The registration review docket for a 

pesticide includes earlier documents 

related to the registration review case. 

For example, the review opened with a 

Preliminary Work Plan, for public 

comment. A Final Work Plan was 

placed in the docket following public 

comment on the Preliminary Work Plan. 

The documents in the dockets 

describe EPA’s rationales for conducting 

additional risk assessments for the 

registration review of the pesticides 

included in Table 1 in Unit IV, as well 

as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings 

and consideration of possible risk 

mitigation measures. These proposed 

interim registration review decisions are 

supported by the rationales included in 

those documents. Following public 

comment, the Agency will issue interim 

or final registration review decisions for 

the pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit 

IV. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

proposed interim 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 interim decision. 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 IV. Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ 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 interim registration review 

decision will explain the effect that any 

comments had on the interim decision 

and provide the Agency’s response to 

significant comments.

program is provided at: https://

Notice of Intent To Suspend Dimethyl 

Tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA) 

Technical Registration 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice, pursuant the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), publishes a 

Notice of Intent to Suspend a pesticide 

registration issued by EPA containing 

dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate 

(DCPA). The Notice of Intent to Suspend 

was issued following the Agency’s 

January 21, 2013, issuance of a Data 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2022 / Notices 25263 

Call-In Notice (DCI), which required the 

registrant of the affected pesticide 

product containing DCPA to take 

appropriate steps to secure certain data. 

Following the registrant’s failure to 

submit these data or to take other 

appropriate steps to secure the required 

data, the agency is unable to fully 

evaluate the risks associated with 

DCPA. Data for DCPA were determined 

to be required to maintain the existing 

registration of the affected product. In 

particular, due to the lack of complete 

data examining thyroid toxicity of 

DCPA, the Agency is not able to 

complete a scientifically robust and 

defensible human health risk 

assessment. Preliminary data evaluated 

by EPA provides evidence that, in 

animal studies, the fetus is potentially 

more sensitive to DCPA’s effect on 

thyroid function compared to the 

mother. Given this potential fetal 

sensitivity, EPA has concerns for 

exposures to pregnant females and 

effects on the developing fetus. Based 

on EPA’s review of the preliminary data, 

applying a standard uncertainty factor 

(typically a ten-fold factor) to account 

for these missing data may not be 

adequate to account for these effects. 

The failure of the registrant to comply 

with the thyroid toxicity and other data 

requirements of the DCPA DCI is a basis 

for suspension of the affected 

registration under FIFRA. 

DATES: The Notice of Intent to Suspend 

included in this Federal Register notice 

will become a final and effective 

suspension order automatically by 

operation of law 30 days after the date 

of the registrant’s receipt of the Notice 

of Intent to Suspend or, if the EPA 

Administrator otherwise is unable to 

accomplish delivery to the registrant 

after making reasonable efforts to do so, 

the Notice of Intent to Suspend becomes 

effective 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, unless, during that time, a 

timely and adequate request for a 

hearing is made by a person adversely 

affected by the Notice of Intent to 

Suspend, or the registrant has satisfied 

the EPA Administrator that the 

registrant has complied fully with the 

requirements that served as a basis for 

the Notice of Intent to Suspend. Unit IV. 

explains what must be done to avoid 

suspension under this notice (i.e., how 

to request a hearing or how to comply 

fully with the requirements that served 

as a basis for the Notice of Intent to 

Suspend).

IV. How To Avoid Suspension Under 

this Notice? 

1. You may avoid suspension under 

this notice if you or another person 

adversely affected by this notice 

properly request a hearing within 30 

days of your receipt of the Notice of 

Intent to Suspend or, if you did not 

receive the notice that was sent to you, 

then within 30 days from the date of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice (see DATES). If you request a 

hearing, it will be conducted in 

accordance with the requirements of 

FIFRA section 6(d) (7 U.S.C. 136d) and 

the Agency’s procedural regulations in 

40 CFR part 164, to the extent 

applicable. Section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA 

(7 U.S.C. 136a), however, provides that 

the only allowable issues which may be 

addressed at the hearing are whether 

you have failed to take the actions 

which are the bases of this notice and 

whether the Agency’s decision 

regarding the disposition of existing 

stocks is consistent with FIFRA. 

Therefore, no substantive allegation or 

legal argument concerning other issues, 

including but not limited to the 

Agency’s original decision to require the 

submission of data or other information, 

the need for or utility of any of the 

required data or other information or 

deadlines imposed, any allegations of 

errors or unfairness in any proceedings 

before an arbitrator, and the risks and 

benefits associated with continued 

registration of the affected product, may 

be considered in the proceeding. The 

Administrative Law Judge shall by order 

dismiss any objections which have no 

bearing on the allowable issues which 

may be considered in the proceeding. 

Section 3(c)(2)(B)(iv) of FIFRA provides 

that any hearing must be held, and a 

determination issued within 75 days 

after receipt of a hearing request. This 

75-day period may not be extended 

unless all parties in the proceeding 

stipulate to such an extension. If a 

hearing is properly requested, the 

Agency will issue a final order at the 

conclusion of the hearing governing the 

suspension of your product. A request 

for a hearing pursuant to this notice 

must: 

• Include specific objections which 

pertain to the allowable issues which 

may be heard at the hearing. 

• Identify the registrations for which 

a hearing is requested. 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2022 / Notices 25265 

• Set forth all necessary supporting 

facts pertaining to any of the objections 

which you have identified in your 

request for a hearing. 

