Registration Review Final Decisions; 

Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s final registration 

review decisions for the pesticides 

propionic acid and salts, case no. 4078, 

urea sulfate, case no. 7213, 

methidathion, case no. 0034, and 

methyl parathion, case no. 0153. 

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, that the pesticide 

can perform its intended function 

without causing unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. 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.

II. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this 

notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decisions 

for the pesticides in the table below— 

propionic acid and salts, case 4078, urea 

sulfate, case no. 7213, methidathion, 

case no. 0034, and methyl parathion, 

case no. 0153. The active ingredient 

propionic acid is a fungicide and 

bactericide that is used to control fungi 

and bacteria in stored hay and grains, 

inhibit bacterial growth in drinking 

water for livestock and poultry, control 

mold and fungi in poultry litter and 

animal feed, and sanitize pre-cleaned 

food contact surfaces. Propionic acid is 

also used as an inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations. Propionic acid 

and its salts, sodium and calcium 

propionates, are approved by the Food 

and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 

United States as Generally Recognized 

As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. 

Propionic acid and salts, are exempt 

from the requirement of a tolerance. 

Urea sulfate is used as a desiccant on 

cotton. No food crop uses remain and all 

tolerances for urea sulfate have been 

deleted. Methidathion is a nonsystemic, organophosphate (OP) used as 

an insecticide/acaricide on a wide 

variety of terrestrial food and feed crops 

and terrestrial non-food crops. Methyl 

parathion is a restricted use OP 

insecticide and acaricide registered for 

use on a variety of food and feed crops, 

with the majority of use occurring on 

cotton, corn, and rice.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered propionic acid and salts, 

urea sulfate, methidathion, and methyl 

parathion in light of the FIFRA standard 

for registration. The propionic acid and 

salts, urea sulfate, methidathion, and 

methyl parathion Final Decision 

documents in the docket describes the 

Agency’s rationale for issuing a 

registration review final decision for 

these pesticides. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision documents, the 

registration review docket for propionic 

acid and salts, urea sulfate, 

methidathion and methyl parathion also

78244 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 15, 2010 / Notices 

includes other relevant documents 

related to the registration review of 

these cases. The proposed registration 

review decisions were posted to the 

docket and the public was invited to 

submit any comments or new 

information. During the 60-day 

comment period, the public comments 

received were not substantive and did 

not affect the Agency’s final decisions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the 

registration review case docket for 

propionic acid and salts, urea sulfate, 

methidathion, and methyl parathion 

will remain open until all actions 

required in the final decisions have 

been completed.

program is provided at: http://

111–260 (Accessibility Act), for the 

purpose of determining the most 

effective and efficient technologies and 

methods by which to enable access to 

Next Generation 911 emergency services

service providers; six (6) represent 

interests of State and local emergency 

responders and emergency subject 

matter technologies; three (3) represent 

venders, developers and manufacturers

three (3) represent Federal agencies; and 

two (2) represent industry organizations. 

The EAAC’s membership is designed to 

be representative of the Commission’s 

many constituencies, and the diversity 

achieved ensures a balance among 

individuals with disabilities and other
