Hexaflumuron, and Piperalin 

Registration Review; Draft Human 

Health and Ecological Risk 

Assessments; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s draft human health 

and ecological risk assessments for the 

registration review of clethodim, 

hydrogen cyanamide, flutolanil, fosetylaluminum, hexaflumuron, and 

piperalin, and opens a public comment 

period on these documents. 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, 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Notices 17537 

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 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the pesticide 

registration for clethodim, hydrogen 

cyanamide, flutolanil, fosetylaluminum, hexaflumuron, and piperalin 

to ensure that they continues 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. 

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 clethodim, hydrogen cyanamide, 

flutolanil, fosetyl-aluminum, 

hexaflumuron, and piperalin. Such 

comments and input could address, 

among other things, the Agency’s risk 

assessment methodologies and 

assumptions, as applied to the 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 a revised risk 

assessment, explain any changes to the 

draft risk assessment, and respond to 

comments. In the Federal Register 

notice announcing the availability of the 

revised risk assessment, if the revised 

risk assessment indicates risks of 

concern, the Agency may provide a 

comment period for the public to submit 

suggestions for mitigating the risk 

identified in the revised risk assessment 

before developing a proposed 

registration review decision. At present, 

EPA is releasing registration review 

draft risk assessments for the pesticide 

cases identified in the following table 

and further described below.

post-emergence cyclohexanedione 

herbicide used to control annual and 

perennial grasses in a wide variety of 

broad leaf crops including soybeans, 

cotton, peanuts, dry beans, peas, 

potatoes and alfalfa among many others. 

Non-food uses include sod farms, 

conifer trees, non-crop areas, and 

greenhouse/outdoor ornamentals. 

Tolerances have been established for 

clethodim in and on various raw 

agricultural commodities. EPA has 

completed a comprehensive draft 

human health and ecological risk 

assessment including an endangered 

species assessment, for all clethodim 

uses. 

2. Hydrogen cyanamide. Hydrogen 

cyanamide is a plant growth regulator 

used primarily on orchard crops to 

produce a more uniform bud break. EPA 

has completed a comprehensive draft

benzanilide fungicide used to prevent 

and control powdery scab, Spogospora 

subterranean, Rhizoctonia solani (the 

causal agent of limb/pod rot in peanuts), 

sheath blight in rice, black scurf in 

potato, wirestem in Brassica (Cole) leafy 

vegetables and turnip greens, and black 

scurf, Rhizoctonia solani, and crown rot 

in ginseng. Flutolanil is also effective in 

controlling white mold in peanuts and 

rust diseases in several crops. Flutolanil 

is currently registered for application to 

Brassica (Cole) leafy vegetables, 

peanuts, potatoes, rice, and turnip 

greens, and as a seed treatment for 

soybean and cotton. Tolerances have 

been established for these commodities 

as well as tolerances for inadvertent 

residues for wheat commodities as 

rotational crops and tolerances for 

ruminant commodities. Non-food uses 

of flutolanil include turf, and 

greenhouse, nursery, and potted 

ornamentals. EPA has completed a 

comprehensive draft human health and 

ecological risk assessment including an
