Registration Review; Biopesticide Dockets Opened for Review and Comment
EPA has established registration review docket for the pesticide listed in the table in Unit III.A.With this document, EPA is opening the public comment period for these registration reviews. 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. Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the public in understanding the types of information and issues that the Agency may consider during the course of registration reviews. 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.

Alkyl trimethylenediamines, Bioban P-1487, Copper 8-quinolinolate, Napthenate Salts, Octhilinone, and the Trimethoxysilyl Quaternary Ammonium Chloride Compounds Reregistration Eligibility Decisions; Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration Eligibility Decisions (REDs) for the pesticides Alkyl trimethylenediamines (ATMDs), bioban P-1487, copper 8- quinolinolate, napthenate salts, octhilinone, and the trimethoxysilyl quaternary ammonium chloride compounds and opens a public comment period on these documents. The Agency's risk assessments and other related documents also are available in the dockets for these pesticides. The ATMDs are used as microbicides, bacteriocides, and molluscides. Bioban P-1487 is used as a materials preservative and as a microbial growth inhibitor of slime-forming fungi and bacteria. Copper 8-quinolinolate is used as an algaecide, bactericide and fungicide. The naphthenate salts are used as fungicides, microbiocides/microbiostats, and algaecides. Octhilinone is used as an industrial mildewcide, microbiocide, fungicide and bacteriocide. The quaternary ammonium chloride compounds are used as bacteriastat, fungistat, antimicrobial and algaestat. EPA has reviewed ATMD, bioban P-1487, copper 8-quinolinolate, napthenate salts, octhilinone, and the trimethoxysilyl quaternary ammonium chloride compounds through the public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.
