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 

Table 1 in 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 the course 

of 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. 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 

The 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 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. Registration Reviews 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

A pesticide’s registration review 

begins when the Agency establishes a 

docket for the pesticide’s registration 

review case and opens the docket for 

public review and comment. Pursuant 

to 40 CFR 155.50, this notice announces

5818 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Notices 

the availability of the EPA’s preliminary 

work plans for the pesticides shown in 

Table 1 and opens a 60-day public 

comment period on the work plans.

B. What is in the docket? 

The registration review docket 

contains information that the Agency 

may consider in the course of the 

registration review. The Agency may 

include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.50(b) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

preliminary registration review work 

plans. This comment period is intended 

to provide an opportunity for public 

input and a mechanism for initiating 

any necessary changes to a pesticide’s 

workplan. All comments should be 

submitted using the methods in 

ADDRESSES and must be received by the 

EPA on or before the closing date. These 

comments will become part of the 

docket for the pesticides included in the 

Table in Unit IV. Comments received 

after the close of the comment period 

will be marked ‘‘late.’’ The EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

The Agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may provide a ‘‘Response to 

Comments Memorandum’’ in the 

docket. The final registration review 

work plan will explain the effect that 

any comments had on the final work 

plan and provide the Agency’s response 

to significant comments.

program is provided at: https://
