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 for the 

pesticide of interest identified in the 

Table in Unit IV. 

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 on 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. 

II. Background 

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 proposed interim 

decisions for all pesticides listed in the 

Table in Unit IV. 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. 

III. Authority 

EPA is conducting its registration 

review of the chemicals listed in the 

Table in Unit IV 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) (7 U.S.C. 136a(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. 

IV. What action is the Agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice 

announces the availability of EPA’s 

proposed interim registration review 

decisions for the pesticides shown in 

Table 1, and opens a 60-day public 

comment period on the proposed 

interim registration review decisions.

aThe Proposed Interim Decisions for chromated arsenicals and dichromic acid, disodium salt, dihydrate will be released in a single document 

available in the dockets for both cases. 

The registration review docket for a 

pesticide includes earlier documents 

related to the registration review case. 

For example, the review opened with a 

Preliminary Work Plan, for public 

comment. A Final Work Plan was 

placed in the docket following public 

comment on the Preliminary Work Plan. 

The documents in the dockets 

describe EPA’s rationales for conducting 

additional risk assessments for the 

registration review of the pesticides 

included in the tables in Unit IV, as well 

as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings 

and consideration of possible risk 

mitigation measures. These proposed 

interim registration review decisions are 

supported by the rationales included in 

those documents. Following public 

comment, the Agency will issue interim 

or final registration review decisions for 

the pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit 

IV. 

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 decision. All 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
12942 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 42 / Friday, March 5, 2021 / Notices 

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 Tables in Unit IV. 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 may provide a ‘‘Response to 

Comments Memorandum’’ in the 

docket. The interim registration review 

decision will explain the effect that any 

comments had on the interim decision 

and provide the Agency’s response to 

significant comments.

program is provided at: http://

issues of concern to smaller 

communities. Members of LGAC and 

SCAS will provide advice and 

recommendations on a broad range of 

issues related to our shared goals of 

promoting and protecting public health 

and the environment. These issues may 

include: Advancing environmental 

justice; ensuring access to clean air and 

water; reducing greenhouse gas 

emissions; bolstering resilience to the 

impacts of climate change; and limiting 

exposure to dangerous chemicals and 

pesticides.

elected or appointed officials 

representing local, state, tribal or 

territorial governments. Additional 

criteria to be considered may include: 

Experience with multi-sector 

partnerships; coalition-building and 

grassroots involvement; involvement 

and leadership in national, state or 

regional intergovernmental associations; 

knowledge of and commitment to

ask members to serve on Subcommittees 

and Workgroups to develop reports and 

recommendations to address specific 

policy issues, reflecting the priorities of 

the Administration. The average 

workload for members is approximately 

5 hours per month. While EPA is unable 

to provide compensation for services, 

official Committee travel and related 

expenses (lodging, etc.) will be fully 

reimbursed. 

Nominations: Nominations must be
