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 Table 

1 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. 

FIFRA section 3(g) 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 

the availability of the EPA’s preliminary 

work plans for the pesticides shown in

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 procedural 

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 Table 1 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On May 19, 2022, the Maine 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(ME DEP) submitted an application 

titled National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic 

Reporting Tool (NeT) for revisions/ 

modifications to its EPA-approved 

programs under title 40 CFR to allow 

new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed
