II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of EtO 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 the interim registration review 
decision for EtO.
    Prior to completing the interim registration review decision for 
EtO, EPA posted a proposed interim decision for EtO and invited the 
public to submit any comments or new information, consistent with 40 
CFR 155.58(a). EPA considered and responded to any comments or 
information received during this public comment period in the interim 
decision.
