55468 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 184 / Friday, September 22, 2006 / Notices 

All 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 Agency Docket for 

TCMTB; ABS; OPP; Chlorine Dioxide 

and Sodium Chlorite. 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 will provide a Response to 

Comments Memorandum in the Docket 

and regulations.gov. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the TCMTB; ABS; 

OPP; Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium 

Chlorite REDs will be implemented as it 

is now presented. 

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.’’

Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. 

This review was completed by August 3, 

2006.
