Permethrin; Notice of Availability of 

Risk Assessments and Opening of 

Docket 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s preliminary human 

health and ecological risk assessments 

and related documents for permethrin, a 

synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, and 

opens a public comment period on these 

documents. The public is encouraged to 

provide information to refine assessed 

risks, and suggest risk management 

ideas or proposals to address the risks 

identified. At this time, EPA is 

intending to develop a Reregistration 

Eligibility Decision (RED) for 

permethrin through a modified 4–phase 

public participation process that the 

Agency uses to involve the public in 

developing pesticide reregistration and 

tolerance assessment decisions. For 

permethrin, a modified 4–Phase process 

with one public comment period and 

ample opportunity for public 

consultation seems appropriate in view 

of the number and level of risk concerns 

identified in the preliminary risk 

assessment. However, if as a result of 

comments received during this 

comment period EPA finds that 

additional issues warranting further 

discussion are raised, the Agency may 

consider an additional comment period, 

as needed. Through this program, EPA 

is ensuring that all pesticides meet 

current health and safety standards. 

This notice is phase–3 of the 4–phase 

process. 

DATES: Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number OPP–2004–

0385 must be received on or before 

October 31, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted electronically, by mail, or 

through hand delivery/courier. Follow 

the detailed instructions as provided in 

Unit I. of the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.
