Chlorflurenol; Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s Reregistration 

Eligibility Decision (RED) for the 

pesticide chlorflurenol. The Agency’s 

risk assessments and other related 

documents also are available in the 

chlorflurenol docket. Chlorflurenol is an 

herbicide and a plant growth regulator 

registered for use in agricultural, 

commercial, and residential settings. 

Chlorflurenol has no food/feed uses 

and, therefore, has no tolerances 

associated with its use. EPA has 

reviewed chlorflurenol through the 

public participation process that the 

Agency uses to involve the public in 

developing pesticide reregistration 

decisions. Through these programs, EPA 

is ensuring that all pesticides meet 

current health and safety standards.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Under section 4 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating 

existing pesticides to ensure that they 

meet current scientific and regulatory 

standards. EPA has completed a 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) 

for the pesticide, chlorflurenol under 

section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. 

Chlorflurenol is a plant growth regulator 

and an herbicide with no food/feed uses 

and, therefore, no tolerances associated 

with its use. It is used for the 

postemergent control of broadleaf weeds 

in turf, and to retard the growth of 

ornamental turf/trees, and vegetation in 

nonagricultural rights-of-way and forest 

management areas. Chlorflurenol is also 

used to stimulate the growth of 

pineapple planting material or sliplets. 

The Agency does not consider this use 

on pineapples to be a food use, as the 

first harvest from chlorflurenol-treated 

planting material occurs well over one 

year after planting. EPA has determined 

that the data base to support 

reregistration is sufficently complete 

and that products containing 

chlorflurenol are eligible for 

reregistration, provided that the risk 

mitigation measures identified in the 

RED document are adopted and label 

amendments are made to reflect these 

measures. Upon submission of any 

required product specific data under 

section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary 

changes to the registration and labeling 

(either to address concerns identified in 

the RED or as a result of product 

specific data), EPA will make a final 

reregistration decision under section 

4(g)(2)(C) for products containing 

chlorflurenol. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide 

Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) 

(FRL–7357–9) explains that in 

conducting these programs, EPA is 

tailoring its public participation process 

to be commensurate with the level of 

risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, 

and degree of public concern associated 

with each pesticide. Due to its uses, 

risks, and other factors, chlorflurenol 

was reviewed through the modified 4- 

Phase public participation process. 

Through this process, EPA worked 

extensively with stakeholders and the 

public to reach the regulatory decisions 

for chlorflurenol. 

The reregistration program is being 

conducted under Congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public. Few 

substantive comments were received 

during the Phase 3, 60–day comment 

period for chlorflurenol, and all issues 

related to this pesticide were resolved 

through consultations with 

stakeholders. The Agency therefore is 

issuing the chlorflurenol RED without a 

comment period. 

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.’’

Reregistration Eligibility Decision for 

Low Risk Pesticide; Notice of 

Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s Reregistration 

Eligibility Decision (RED) for the 

pesticide lime-sulfur (inorganic 

polysulfides also called calcium 

polysulfide), and opens a public 

comment period on this document, 

related risk assessments, and other 

support documents. EPA has reviewed 

the low risk pesticide lime-sulfur 

(inorganic polysulfides) through a 

modified, streamlined version of the 

public participation process that the 

Agency uses to involve the public in 

developing pesticide reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment decisions. 

Through these programs, EPA is 

ensuring that all pesticides meet current 

health and safety standards.
