II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemical listed in 
the 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)). 
As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed a 
proposed interim or proposed decision for each of the pesticides listed 
in table 1 of unit I.
    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes documents 
related to the registration review case. Among other things, these 
documents describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk 
assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in 
table 1 of unit I, as well as the Agency's subsequent risk findings and 
consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed 
interim and proposed registration review decisions are supported by the 
rationales included in those documents.
    Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on proposed interim and 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.
    For additional background on the registration review program, see: 
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation.

III. What action is the Agency taking?

    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 for the pesticide of interest 
identified in table 1 of unit I. In submitting a comment to EPA, please 
consider the following:
    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all the information 
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on

[[Page 2683]]

a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to 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 all people, 
regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, 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.
    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 table 1 
in unit I. The Agency will consider all comments received by the 
closing date and may respond to comments in a ``Response to Comments 
Memorandum'' in the docket and/or in any subsequent interim or final 
registration review decision, as appropriate.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: January 6, 2025.

Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
