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 identified in 

the Table in Unit IV. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

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. Background 

Registration review is EPA’s periodic 

review of pesticide registrations to 

ensure that each pesticide continues to 

satisfy the statutory standard for 

registration, that is, the pesticide can 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. As part of 

the registration review process, the 

Agency has completed comprehensive 

draft human health risk assessments for 

all pesticides listed in the Table in Unit 

IV. After reviewing comments received 

during the public comment period, EPA 

may issue a revised risk assessment, 

explain any changes to the draft risk 

assessment, and respond to comments 

and may request public input on risk 

mitigation before completing a proposed 

registration review decision for the 

pesticides listed in the Table in Unit IV. 

Through this program, EPA is ensuring 

that each pesticide’s registration is 

based on current scientific and other 

knowledge, including its effects on 

human health and the environment. 

III. Authority 

EPA is conducting its registration 

review of the chemicals listed in the 

Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) 

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Procedural Regulations for Registration 

Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among 

other things, that the registrations of 

pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 

years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 144 / Thursday, July 26, 2018 / Notices 35473 

in accordance with widespread and 

commonly recognized practice, the 

pesticide product must perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment; that 

is, without any unreasonable risk to 

man or the environment, or a human 

dietary risk from residues that result 

from the use of a pesticide in or on food. 

IV. What action is the agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice 

announces the availability of EPA’s 

human health risk assessments for the 

pesticides shown in the following table, 

and opens a 60-day public comment 

period on the risk assessments.

Information submission requirements. 

Anyone may submit data or information 

in response to this document. To be 

considered during a pesticide’s 

registration review, the submitted data 

or information must meet the following 

requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information.

Allocations of Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule Allowances From New 

Unit Set-Asides for 2018 Control 

Periods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of data availability. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing notice of the 

availability of data on emission 

allowance allocations to certain units 

under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR) trading programs. EPA has 

completed final calculations for the first 

round of allocations of allowances from 

the CSAPR new unit set-asides (NUSAs) 

for the 2018 control periods and has 

posted spreadsheets containing the 

calculations on EPA’s website. Several 

changes were made to the preliminary 

allocation spreadsheets to eliminate 

allocations to existing units that had 

been incorrectly identified as new units 

eligible to receive NUSA allocations. No 

changes were made to the calculations 

of the amounts of allocations to any 

units correctly identified as new units, 

and no additional units were identified 

as new units. 

DATES: July 26, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions concerning this action should 

be addressed to Kenon Smith at (202) 

343–9164 or smith.kenon@epa.gov or 

Jason Kuhns at (202) 564–3236 or 

kuhns.jason@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

each CSAPR trading program where 

EPA is responsible for determining 

emission allowance allocations, a 

portion of each state’s emissions budget 

for the program for each control period 

is reserved in a NUSA (and in an 

additional Indian country NUSA in the 

case of states with Indian country 

within their borders) for allocation to 

certain units that would not otherwise 

receive allowance allocations. The 

procedures for identifying the eligible 

units for each control period and for 

allocating allowances from the NUSAs 

and Indian country NUSAs to these 

units are set forth in the CSAPR trading 

program regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b) 

and 97.412 (NOX Annual), 97.511(b) and 

97.512 (NOX Ozone Season Group 1), 

97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1), 

97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2), and 

97.811(b) and 97.812 (NOX Ozone 

Season Group 2). Each NUSA allowance 

allocation process involves up to two 

rounds of allocations to eligible units, 

termed ‘‘new’’ units, followed by the 

allocation to ‘‘existing’’ units of any 

allowances not allocated to new units. 

In a NODA published in the Federal 

Register on May 10, 2018 (83 FR 21772), 

we provided notice of preliminary 

calculations for the first-round 2018
