55842 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 

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 enduse 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 

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.

Measures and Goals 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

progress in meeting its performance 

measures and goals for pesticide 

reregistration during fiscal year 2004. 

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires EPA 

to publish information about EPA’s 

annual achievements in this area. This 

notice discusses the integration of 

tolerance reassessment with the 

reregistration process, and describes the 

status of various regulatory activities 

associated with reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment. The notice gives 

total numbers of chemicals and 

products reregistered, tolerances 

reassessed, Data Call-Ins issued, and 

products registered under the ‘‘fasttrack’’ provisions of FIFRA. Finally, this 

notice contains the schedule for 

completion of activities for specific 

chemicals during fiscal years 2005 

through 2008. 

DATES: This notice is not subject to a 

formal comment period. Nevertheless,

public docket. Where practical, physical 

objects will be photographed, and the 

photograph will be placed in EPA’s 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 55843 

electronic public docket along with a 

brief description written by the docket 

staff. 

C. How and to Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments 

electronically, by mail, or through hand 

delivery/courier. To ensure proper 

receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate 

docket ID number in the subject line on 

the first page of your comment. If you 

wish to submit CBI or information that 

is otherwise protected by statute, please 

follow the instructions in Unit I.D. Do 

not use EPA Dockets or e-mail to submit 

CBI or information protected by statute. 

1. Electronically. If you submit an 

electronic comment as prescribed in this 

unit, EPA recommends that you include 

your name, mailing address, and an 

e-mail address or other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment. Also include this contact 

information on the outside of any disk 

or CD ROM you submit, and in any 

cover letter accompanying the disk or 

CD ROM. This ensures that you can be 

identified as the submitter of the 

comment, and allows EPA to contact 

you in case EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties or 

needs further information on the 

substance of your comment. EPA’s 

policy is that EPA will not edit your 

comment, and any identifying or contact 

information provided in the body of a 

comment will be included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA’s 

electronic public docket to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets 

at http://www.epa.gov/edocket, and 

follow the online instructions for 

submitting comments. Once in the 

system, select ‘‘search,’’ and then key in 

docket ID number OPP–2005–0013. The 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, e-mail address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by 

e-mail to opp-docket@epa.gov,

identified in Unit I.B.1. 

D. How Should I Submit CBI To the 

Agency? 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI electronically 

through EPA’s electronic public docket 

or by e-mail. You may claim 

information that you submit to EPA as 

CBI by marking any part or all of that 

information as CBI (if you submit CBI 

on disk or CD ROM, 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 

CBI). Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

In addition to one complete version of 

the comment that includes any 

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 and EPA’s electronic public 

docket. If you submit the copy that does 

not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, 

mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM 

clearly that it does not contain CBI. 

Information not marked as CBI will be 

included in the public docket and EPA’s 

electronic public docket without prior 

notice. If you have any questions about 

CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, 

please consult the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

E. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide any technical information 

and/or data you used that support your 

views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at your 

estimate. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternatives. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

identify the appropriate docket ID 

number in the subject line on the first 

page of your response. It would also be 

helpful if you provided the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation related to 

your comments. 

II. Background 

EPA must establish and publish in the 

Federal Register its annual performance 

measures and goals for pesticide 

reregistration, tolerance reassessment, 

and expedited registration, under 

section 4(l) of FIFRA, as amended by the 

Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 

(FQPA). Specifically, such measures 

and goals are to include: 

• The status of reregistration. 

• The number of products 

reregistered, canceled, or amended. 

• The number and type of data 

requests or Data Call-In (DCI) notices 

under section 3(c)(2)(B) issued to 

support product reregistration by active 

ingredient. 

• Progress in reducing the number of 

unreviewed, required reregistration 

studies. 

• The aggregate status of tolerances 

reassessed. 

• The number of applications for 

registration submitted under subsection 

(k)(3), expedited processing and review 

of similar applications, that were 

approved or disapproved. 

• The future schedule for 

reregistrations in the current and 

succeeding fiscal year. 

• The projected year of completion 

of the reregistrations under section 4. 

FIFRA, as amended in 1988, 

authorizes EPA to conduct a 

comprehensive pesticide reregistration 

program--a complete review of the 

55844 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 

human health and environmental effects 

of older pesticides originally registered 

before November 1, 1984. Pesticides 

meeting today’s scientific and regulatory 

standards may be declared ‘‘eligible’’ for 

reregistration. To be eligible, an older 

pesticide must have a substantially 

complete data base, and must not cause 

unreasonable adverse effects to human 

health or the environment when used 

according to Agency approved label 

directions and precautions. 

