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. As part of 

the registration review process, the 

Agency has completed draft risk 

assessments for each of the subject 

chemicals and is making them available 

for public comment. After reviewing 

comments received during the public 

comment period, EPA will issue a 

revised risk assessment, if appropriate, 

explain any changes to the draft risk 

assessment, and respond to comments 

and may request public input on risk 

mitigation. 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.

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 

Chemical Review Manager identified in 

the table in Unit III. for the pesticide of 

interest. 

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 and/or 

environmental effects from exposure to 

the pesticides discussed in this 

document, compared to the general 

population. 

II. Authority 

EPA is conducting its registration 

review 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 

What action is the agency taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the pesticide 

registrations for cyromazine, silica 

silicates, glufosinate ammonium, DSS, 

and UDA to ensure that they continue 

to satisfy the FIFRA standard for 

registration—that is, that these 

pesticides can still be used without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. 

At this stage in the registration review 

process, consistent with the notice 

published in the Federal Register of 

August 17, 2012, (77 FR 49792) (FRL– 

9356–5), jointly developed with the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS) (‘‘the Services’’) to 

enhance opportunities for stakeholder 

input during pesticide registration 

reviews and endangered species 

consultations, draft environmental risk 

assessments include a screening-level 

evaluation of the potential risks to 

Federally endangered and threatened 

species (hereafter referred to as ‘‘listed 

species’’). EPA intends to complete a 

refined assessment of potential risks to 

individual listed species, as needed. 

The refined listed species assessments 

will be based on the recommendations 

of the National Research Council (NRC), 

which has been tasked with providing 

advice on ecological risk assessment 

tools and scientific approaches in 

developing listed species risk 

assessments that are compliant with 

both FIFRA and the Endangered Species 

Act (ESA). EPA anticipates that the NRC 

report, expected in spring 2013, will 

provide recommendations to ensure 

scientific soundness and maximize the 

utility of risk assessment refinements for 

listed species. Additional information 

can be found at the following Web site: 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
14542 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Notices 

http://www.nationalacademies.org/cp/ 

projectview.aspx?key=49396. Useful 

refinements to the listed species 

assessments are expected to include, but 

not be limited to, the following: (1) 

More detailed, species-specific 

ecological and biological data; (2) more 

detailed and accurate information on 

chemical use patterns; and (3) subcounty level spatial proximity data 

depicting the co-occurrence of potential 

effects and listed species and any 

designated critical habitat. 

If, in the event that a draft risk 

assessment shows risks of concern to 

human health or the environment for a 

specific chemical, EPA reserves the 

right to initiate mitigation at this stage 

of registration review. This effort to 

mitigate a chemical’s risks early in the 

registration review process is consistent 

with the Agency’s approach for 

registration review. Where risks are 

identified early in the registration 

review process and opportunities for 

early mitigation exist, the Agency may 

pursue those opportunities as they arise, 

rather then waiting for completion of a 

chemical’s registration review in order 

to mitigate risks. The public comment 

period for the draft risk assessments 

allows members of the public to provide 

comments and suggestions for revising 

the draft risk assessments and for 

reducing risks. 

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 draft human 

health and ecological risk assessments 

for cyromazine, silica silicates, 

glufosinate ammonium, DSS, and UDA. 

Such comments and input could 

address, among other things, the 

Agency’s risk assessment methodologies 

and assumptions, as applied in these 

draft risk assessments. 

The Agency will consider all 

comments received during the public 

comment period and make changes, as 

appropriate, to the draft human health 

and ecological risk assessments. EPA 

will then issue revised risk assessments, 

if appropriate, and explain any changes 

to the draft risk assessments, and 

respond to comments. In the Federal 

Register notice announcing the 

availability of the revised risk 

assessments, if any of the revised risk 

assessments indicate risks of concern, 

the Agency may provide a comment 

period for the public to submit 

suggestions for mitigating the risks 

identified in those revised risk 

assessments. At present, EPA is 

releasing registration review draft risk 

assessments for the pesticide cases 

identified in the following table and 

further described after the table.

Cyromazine 

The registration review docket for 

cyromazine (EPA–HQ–OPP–2006–0108) 

opened in a notice published in the 

Federal Register of March 28, 2007 (72 

FR 14548) (FRL–8118–3). Cyromazine, 

an insecticide/larvicide, is a member of 

the triazine class of chemicals registered 

for use on a variety of agricultural food 

crop as well as non-food uses such as 

landscape and greenhouse ornamentals. 

For cyromazine, the Agency has 

conducted a human health risk 

assessment for both dietary (food and 

drinking water) and occupational 

exposure pathways. The Agency has 

also conducted an ecological risk 

assessment, which includes a screeninglevel listed species assessment. EPA 

acknowledges that further refinements 

to the listed species assessment will be 

completed in future revisions and 

requests public comment on specific 

areas that will reduce the uncertainties 

associated with the characterization of 

risk to listed species identified in the 

current assessment. 

Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate (DSS) 

The registration review docket for 

DSS (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–1006) 

opened in a notice published in the 

Federal Register of December 22, 2010 

(75 FR 80496) (FRL–8857–6). DSS is 

registered as an insecticide in pet 

shampoos and spray products in 

combination with undecylenic acid. 

There are no food uses and, thus, no 

tolerances are established. DSS is also 

used as an inert ingredient in several 

end-use pesticide products, 

disinfectants and sanitizers, and as a 

wetting agent in industrial, drug, 

cosmetic, and food products. The 

Agency has conducted a qualitative 

assessment of both human health and 

ecological risks, including listed species 

for DSS. 

Glufosinate Ammonium 

The registration review docket for 

glufosinate ammonium (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2008–0190) opened in a notice 

published in the Federal Register of 

March 26, 2008 (73 FR 16011) (FRL– 

8356–4). Glufosinate ammonium is an 

herbicide that acts by inhibiting 

glutamine synthetase, which leads to 

poisoning in plants via the 

overproduction of ammonia. Glufosinate 

ammonium is registered for use on a 

variety of food crops, and is registered 

for use on non-crop areas such as golf 

course turf and spot treatments on 

residential lawns. To support the 

registration review of glufosinate 

ammonium, the Agency has conducted 

a human health risk assessment via a 

new use risk assessment for citrus, 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Notices 14543 

pome, and stone fruits completed July 

25, 2012, and an addendum completed 

on January 24, 2013, that addresses 

other scenarios not covered in the July 

25, 2012 new use assessment. The 

Agency has also conducted an 

ecological risk assessment, which 

includes a screening-level listed species 

assessment. EPA acknowledges that 

further refinements to the listed species 

assessment will be completed in future 

revisions and requests public comment 

on specific areas that will reduce the 

uncertainties associated with the 

characterization of risk to listed species 

identified in the current assessment. 

Silica Silicates 

The registration review docket for 

silica silicates (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007– 

1140) opened in a notice published in 

the Federal Register of March 26, 2008 

(73 FR 16011) (FRL–8356–4). Silica 

silicates, silicon dioxide and silica gel, 

are insecticides and acaracides used in 

controlling insects at indoor and 

outdoor sites including a variety of 

crops. Silicon dioxide is diatomaceous 

earth, a naturally-occurring material 

composed of the shells of minute, 

single-celled algae. Silica gel is an 

amorphous form of silicon dioxide. 

Because of their abrasive characteristics, 

both active ingredients affect insects by 

removing the oily protective film 

covering their bodies which normally 

prevents the loss of water, leading to 

death by desiccation. The qualitative 

human health risk assessment 

conducted for the 1991 reregistration 

eligibility decision (RED) is still 

considered to be an adequate analysis of 

potential risks to humans. No new 

human health toxicology or exposure 

data were required or are available for 

silica silicates; therefore, a new human 

health risk assessment was not 

necessary to be completed for 

registration review nor is one being 

made available for comment at this 

time. Further, due to low toxicity, and 

the fact that silica silicates naturally 

occur in the environment, the Agency 

has conducted a qualitative ecological 

risk assessment for non-target terrestrial 

species. EPA acknowledges that further 

refinements to the listed species 

assessment will be completed in future 

revisions and requests public comment 

on specific areas that will reduce the 

uncertainties associated with the 

characterization of risk to listed species 

identified in the current assessment. 

Undecylenic Acid (UDA) 

The registration review docket for 

UDA (EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–0910) 

opened in a notice published in the 

Federal Register of December 21, 2011 

(76 FR 79173) (FRL–9329–7). UDA is 

registered as an insecticide in pet 

shampoos and spray products in 

combination with dioctyl sodium 

sulfosuccinate (DSS). There are no food 

uses and, thus, no tolerances are 

established. UDA is approved by the 

U.S. Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) as an active ingredient in over the 

counter anti-fungal products, and it is 

also used as a flavoring agent. EPA has 

conducted a qualitative assessment for 

both human health and ecological risks, 

including listed species for UDA. 

1. Other related information. 

Additional information on cyromazine, 

silica silicates, glufosinate ammonium, 

DSS, and UDA is available on the 

chemical pages for these pesticides in 

Chemical Search, http://www.epa.gov/ 

pesticides/chemicalsearch/, and in each 

chemical’s individual docket listed in 

Table in Unit III. Information on the 

Agency’s registration review program 

and its implementing regulation is 

available at http://www.epa.gov/ 

oppsrrd1/registration_review/. 

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 

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
