Organophosphate Pesticides;

Availability of Preliminary Risk

Assessments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of documents that were

developed as part of the EPA’s process

for making reregistration eligibility

decisions for the organophosphate

pesticides and for tolerance

reassessments consistent with the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(FFDCA), as amended by the Food

Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).

These documents are the preliminary

human health risk assessments and

related documents for malathion. This

notice also starts a 60-day public

comment period for the preliminary risk

assessments. Comments and data are to

be limited to issues directly associated

with the organophosphate pesticide that

has risk assessments placed in the

docket and should be limited to issues

raised in those documents. By allowing

access and opportunity for comment on

the preliminary risk assessments, EPA is

seeking to strengthen stakeholder

involvement and help ensure our

decisions under FQPA are transparent

and based on the best available

information. The tolerance reassessment

process will ensure that the United

States continues to have the safest and

most abundant food supply. The Agency

cautions that these risk assessments are

preliminary assessments only and that

further refinements of the risk

assessments will be appropriate for

some, if not all, of these

organophosphate pesticides. These

documents reflect only the work and

analysis conducted as of the time they

were produced and it is appropriate

that, as new information becomes

available and/or additional analyses are

performed, the conclusions they contain

may change.

DATES: Written comments and data on

these assessments, identified by the

docket control number OPP–34223,

must be received on or before July 10,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments and data may be

submitted by mail, electronically, or in

person. Please follow the detailed

instructions for each method as

provided in Unit I. of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure

proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative

that you identify the docket control

number in the subject line on the first

page of your response.