In addition, all pesticides with food 

uses must meet the safety standard of 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 21 U.S.C. 

346a, as amended by the Food Quality 

Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. Under 

FFDCA, EPA must make a 

determination that pesticide residues 

remaining in or on food are ‘‘safe’’; that 

is, ‘‘that there is reasonable certainty 

that no harm will result from aggregate 

exposure to the pesticide chemical 

residue’’ from dietary and other sources. 

In determining allowable levels of 

pesticide residues in food, EPA must 

perform a more comprehensive 

assessment of each pesticide’s risks, 

considering: 

• Aggregate exposure (from food, 

drinking water, and residential uses). 

• Cumulative effects from all 

pesticides sharing a common 

mechanism of toxicity. 

• Possible increased susceptibility of 

infants and children; and 

• Possible endocrine or estrogenic 

effects. 

As amended by FQPA, FFDCA 

requires the reassessment of all existing 

tolerances (pesticide residue limits in 

food) and tolerance exemptions within 

10 years, to ensure that they meet the 

safety standard of the law. EPA was 

directed to give priority to the review of 

those pesticides that appear to pose the 

greatest risk to public health, and to 

reassess 33% of the 9,721 existing 

tolerances and exemptions within 3 

years (by August 3, 1999), 66% within 

6 years (by August 3, 2002), and 100% 

in 10 years (by August 3, 2006).The 

Agency met the first two statutory 

deadlines and is on schedule to meet 

the third. EPA’s approach to tolerance 

reassessment under FFDCA is described 

fully in the Agency’s document, ‘‘Raw 

and Processed Food Schedule for 

Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment’’ (62 

FR 42020, August 4, 1997) (FRL–5734–

6). 

The Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Act (PRIA) of 2003 

became effective on March 23, 2004. 

Among other things, PRIA directs EPA 

to complete Reregistration Eligibility 

Decisions (REDs) for pesticides with 

food uses/tolerances by August 3, 2006, 

and to complete all non-food use 

pesticide REDs by October 3, 2008. 

EPA’s schedule for meeting these 

deadlines are available on the Agency’s 

website atwww.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

reregistration/candidates.htm. 

III. FQPA and Program Accountability 

One of the hallmarks of the FQPA 

amendments to the FFDCA is enhanced 

accountability. Through this summary 

of performance measures and goals for 

pesticide reregistration, tolerance 

reassessment, and expedited 

registration, EPA describes progress 

made during the past year in each of the 

program areas included in FIFRA 

section 4(l). 

A. Status of Reregistration 

During fiscal year (FY) 2004 (from 

October 1, 2003, through September 30, 

2004), EPA made significant progress in 

completing risk assessments and risk 

management decisions for pesticide 

reregistration (See Table 1).

The Agency’s decisions are embodied 

in Reregistration Eligibility Decision 

(RED) documents, Interim Reregistration 

Eligibility Decisions (IREDs), and 

Reports on FQPA Tolerance 

Reassessment Progress and [Interim] 

Risk Management Decisions (TREDs). 

1. REDs. Through the reregistration 

program, EPA is reviewing current 

scientific data for older pesticides (those 

initially registered before November 

1984), reassessing their effects on 

human health and the environment, and 

requiring risk mitigation measures as 

necessary. Pesticides that have 

sufficient supporting data and whose 

risks can be successfully mitigated may 

be declared ‘‘eligible’’ for reregistration. 

EPA presents these pesticide findings in 

a RED document. 

i. Overall RED progress. EPA’s overall 

progress at the end of FY 2004 in 

completing Reregistration Eligibility 

Decisions (REDs) for groups of related 

pesticide active ingredients or cases is 

summarized in Table 2. 

TABLE 2.—OVERALL RED PROGRESS, 

FY 1991 THROUGH FY 2004 

REDs completed 244 (40%) 

Cases canceled 231 (38%) 

REDs to be completed 137 (22%) 

Total reregistration cases 612 

(100%) 

ii. Profile of completed REDs. A 

profile of the 244 REDs completed by 

the end of FY 2004 is presented in Table 

3.

