4The Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations addressing cooperating agency 

responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 1501.6. 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• air quality and noise; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

• public safety; and 

• cumulative impacts. 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. 

The EA will present Commission 

staff’s independent analysis of the 

issues. The EA will be available in the 

public record through eLibrary.3

Depending on the comments received 

during the scoping process, the 

Commission may also publish and 

distribute the EA to the public for an 

allotted comment period. Commission 

staff will consider and address all 

comments on the EA before making 

recommendations to the Commission. 

To ensure Commission staff has the 

opportunity to address your comments, 

please carefully follow the instructions 

in the Public Participation section, 

beginning on page 2. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA.4 Agencies that would like to 

request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. Commission 

staff will update the environmental 

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to 

ensure that information related to this 

environmental review is sent to all 

individuals, organizations, and 

government entities interested in and/or 

potentially affected by the proposed 

project. 

If the Commission publishes and 

distributes the EA, copies of the EA will 

be sent to the environmental mailing list 

for public review and comment. If you 

would prefer to receive a paper copy of 

the document instead of a CD version or 

would like to remove your name from 

the mailing list, please return the 

attached ‘‘Mailing List Update Form’’ 

(appendix 2).

Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s interim registration 

review decisions for the chemicals 

listed in the Table in Unit IV of this 

Notice. 

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 

pesticide specific contact person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT: For pesticide specific 

information, contact: The Chemical 

Review Manager for the pesticide of 

interest identified in the Table in Unit 

IV.

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 interim decisions 

for all 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 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 154 / Thursday, August 9, 2018 / Notices 39437 

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 

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 

interim registration review decisions for 

the pesticides shown in the following 

table. The interim registration review 

decisions are supported by rationales 

included in the docket established for 

each chemical.
