Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 84 / Wednesday, May 2, 2007 / Notices 24299 

1,3-D was deemed eligible for 

reregistration in December 1998. The 

volatility of 1,3-D in the environment 

and results of metabolism studies in 

plants assure that there is no reasonable 

expectation of finite residues to be 

incurred in/on any raw agricultural 

commodities when end-use product 

formulations containing 1,3-D are 

applied according to label directions. 

Therefore, this fumigant does not 

require food tolerances. EPA is providing an opportunity, 

through this notice, for interested 

parties to provide risk management 

proposals or otherwise comment on risk 

management for the soil fumigant group. 

A complete list of the mitigation options 

can be found in the following 

document, ‘‘Risk Mitigation Options to 

Address Bystander and Occupational 

Exposures from Soil Fumigant 

Applications,’’ docket number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2005–0124-0048. A Reader’s 

Guide has been created to provide an 

organizational structure to the 1,3-D 

Docket, to allow readers to more easily 

access and navigate the various entries 

contained in the 1,3-D Docket, and to 

facilitate public comment. You will find 

this guide at EPA–HQ–OPP–2005–0124- 

0046. 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. Although 1,3-D has undergone 

reregistration, the Agency plans to 

follow a similar public participation 

process for the human health revised 

risk assessment to ensure that the risk 

assessment approaches are consistent, 

and that risk management decisions for 

the five other soil fumigants consider 

the relative risks and benefits of each 

chemical. While the Agency does not 

anticipate making changes to the 

decisions made in the 1998 RED, if, at 

the conclusion of the soil fumigant 

assessment and risk management 

process, EPA determines that it is 

appropriate to modify its 1998 risk 

mitigation decision for 1,3-D 

considering the relative risks and 

benefits of others, EPA may relax certain 

measures or consider adding new ones. All comments should be submitted 

using the methods in ADDRESSES, and 

must be received by EPA on or before 

the closing date. Comments and 

proposals will become part of the 

Agency Docket for 1,3-D. Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late’’ EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

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.’’ 

1,3-D was deemed eligible for 

reregistration in December 1998. EPA 

has developed a revised human health 

risk assessment for 1,3-D to assess the 

proposed post-plant use in established 

vineyards, and also in order to make 

available current and accurate 

information on this pesticide which will 

be considered as EPA assesses risk and 

develops risk management decisions for 

the five other soil fumigants.

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.
