On July 14, 2010 the Agency issued a product cancellation order (75 FR 40825; FRL–8833–4) for all clofencet product registrations. Due to the cancellation of all registered clofencet products in the United States, the Agency closed the registration review case for clofencet, pursuant to 40 CFR 155.42(c). This notice announces the availability of EPA’s Notice of Registration Review Case Closure for clofencet, case 0715.

In addition to the registration review case closure document, the registration review docket for clofencet also includes other relevant documents related to the registration review of this case. The Notice of Receipt of a Request to Voluntarily Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations was issued on April 28, 2010, and the public was invited to submit any comments or new information. During the 30–day comment period, no public comments were received which impacted the Agency’s decision to grant the cancellation request. Subsequently, on July 14, 2010, the Agency published the Cancellation Order for all clofencet product registrations in the Federal Register (75 FR 40825).

### 57784 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 22, 2010 / Notices

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 pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. Authority

EPA is initiating its reviews of the pesticides identified in this document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5). When used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in or on food. III. Registration Reviews A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide registrations identified in the table in this unit to assure that they continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration—that is, they can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. A pesticide’s registration review begins when the Agency establishes a docket for the pesticide’s registration review case and opens the docket for public review and comment. At present, EPA is opening registration review dockets for the cases identified in the following table. The docket opening for formetanate hydrochloride, which was planned for September 2010, has been postponed until December
2010.

EPA is also announcing that it will not be opening a docket or taking public comments for maneb, Mitin FF, or urea because these pesticides are not included in any products actively registered under FIFRA section 3. The last pesticide product registered in the US containing maneb was canceled on April 16, 2010 (75 FR 19967), and EPA proposed revocation of all maneb tolerances on May 26, 2010 (75 FR 29475). The last pesticide product containing Mitin FF was canceled on July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44240). The sole pesticide product registered in the United States containing urea was cancelled on September 3, 2010 (75 FR

Last, EPA is announcing the availability of an amended final work plan for the registration review of imidacloprid. The work plan was revised to incorporate changes to the data requirements for registration review. The revised work plan requires a 2–year field residue study analyzing 5 commodities for pesticide residues in nectar and pollen, rather than the repeat dose field study for pollinators that was originally required. The imidacloprid work plan may be found in registration review docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2008– 0844, which is available on-line at http://regulations.gov.
