ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability of EPA’s proposed registration review decision(s) for the pesticide(s) shown in the following table, and opens a 60–day public comment period on the proposed decision(s).

Streptomyces Strain K61 is a naturally occurring soil bacterium and is classified as a microbial pesticide. It is believed to act against disease-causing fungi in at least two ways: By colonizing plant roots to deprive disease organisms of space and nourishment; and by producing several kinds of chemicals that attack the harmful fungi. It is used on lettuce and flowers as a seed treatment, transplant and seedling root dip treatment, cut flower dip treatments, soil drench applications, field side-dress applications, band or in-furrow treatments, soil spray treatments, seedling sprays, and integrated use in tank mixes with chemical fungicides.

The Wood Oils and Gums Registration Review Case no longer contains any other wood oils or gums with active ingredients with registered products except for cedarwood oil. Cedarwood oils are extracted from the Cupressaceae family, which includes true cedars, junipers, and cypresses. In the United States, cedarwood oil is mainly extracted from Juniperus virginiana (Eastern red cedar or Virginia cedar), Juniperus ashei or mexicana (Texas cedar), and Thuja plicata (Western red cedar). Cedar oil is registered for use as repellents and feeding depressants to control moths and fleas and retard the growth of mildew on fabrics.

The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier documents related to the registration review of the case. For example, the review opened with the posting of a Summary Document, containing a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final Work Plan was posted to the docket following public comment on the initial docket. The documents in the initial dockets described the Agency’s rationales for not conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A. These proposed registration review decisions continue to be supported by those rationales included in documents in the initial dockets.

Following public comment, the Agency will issue final registration review decisions for products containing the pesticides listed in the table in Unit II.A.

The registration review program is being conducted under congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. Section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, required EPA to establish by regulation procedures for reviewing pesticide registrations, originally with a goal of reviewing each pesticide’s registration every 15 years to ensure that a pesticide continues to meet the FIFRA standard for registration. The Agency’s final rule to implement this program was issued in August 2006 and became effective in October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA) was amended and extended in September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by PRIA in 2007, requires EPA to complete registration review decisions by October 1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as of October 1, 2007.

The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 60–day public comment period on all proposed registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the proposed decision. All comments should be submitted using the methods in

**ADDRESSES** , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the docket for the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked ‘‘ late. ’’ EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.

The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a ‘‘ Response to Comments Memorandum ’’ in the docket. The final registration review decision will explain the effect that any comments had on the decision and provide the Agency’s response to significant comments.
