II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed 
in the 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 a 
proposed interim or proposed decision for each of the pesticides listed 
in table 1 of unit I.
    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes documents 
related to the registration review case. Among other things, these 
documents describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk 
assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in 
table 1 of unit I, as well as the Agency's subsequent risk findings and 
consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed 
interim and proposed registration review decisions are supported by the 
rationales included in those documents.
    Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on proposed interim and 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.
    For additional background on the registration review program, see: 
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation.

III. What action is the Agency taking?

    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 for the pesticide of interest 
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 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

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.

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
