Benefits of Neonicotinoid Seed 

Treatments to Soybean Production; 

Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 2014 / Notices 63119 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s Benefits of 

Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments to 

Soybean Production document, and 

opens a public comment period on that 

document. The Agency has conducted 

this assessment as part of its ongoing reevaluation of clothianidin, 

imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam under 

the registration review program. 

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 considers both potential risks and 

benefits of pesticides. This assessment 

examines the use of clothianidin, 

imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam seed 

treatments in terms of the extent of use 

and the pests targeted in order to 

characterize overall benefits to soybean 

production nationwide. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 22, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

instructions for submitting comments. 

Do not submit electronically any

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action 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 

pesticide specific contact person. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to 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 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 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

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. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

As directed by section 3(g) of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is 

reviewing the pesticide registrations for 

clothianidin, imidacloprid, and 

thiamethoxam to ensure that they 

continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard 

for registration—that is, that 

clothianidin, imidacloprid, and 

thiamethoxam can still be used without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. Clothianidin, 

imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam are 

systemic neonicotinoid nitroguanidine 

insecticides registered for a variety of 

uses including on food-crops, non-food 

crops, ornamentals, seed treatments, 

structures (indoor and outdoor), and 

turf. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is 

providing an opportunity, through this 

notice of availability, for interested 

parties to provide comments and input 

concerning the Agency’s assessment of 

benefits of neonicotinoid seed 

treatments to soybean production. Such 

comments and input could address, 

among other things, the Agency’s 

assessment methodologies and 

assumptions, as applied to this 

assessment. The Agency will consider 

all comments received during the public 

comment period. 

1. Other related information. 

Additional information on clothianidin, 

imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam is 

available on the Pesticide Registration 

Review Status Web page, http://www.

epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/

reg_review_status.htm. Information on 

the Agency’s registration review 

program and its implementing 

regulation is available at http://www2.

epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation. 

2. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

63120 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 2014 / Notices 

information submitted as an

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review.
