37372 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 14, 2000 / Notices

using for involving the public in the

reassessment of pesticide tolerances

under the Food Quality Protection Act

(FQPA), and the reregistration of

individual organophosphate pesticides

under the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA). The pilot public participation

process was developed as part of the

EPA-USDA Tolerance Reassessment

Advisory Committee (TRAC), which

was established in April 1998, as a

subcommittee under the auspices of

EPA’s National Advisory Council for

Environmental Policy and Technology.

A goal of the pilot public participation

process is to find a more effective way

for the public to participate at critical

junctures in the Agency’s development

of organophosphate pesticide risk

assessments and risk management

decisions. EPA and USDA began

implementing this pilot process in

August 1998, to increase transparency

and opportunities for stakeholder

consultation. The documents being

released to the public through this

notice provide information on the

revisions that were made to the

dicrotophos preliminary risk

assessments, which was released to the

public September 2, 1999 (64 FR 170)

(FRL–6380–9) through a notice in the

Federal Register.

In addition, this notice starts a 60-day

public participation period during

which the public is encouraged to

submit risk management proposals or

otherwise comment on risk management

for dicrotophos. The Agency is

providing an opportunity, through this

notice, for interested parties to provide

written risk management proposals or

ideas to the Agency on the chemical

specified in this notice. Such comments

and proposals could address ideas about

how to manage dietary, occupational, or

ecological risks on specific dicrotophos

use sites or crops across the United

States or in a particular geographic

region of the country. To address dietary

risk, for example, commenters may

choose to discuss the feasibility of lower

application rates, increasing the time

interval between application and

harvest (‘‘pre-harvest intervals’’),

modifications in use, or suggest

alternative measures to reduce residues

contributing to dietary exposure. For

occupational risks, commenters may

suggest personal protective equipment

or technologies to reduce exposure to

workers and pesticide handlers. For

ecological risks, commenters may

suggest ways to reduce environmental

exposure, e.g., exposure to birds, fish,

mammals, and other non-target

organisms. EPA will provide other

opportunities for public participation

and comment on issues associated with

the organophosphate pesticide tolerance

reassessment program. Failure to

participate or comment as part of this

opportunity will in no way prejudice or

limit a commenter’s opportunity to

participate fully in later notice and

comment processes. All comments and

proposals must be received by EPA on

or before August 14, 2000 at the

addresses given under the

‘‘ADDRESSES’’ section. Comments and

proposals will become part of the

Agency record for the organophosphate

pesticide specified in this notice.

III. What is the Agency’s Authority for

Taking this Action?

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that

a registrant of a pesticide product may

at any time request that any of its

pesticide registrations be amended to

delete one or more uses. The Act further

provides that, before acting on the

request, EPA must publish a notice of

receipt of any such request in the

Federal Register. Thereafter, the

Administrator may approve such a

request.

IV. Loss of Active Ingredient

Unless the request for cancellation is

withdrawn, one pesticide active

ingredient will no longer appear in any

registered products. Those who are

concerned about the potential loss of

this active ingredient for pesticidal use

are encouraged to work directly with the

registrant to explore the possibility of

withdrawing their request for

cancellation. The active ingredient is

listed in the following Table 3, with the

EPA company and CAS number.

TABLE 3.—DISAPPEARING ACTIVE INGREDIENT

CAS No. Chemical Name EPA Company No.

Unknown ............................................................................. Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki CryIA 069575

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of

Request

Registrants who choose to withdraw a

request for cancellation must submit

such withdrawal in writing to James A.

Hollins, at the address given above,

postmarked before December 11, 2000.

This written withdrawal of the request

for cancellation will apply only to the

applicable 6(f)(1) request listed in this

notice. If the product(s) have been

subject to a previous cancellation

action, the effective date of cancellation

and all other provisions of any earlier

cancellation action are controlling. The

withdrawal request must also include a

commitment to pay any reregistration

fees due, and to fulfill any applicable

unsatisfied data requirements.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of

Existing Stocks

The effective date of cancellation will

be the date of the cancellation order.

The orders effecting these requested

cancellations will generally permit a

registrant to sell or distribute existing

stocks for 1 year after the date the

cancellation request was received by the

Agency. This policy is in accordance

with the Agency’s statement of policy as

prescribed in Federal Register (56 FR

29362) June 26, 1991; (FRL 3846–4).

Exception to this general rule will be

made if a product poses a risk concern,

or is in noncompliance with

reregistration requirements, or is subject

to a data call-in. In all cases, productspecific disposition dates will be given

in the cancellation orders.

Existing stocks are those stocks of

registered pesticide products which are

currently in the United States and

which have been packaged, labeled, and

released for shipment prior to the

effective date of the cancellation action.

Unless the provisions of an earlier order

apply, existing stocks already in the

hands of dealers or users can be

distributed, sold or used legally until

they are exhausted, provided that such

further sale and use comply with the

EPA-approved label and labeling of the

affected product(s). Exceptions to these

general rules will be made in specific

cases when more stringent restrictions

on sale, distribution, or use of the

products or their ingredients have

already been imposed, as in Special

Review actions, or where the Agency

has identified significant potential risk

concerns associated with a particular

chemical.

Pesticide Reregistration Performance

Measures and Goals

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s

progress in meeting its performance

measures and goals for pesticide

reregistration during 1999. The Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA) requires EPA to publish

this information annually. The notice

discusses the integration of tolerance

reassessment with the reregistration

process, and describes the status of

various regulatory activities associated

with reregistration and tolerance

reassessment. The notice gives total

numbers of chemicals and products

reregistered, tolerances reassessed, Data

Call-Ins issued, and products registered

under the ‘‘fast-track’’ provisions of

FIFRA. Finally, this notice contains the

schedule for completion of activities for

specific chemicals during the next two

fiscal years.

DATES: This notice is not subject to a

formal comment period. Nevertheless,

EPA welcomes input from stakeholders

and the general public. Written

comments, identified by the docket
