The registration review final decisions 

for these cases are dependent on the 

assessments of listed species under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA), 

determinations on the potential for 

endocrine disruption, and/or 

assessments of exposure and risk to 

pollinators. 

D-Limonene (Proposed Interim 

Decision). D-limonene is a naturally 

occurring chemical obtained from the 

rind of citrus fruits. It is registered as an 

active ingredient for use as an acaricide, 

insecticide, herbicide, and insect 

repellent, and is an inert ingredient in 

other products providing scent and 

flavoring. D-limonene is currently 

registered for use in/on terrestrial food 

(citrus, pome fruits, grapes), feed crops, 

non-food crops (ornamentals, Christmas 

trees, fencerows, recreational areas, 

wood protection) and for residential 

uses. EPA published draft registration 

review human health and ecological risk 

assessments in December 2014. For the 

human health assessment, no data 

deficiencies were identified in either the 

toxicity or exposure databases and the 

Agency concluded that d-limonene does 

not pose human health risks. For the 

ecological risk assessment, the Agency 

found that, due to its high volatility, low 

usage, and low toxicity to most taxa, dlimonene is expected to have negligible 

effects to most taxa. The Agency is 

proposing modifications to several 

labels to reduce potential risks to dlimonene for terrestrial plants and 

mammals. 

Hydrogen cyanamide (Proposed 

Interim Decision). Hydrogen cyanamide 

is a plant growth regulator used to 

promote uniform bud break in orchard 

fruit trees and vines, and does not have 

any residential uses. It is the only 

registered plant growth regulator 

available to induce uniform bud break 

in U.S. fruit production, and there are 

significant economic benefits associated 

with its use in areas where the critical 

number of chilling hours needed for bud 

break does not occur or is not 

consistent. The Agency conducted a 

comprehensive human health risk 

assessment and determined that there 

are potential risks of concern for 

occupational handlers, as well as spray 

drift concerns for bystanders. However, 

the occupational risks identified can be 

mitigated through modifications to 

product labels, and spray drift concerns 

are already addressed by current labels. 

The Agency also conducted an 

ecological risk assessment and 

determined that there are potential risks 

of concern for terrestrial animals, but 

current use practices and label 

mitigation addresses many of these 

concerns. 

2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 

5,6-dihydro-2- methyl- (Combined 

Preliminary Work Plan and Proposed 

Interim Decision). There is one EPAregistered product containing 2HCyclopent(d)isothiazol-3(4H)-one, 5,6- 

dihydro-2- methyl-, also known as MTI, 

as an active ingredient for material 

preservation of imaging products. The 

Agency does not anticipate the need to 

call-in any data in support of MTI’s 

registration review. Additionally, the 

Agency does not anticipate conducting 

human health or environmental risk 

assessments due to the lack of exposure 

concerns for MTI’s registered use. Based 

on the lack of potential exposure, the 

Agency is proposing to make a No 

Effects determination for listed species 

under the ESA. EPA is announcing the 

availability for public comment on the 

combined preliminary work plan and 

proposed interim registration review 

decision for MTI. This proposed interim 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
60674 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 194 / Wednesday, October 7, 2015 / Notices 

decision does not cover the EDSP 

component of this registration review 

case. The Agency’s final registration 

review decision is dependent upon the 

evaluation of potential endocrine 

disruptor risk. 

Aquashade (Combined Preliminary 

Work Plan, Draft Risk Assessments and 

Proposed Interim Decision). Aquashade 

is as an aquatic herbicide for which the 

mode of action is light filtration. It is 

primarily used in small water bodies 

such as ornamental ponds and small 

lakes, fountains and other landscaping 

water features, swimming holes, 

aquaculture ponds, and animal watering 

holes. The Agency conducted an 

ecological risk assessment and 

determined there are no risks of concern 

for any assessed taxa. The Agency also 

conducted a human health risk 

assessment and there were no dietary, 

residential, or occupational risks of 

concern. The Agency is not proposing 

any risk mitigation or additional data 

requirements for Aquashade at this 

time. 

Bacillus thuringiensis Plantincorporated Protectants in Corn 

(Combined Preliminary Work Plan and 

Proposed Interim Decision). Plantincorporated protectants (PIPs) derived 

from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have 

been genetically engineered into corn 

hybrids to provide insecticidal 

protection against certain pests. One 

class (case 6501) of Bt corn PIPs targets 

lepidopteran stalk-boring and earfeeding insects (e.g., European corn 

borer, corn earworm, and southwestern 

corn borer); a second class (case 6502) 

targets coleopteran root-feeding insects 

(corn rootworm). EPA has conducted 

extensive risk assessments addressing 

human health (including food safety), 

non-target wildlife, environmental fate, 

gene flow, and insect resistance 

management for all registered products. 

No human health risks of concern or 

risks of concern to non-listed species 

(including honey bees and Monarch 

butterflies) have been identified. In 

addition, the Agency is proposing to 

make No Effects determinations under 

the ESA for all listed species. EPA will 

update these assessments for the final 

registration review. No risk mitigation 

measures for human health or ecological 

effects are included in the proposed 

interim decision. 

The registration review docket for a 

pesticide includes earlier documents 

related to the registration review of the 

case. For example, the review typically 

opens with the availability of a 

Summary Document, containing a 

Preliminary Work Plan, for public 

comment. A Final Work Plan typically 

is placed in the docket following public 

comment on the initial docket. 

Following a period for public comment 

on the proposed interim registration 

review decisions for products 

containing the affected active 

ingredients, the Agency will issue 

interim registration review decisions for 

products containing the affected active 

ingredients. 

The registration review program is 

being conducted under congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public. 

Section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

(7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) required EPA to 

establish by regulation procedures for 

reviewing pesticide registrations, 

originally with a goal of reviewing each 

pesticide’s registration every 15 years to 

ensure that a pesticide continues to 

meet the FIFRA standard for 

registration. The Agency’s final rule to 

implement this program was issued in 

the Federal Register of August 9, 2006 

(71 FR 45720) (FRL–8080–4) and 

became effective in October 2006, and 

appears at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 

The Pesticide Registration Improvement 

Act of 2003 (PRIA) was amended and 

extended in September 2007. FIFRA, as 

amended by PRIA in 2007, requires EPA 

to complete registration review 

decisions by October 1, 2022, for all 

pesticides registered as of October 1, 

2007. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

proposed interim 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 interim decisions. All 

comments should be submitted using 

the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be 

received by EPA on or before the closing 

date. These comments will become part 

of the docket for the pesticides included 

in the table in Unit II. Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

The Agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a ‘‘Response to 

Comments Memorandum’’ in the docket 

for each of the pesticides included in 

the table in Unit II. The interim 

registration review decision will explain 

the effect that any comments had on the 

decision and provide the Agency’s 

response to significant comments, as 

needed. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http://

Notice of Receipt of Requests for 

Amendments To Terminate Uses in 

Certain Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing 

a notice of receipt of request for 

amendments by registrants to terminate 

uses in certain pesticide registrations. 

FIFRA provides that a registrant of a 

pesticide product may at any time 

request that any of its pesticide 

registrations be amended to terminate 

one or more uses. FIFRA further 

provides that, before acting on the 

request, EPA must publish a notice of 

receipt of any request in the Federal 

Register. 

DATES: Unless a request is withdrawn by 

November 6, 2015 for registrations for 

which the registrant requested a waiver 

of the 180-day comment period, EPA 

expects to issue orders terminating these 

uses. The Agency will consider 

withdrawal requests postmarked no 

later than November 6, 2015. Comments 

must be received on or before November 

6, 2015, for those registrations where the 

180-day comment period has been 

waived.
