Registration Review; Pesticide 

Dockets Opened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is opening the public 

comment period for several 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. This document 

announces the Agency’s intent not to 

open a registration review docket for 

bitertanol (case #8007), tridemorph 

(case #8009), and bethoxazin (case 

#5110). These pesticides do not 

currently have any actively registered 

pesticide products and are not, 

therefore, scheduled for review under 

the registration review program. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 26, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

identified by the docket identification 

(ID) number for the specific pesticide of 

interest provided in the table in Unit 

III.A., by one of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Do not submit electronically any 

information you consider to be 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. 

• Mail: OPP Docket, Environmental 

Protection Agency Docket Center (EPA/ 

DC), (28221T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001. 

• Hand Delivery: To make special 

arrangements for hand delivery or 

delivery of boxed information, please 

follow the instructions at http://www.

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 26, 2012 / Notices 59189 

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, 

farmworker, 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. 

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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 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.

EPA is also announcing that it will 

not be opening dockets for bitertanol 

(case #8007), tridemorph (case #8009), 

and bethoxazin (case #5110) because 

these pesticides are not included in any 

products actively registered under 

FIFRA section 3. The Agency will take 

separate actions to cancel any remaining 

FIFRA section 24(c) Special Local Needs 

registrations with these active 

ingredients and to propose revocation of 

any affected tolerances that are not 

supported for import purposes only. 

B. Docket Content 

1. Review dockets. The registration 

review dockets contain information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. The Agency 

may include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on these cases, including 

the active ingredients for each case, may 

be located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review/schedule.htm. 

Information on the Agency’s registration 

review program and its implementing 

regulation may be seen at http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. 

3. 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 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

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. 

As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 

registration review process; that is, until 

all actions required in the final decision 

on the registration review case have 

been completed.

Halofenozide; Notice of Receipt of 

Requests To Voluntarily Cancel 

Pesticide Registrations and Terminate 

All Uses 

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 by 

registrants to voluntarily cancel 

pesticide registrations of all products 

containing the pesticide halofenozide. 

The requests would cancel all technical 

and end-use registrations and delete all 

halofenozide uses. The requests would 

terminate the last halofenozide products 

registered for use in the United States. 

EPA intends to grant these requests at 

the close of the comment period for this 

announcement unless the Agency 

receives substantive comments within 

the comment period that would merit its 

further review of these requests, or 

unless the registrants withdraw their 

requests. If these requests are granted, 

any sale, distribution, or use of products 

listed in this notice will be permitted 

after the registrations have been 

cancelled only if such sale, distribution, 

or use is consistent with the terms as 

described in the final order. 

DATES: Unless a request is withdrawn by 

October 26, 2012 for registrations for 

which the registrant requested a waiver 

of the 180–day comment period, orders 

will be issued canceling these 

registrations. The Agency will consider 

withdrawal requests postmarked no 

later than October 26, 2012, whichever
