II. Background
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)).
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
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

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.

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.

III. What should I consider as I prepare a comment for EPA?
This notice is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including
[[Page 85533]]
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 I. In submitting a comment to EPA, please consider the
following:
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. 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.
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.
