim decision or final
registration review decisions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this
notice announces the availability of
EPA’s interim or final registration
review decisions for the pesticides
shown in Table 1. The interim and final
registration review decisions are
supported by rationales included in the
docket established for each chemical.

Registration review case name and No.
Docket ID No.
Acetaminophen, Case Number 7610 .............
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Etofenprox, Case Number 7407 .....................
The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
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
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
Table 1 in Unit IV. Comments received