If a hearing is requested by any person 

other than the registrant, that person 

must also state specifically why he/she 

asserts that he/she would be adversely 

affected by the suspension action 

described in this notice. Instructions for 

filing a request for a hearing are 

available at www.epa.gov/alj. You may 

file your request for a hearing 

electronically by clicking on the link to 

‘‘E-file using the electronic filing 

system,’’ or choose an alternative filing 

option by clicking on the link to ‘‘File 

by courier, mail or personal delivery.’’ 

If you intend to use the electronic filing 

system, EPA advises that you register in 

advance because there may be a 1–2 

business day delay between when you 

register and when you will be able to 

upload documents into the system. 

An additional copy should be sent to 

the person who signed this notice. The 

request must be received by the Hearing 

Clerk by the applicable 30th day 

deadline as measured from your receipt 

of the Notice of Intent to Suspend or 

publication of this notice, as set forth in 

DATES and in Unit IV.1., in order to be 

legally effective. The 30-day time limit 

is established by FIFRA and cannot be 

extended for any reason. Failure to meet 

the 30-day time limit will result in 

automatic suspension of your 

registration by operation of law and, 

under such circumstances, the 

suspension of the registration for your 

affected product will be final and 

effective at the close of business on the 

applicable 30th day deadline as 

measured from your receipt of the 

Notice of Intent to Suspend or 

publication of this notice, as set forth in 

DATES and in Unit IV.1., and will not be 

subject to further administrative review. 

The Agency’s rules of practice at 40 CFR 

164.7 forbid anyone who may take part 

in deciding this case, at any stage of the 

proceeding, from discussing the merits 

of the proceeding ex parte with any 

party or with any person who has been 

connected with the preparation or 

presentation of the proceeding as an 

advocate or in any investigative or 

expert capacity, or with any of their 

representatives. Accordingly, the 

following EPA offices, and the staffs 

thereof, are designated as judicial staff 

to perform the judicial function of EPA 

in any administrative hearings on this 

Notice of Intent to Suspend: The Office 

of the Administrative Law Judges, the 

Office of the Environmental Appeals 

Board, the EPA Administrator, the EPA 

Deputy Administrator, and the members 

of the staff in the immediate offices of 

the EPA Administrator and EPA Deputy 

Administrator. In addition, the 

Administrator may designate specific 

individuals in the immediate office of 

the Administrator and the Office of 

General Counsel as judicial staff for 

particular hearings. None of the persons 

designated as the judicial staff shall 

have any ex parte communication with 

trial staff or any other interested person 

not employed by EPA on the merits of 

any of the issues involved in this 

proceeding, without fully complying 

with the applicable regulations. 

2. You may also avoid suspension if, 

within the applicable 30-day deadline 

period as measured from your receipt of 

the Notice of Intent to Suspend or 

publication of this notice, as set forth in 

DATES and in Unit IV.1., the Agency 

determines that you have taken 

appropriate steps to comply with the 

FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B) DCI notice. In 

order to avoid suspension under this 

option, you must satisfactorily comply 

with Table 2—List of Requirements in 

Unit III., for the product by submitting 

all required supporting data/information 

described in Table 2 of Unit. III. and in 

the Explanatory Appendix (in the 

docket for this Federal Register notice) 

through CDX via the DCI application of 

the Pesticide Submission Portal (PSP). If 

you have a CDX account with access to 

the PSP, you may follow the link below 

to sign in, acknowledge receipt, and 

access your DCI(s): https://cdx.epa. 

gov/. 

A user guide is available for 

instructions on what to do if you do not 

have a CDX account or if you need to 

add PSP to your account: https://

cdx.epa.gov/content/documents/PSP/ 

OPP_CDX_Pesticide_Submission_

PortalRegistration_UserGuidev1.0p.pdf. 

For you to avoid automatic 

suspension under this notice, the 

Agency must also determine within the 

applicable 30-day deadline period that 

you have satisfied the requirements that 

are the bases of this notice and so notify 

you in writing. You should submit the 

necessary data/information as quickly as 

possible for there to be any chance the 

Agency will be able to make the 

necessary determination in time to 

avoid suspension of your product. The 

suspension of the registration of your 

company’s product pursuant to this 

notice will be rescinded when the 

Agency determines you have complied 

fully with the requirements which were 

the bases of this notice. Such 

compliance may only be achieved by 

submission of the data/information 

described in Table 2 of Unit III. 

V. Status of Products That Become 

Suspended 

Your product will remain suspended, 

however, until the Agency determines 

you are in compliance with the 

requirements which are the bases of this 

notice and so informs you in writing. 

After the suspension becomes final 

and effective, the registrant subject to 

this notice, including all supplemental 

registrants of product listed in Table 1 

of Unit II., may not legally distribute, 

sell, use (including use to formulate 

another pesticide product), offer for 

sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for 

shipment, or receive and (having so 

received) deliver or offer to deliver, to 

any person, the product listed in Table 

1 of Unit II, except for the purpose of 

disposal in accordance with all 

applicable federal, state and local 

requirements. Any distribution or sale

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 for the 

pesticide of interest identified in Table 

1 in Unit IV. 

II. Background 

Registration review is 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. As part of 

the registration review process, the 

Agency has completed interim or final 

decisions for all pesticides listed in 

Table 1 in Unit IV. Through this 

program, 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 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. What action is the Agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice 

announces the availability of EPA’s 

interim or final registration review 

decisions for the pesticides shown in 

Table 1. The registration review 

decisions are supported by rationales 

included in the docket established for 

each chemical.
