II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is making available the Agency’s 

revised risk assessments, initially made 

available to the public for comment 

through a technical briefing on 

December 14, 1999, as well as related 

documents for dimethoate. EPA also is 

soliciting public comment on risk 

reduction options for dimethoate, 

namely, possible ways to mitigate 

drinking water risks, risks to workers, 

and risks to wildlife, as well as any data 

that may be available on the rate of 

conversion of dimethoate to omethoate 

during drinking water treatment. EPA 

developed the risk assessments for 

dimethoate as part of its public process 

for making pesticide reregistration 

eligibility and tolerance reassessment 

decisions. Through these programs, EPA 

is ensuring that pesticides meet current 

standards under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

and the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by 

the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 

(FQPA). 

Dimethoate is a systemic 

organophosphate insecticide used for 

control of a wide variety of insect pests 

on a number of fruit, vegetable, grain, 

and field crops, as well as ornamentals 

and non-cropland adjacent to 

agricultural fields. 

EPA is providing an opportunity, 

through this notice, for interested 

parties to provide risk management 

proposals or otherwise comment on risk 

management for dimethoate. Risks of 

concern associated with the use of 

dimethoate are as follows: 

1. Dietary risks from food and 

drinking water together exceed the 

Agency’s level of concern on an acute 

basis for all population subgroups, and 

on a chronic basis for infants and 

children. 

2. Risks to occupational handlers for 

some handler scenarios exceed the level 

of concern. 

3. Post-application risks for some 

exposure scenarios exceed the level of 

concern. 

4. The Agency’s ecological levels of 

concern are exceeded for birds on an 

acute and chronic basis, mammals on an 

acute and chronic basis, freshwater fish 

on a chronic basis, and freshwater 

invertebrates on an acute and chronic 

basis. 

In targeting these risks of concern, the 

Agency solicits information on effective 

and practical risk reduction measures. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide 

Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) 

(FRL–7357–9), explains that in 

conducting these programs, EPA is 

tailoring its public participation process 

to be commensurate with the level of 

risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, 

and degree of public concern associated 

with each pesticide. Due to its uses, 

risks, and other factors, dimethoate is 

being reviewed through the full 6–Phase 

public participation process. 

All comments should be submitted 

using the methods in Unit I. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, and must 

be received by EPA on or before the 

comment period deadline. Comments 

and proposals will become part of the 

official public docket for dimethoate. 

Comments received after the close of the 

comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’

EPA is not required to consider these 

late comments. 

After considering comments received, 

EPA will develop and issue for 

comment the dimethoate IRED. The 

decisions presented in this IRED may be 

supplemented by further risk mitigation 

measures when EPA considers its 

cumulative assessment of the 

organophosphate pesticides. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

53008 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2005 / Notices 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. 

This review is to be completed by 

August 3, 2006.
