Availability of Reregistration Eligibility

Decision Documents for Comment;

Certain Chemicals

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of

Reregistration Eligibility Decision

documents; opening of public comment

period.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of the Reregistration

Eligibility Decision (RED) documents for

the active ingredients Alkyl

Imidazolines, Amitraz, Amitrole,

Ancymidol, Bronopol, Chlorhexidine

diacetate, Chlorpropham, Coumaphos,

Cryolite, Desmedipham,

Dibromodicyanobutane, Dimethoxane,

Hydroxyethyl octyl sulfide,

Hydroxypropylmethanethiosulfonate,

Methyloxazolidine, Mitin-FF,

Norflurazon, O-benzyl-p-chlorophenol

and salts, Prometryn, Propamocarb

hydrochloride, Starlicide,

Tetrachlorvinphos, and Trifluralin. This

notice starts a 60–day public comment

period. The REDs for the chemicals

listed above are the Agency’s formal

regulatory assessments of the health and

environmental data base of the subject

chemicals and present the Agency’s

determination regarding which

pesticidal uses are eligible for

reregistration.

Please note that these REDs were

finalized and signed prior to August 3,

1996. On that date, the Food Quality

Protection Act of 1996 (‘‘FQPA’’)

became effective, amending portions of

both the pesticide law (FIFRA) and the

food and drug law (FFDCA). These

REDs don’t address any issues raised by

FQPA, and any tolerance-related

statements in the RED did not take into

account any changes in tolerance

assessment procedures required under

FQPA. To the extent that these REDs

indicate that a change in any tolerance

is necessary, that determination will be

reassessed by the Agency under the

standards set forth in FQPA before a

proposed tolerance is issued. To the

extent that the RED does not indicate

that a change in the tolerance is

necessary, that tolerance, too, will be

reassessed in the future pursuant to the

requirements of FQPA.

DATES: Written comments on these

decisions must be submitted by April 1,

1997.

‘‘OPP–34099’’ and the case number

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Agency has issued Reregistration

Eligibility Decision (RED) documents for

the pesticidal active ingredients listed

above. Under the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as

amended in 1988, EPA is conducting an

accelerated reregistration program to

reevaluate existing pesticides to make

sure they meet current scientific and

regulatory standards. The data base to

support the reregistration of each of the

chemicals listed above is substantially

complete.

All registrants of products containing

one or more of the above listed active

ingredients have been sent the

appropriate RED documents and must

respond to labeling requirements and

product specific data requirements (if

applicable) within 8 months of receipt.

Products containing other active

ingredients will not be reregistered until

those other active ingredients are

determined to be eligible for

reregistration.

The reregistration program is being

conducted under Congressionally

mandated time frames, and EPA

recognizes both the need to make timely

reregistration decisions and to involve

the public. Therefore, EPA is issuing

these REDs as final documents with a

60–day comment period. Although the

60–day public comment period does not

affect the registrant’s response due date,

it is intended to provide an opportunity

for public input and a mechanism for

initiating any necessary amendments to

the RED. All comments will be carefully

considered by the Agency. If any

comment significantly affects a RED,

EPA will amend the RED by publishing

the amendment in the Federal Register.

A record has been established for this

notice under docket number ‘‘OPP–

34099’’ (including comments and data

submitted electronically as described

below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of

electronic comments, which does not

include any information claimed as CBI,

is available for inspection from 8:30

a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The public

record is located in Rm. 1132 of the

Public Response and Program Resources

Branch, Field Operations Division

(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington, VA.

Electronic copies of the REDs and

RED fact sheets can be downloaded

from the Pesticide Special Review and

Reregistration Information System at

(703) 308–7224, and also can be reached

on the Internet via fedworld.gov and

EPA’s gopher server, gopher.epa.gov.

Electronic comments can be sent

directly to EPA at:

opp-docket@epamail.epa.gov

Electronic comments must be

submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the

use of special characters and any form

of encryption.

The official record of this notice, as

well as the public version, as described

above will be kept in paper form.

Accordingly, EPA will transfer all

comments received electronically into

printed, paper form as they are received

and will place the paper copies in the

official record which will also include

all comments submitted directly in

writing. The official record is the paper

record maintained at the address in

‘‘ADDRESSES’’ at the beginning of this

document.
