Pyrethrins/Pyrethroid Cumulative Risk 

Assessment; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 


emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Notices 69727 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s cumulative risk 

assessment for the naturally occurring 

pyrethrins and synthetic pyrethroid 

pesticides (often collectively called the 

‘pyrethroids’) and opens a public 

comment period on this document and 

other supporting documents which are 

available in the docket. The Food 

Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) 

requires the EPA to consider available 

information concerning the cumulative 

effects on human health resulting from 

exposure to multiple chemicals that 

have a common mechanism of toxicity 

when making regulatory decisions. The 

Agency has identified a common 

mechanism of toxicity for the naturally 

occurring pyrethrins and synthetic 

pyrethroid pesticides, and has 

conducted a screening-level cumulative 

risk assessment for all pesticidal uses 

for the pyrethroids. Based on this 

assessment, EPA has concluded that the 

cumulative risks from existing 

pyrethroid uses are below the Agency’s 

level of concern. Because this 

cumulative assessment uses a number of 

very conservative assumptions, EPA is 

providing an opportunity, through this 

notice, for interested parties to provide 

comments and input on any additional 

information that may be used to further 

refine the very conservative nature of 

this cumulative risk assessment. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before January 9, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

identified by the docket identification 

(ID) number EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–0746,

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your email address will 

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the comment that is placed in 

the docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either in the 

electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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, farm 

worker, 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 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the 

chemical review manager listed under

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. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. Authority 

Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

directs the Agency to consider available 

information on the cumulative risk from 

substances sharing a common 

mechanism of toxicity. On June 30, 

2011, the Agency determined that the 

naturally occurring pyrethrins and 

synthetic pyrethroid pesticides share a 

common mechanism of toxicity. This 

determination can be found in the 

document entitled ‘‘Draft Science Policy 

Paper for the Proposed Common 

Mechanism Grouping for the Pyrethrins 

and Synthetic Pyrethroids,’’ which is 

available in the docket EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0746.
