40 CFR Part 156 

Pesticides; Petition Seeking 

Rulemaking To Modify Labeling 

Requirements for Pesticides and 

Devices 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of and seeking public 

comment on a petition received from 

the Attorneys General of the States of 

Nebraska, Iowa, Alabama, Arkansas, 

Georgia, Indiana, 

Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, 

South Carolina, and South Dakota 

requesting the Agency initiate 

rulemaking to amend the existing 

regulations under the Federal 

Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide 

Act (FIFRA). The Attorneys General 

believe the Agency should modify its 

requirements such that any state 

labeling requirements inconsistent with 

EPA’s findings and conclusions from its 

human health risk assessment on 

human health effects, such as a 

pesticide’s likelihood to cause cancer, 

birth defects, or reproductive harm, 

constitute misbranding.

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 

pesticide registrants, environmental, 

human health, and agricultural 

advocates, pesticide users, and members 

of the public interested in the use of 

pesticides. This listing is not intended 

to be exhaustive but rather provides a 

guide for readers regarding entities 

likely to be affected by his action. 

Because others may also be interested,

paragraph (xi) to include the following 

as an example of statements or 

representations in the labeling which 

constitute misbranding: ‘‘Statements or

Containers for either method must be lot-tested and shown to be free of detectable PF AS. 

28 Samples should be extracted within 24 hours ifNFDHA is a required analyte for a given project. 

29 If the whole fish or other seafood sample is frozen within 48 hours of co11ection, the holding time begins 

when the tissue is processed for analysis ( e.g., fi11eting, grinding, removal of specific tissue for analysis. 

Prepared tissue sample aliquots may be held for up to 90 days when stored at less than or equal to -20 °C.

day findings on seven petitions to add 

species to, and one petition to remove 

a species from, the Lists of Endangered 

and Threatened Wildlife and Plants

dace’’), Tennessee bottlebrush crayfish 

(Barbicambarus simmonsi), and one 

petition to delist the golden-cheeked 

warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) present 

substantial scientific or commercial 

information indicating that the 

petitioned actions may be warranted. 

Therefore, with the publication of this 

document, we announce that we are 

initiating status reviews of these species 

to determine whether the petitioned 

actions are warranted. To ensure that 

the status reviews are comprehensive, 

we request scientific and commercial 

data and other information regarding the 

species and factors that may affect their 

status. Based on the status reviews, we 

will issue 12-month petition findings, 

which will address whether or not the 

petitioned actions are warranted, in 

accordance with the Act.

January 21, 2025.
