[EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0321; FRL–8432–5] 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts; 

Amendment to Ziram and Ferbam 

Reregistration Eligibility Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

decision to amend the 2003 and 2005 

Reregistration Eligibility Decisions 

(RED) documents for the antimicrobial 

pesticides Ziram and Ferbam 

(Reregistration Case 2180). EPA 

conducted a reassessment of the Ziram 

and Ferbam REDs upon learning that the 

salts Potassium 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate and Sodium 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate were not 

evaluated at the same time as the rest of 

case 2180. The Agency has conducted a 

risk assessment and issued a RED 

addendum for the 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts, which 

were inadvertently not included in the 

2003 and 2005 Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision documents for Ziram and 

Ferbam. This notice opens an additional 

60–day public comment period for 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts because 

a previous comment period for the Risk 

Assessment portion of this addendum 

was restricted to registrants only. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 16, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID)

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you

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, 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

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 e-mail. 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. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

directs EPA to reevaluate existing 

pesticides to ensure that they meet 

current scientific and regulatory 

standards. In 2003 and 2005, EPA 

issued REDs for Ziram and Ferbam, 

respectively, under section 4(g)(2)(A) of 

FIFRA. The associated 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts RED 

reflects the evaluation of the final two 

active ingredients in case 2180, which 

were inadvertently not included in the 

2003 and 2005 Ziram and Ferbam 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision 

documents, as well as efforts by the 

Agency to appropriately mitigate overall 

risk. The RED amendment for Ziram and 

Ferbam concludes EPA’s reregistration 

eligibility decision-making process for 

these pesticides. 

The Agency evaluated Sodium 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate and 

Potassium Dimethyldithiocarbamate 

and determined that products 

containing Dimethyldithiocarbamate 

Salts are eligible for reregistration, 

provided that the risk mitigation 

measures identified within the 

Dimethyldithiocrabmante Salts RED 

addendum are adopted and labels are 

amended accordingly. The label table 

incorporated into the 

Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts RED 

addendum includes modifications 

which specify label language for 

protecting occupational handlers from 

inhalation exposure to powdered enduse products, as well as amending the 

environmental hazards statement for 

clarity. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’
