SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This notice 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 

Table 1 of Unit IV. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to the 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 the 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 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

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 the 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. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

agency may consider during registration 

reviews. As part of the registration 

review process, the Agency has 

completed preliminary workplans for all 

pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit IV. 

EPA initiates a registration review by 

establishing a public docket for a 

pesticide registration review case. The 

docket contains a Preliminary Work 

Plan (PWP) summarizing information 

EPA has on the pesticide and the 

anticipated path forward. Through this 

program, the 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 Table 

1 of Unit I pursuant to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 

136a(g)) and the Procedural Regulations 

for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 

155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) 

provides, among other things, that 

pesticide registrations are to be 

reviewed every 15 years. Consistent 

with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final 

registration review decision, EPA will 

ultimately determine whether a 

pesticide continues to meet the 

registration standard in FIFRA section 

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

IV. Registration Review 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50(b), this 

notice announces the availability of the 

EPA’s work plans and registration 

review case dockets for the pesticides 

shown in Table 1 and opens a 60-day 

public comment period on the work 

plans and case dockets.