Post-FQPA REDs 103 

Post-FQPA REDs with food

75 

*EPA is revisiting tolerances associated with 

the 53 food use REDs that were completed 

before FQPA was enacted to ensure that they 

meet the safety standard of the new law, as 

set forth in the Agency’s August 4, 1997, 

Schedule for Pesticide Tolerance 

Reassessment. 

iii. Risk reduction in REDs. Through 

the reregistration program, EPA seeks to 

reduce risks associated with the use of 

older pesticides. In developing REDs, 

EPA works with stakeholders including 

pesticide registrants, growers and other 

pesticide users, and environmental and 

public health interests, as well as the 

States, USDA, and other Federal 

agencies and others to develop measures 

to effectively reduce risks of concern. 

Almost every RED includes some 

measures or modifications to reduce 

risks. The options for such risk 

reduction are extensive and include 

voluntary cancellation of pesticide 

products or deletion of uses; declaring 

certain uses ineligible or not yet eligible 

(and then proceeding with follow-up 

action to cancel the uses or require 

additional supporting data); restricting 

use of products to certified applicators; 

limiting the amount or frequency of use; 

improving use directions and 

precautions; adding more protective 

clothing and equipment requirements; 

requiring special packaging or 

engineering controls; requiring notreatment buffer zones; employing 

ground water, surface water, or other 

environmental and ecological 

safeguards; and other measures. 

2. Interim REDs or IREDs. EPA issues 

IREDs for pesticides that are undergoing 

reregistration, require a reregistration 

eligibility decision, and also must be 

included in a cumulative assessment 

under FQPA because they are part of a 

group of pesticides that share a common 

mechanism of toxicity. An IRED is 

issued for each individual pesticide in 

the cumulative group when EPA 

completes the pesticide’s risk 

assessment and interim risk 

management decision. An IRED may 

include measures to reduce food, 

drinking water, residential, 

occupational, and/or ecological risks, to 

gain the benefit of these changes before 

the final RED can be issued following 

the Agency’s consideration of 

cumulative risks. For example, EPA 

generally has not considered individual 

organophosphate (OP) pesticide 

decisions to be completed REDs or 

tolerance reassessments. Instead, the 

Agency is issuing IREDs for these 

chemicals at this time. EPA will 

complete the risk assessments and 

reregistration eligibility decisions for OP 

pesticides with IREDs, once the Agency 

completes a cumulative assessment of 

the OPs. 

3. Tolerance reassessment ‘‘TREDs.’’

EPA issues Reports on FFDCA 

Tolerance Reassessment Progress and 

[Interim] Risk Management Decisions, 

55846 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 

known as TREDs, for pesticides that 

require tolerance reassessment decisions 

under FFDCA, but do not require a 

reregistration eligibility decision at 

present because: 

• The pesticide was first registered 

after November 1, 1984, and is 

considered a ‘‘new’’ active ingredient, 

not subject to reregistration; 

• EPA completed a RED for the 

pesticide before FQPA was enacted; or 

• The pesticide is not registered for 

use in the U.S. but tolerances are 

established that allow crops treated with 

the pesticide to be imported from other 

countries. 

As with IREDs, EPA will not complete 

risk assessment and risk management 

for pesticides subject to TREDs that are 

part of a cumulative group until 

cumulative risks have been considered 

for the group. 

During FY 2004, in addition to 

completing 18 TREDs, EPA also 

completed 27 tolerance assessment 

decisions for pesticide inert ingredients 

that are exempted from the tolerance 

requirement. Almost 900 of the 9,721 

tolerance reassessment decisions 

required by the amended FFDCA are for 

such inert ingredient tolerance 

exemptions. EPA has reassessed 404 of 

these inert ingredient tolerance 

exemptions to date, and plans to 

complete the reassessment of all the 

inert ingredient tolerance exemptions by 

August 2006. 

As a result of the Food Quality 

Protection Act of 1996, food-contact 

surface sanitizers previously regulated 

by both EPA and the Food and Drug 

Administration were transferred to 

EPA’s sole jurisdiction. Consequently, 

the approximately 107 ingredients that 

made up these sanitizer solutions in 21 

CFR 178.1010 were transferred to 40 

CFR part 180, subpart D. In addition to 

reassessing the 9,721 tolerances and 

exemptions for food and feed 

commodities, EPA also must reassess 

these sanitizer tolerance exemptions by 

August 3, 2006. The Antimicrobials 

Division (AD) in EPA’s Office of 

Pesticide Programs is responsible for 

reassessing exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance for the foodcontact surface sanitizing solutions 

requiring reassessment. AD is 

reassessing 60 of the 107 exemptions, 

either as free-standing decisions or 

through REDs. During FY 2004, AD 

completed tolerance exemption 

reassessments for 14 of these 60 foodcontact surface sanitizing solution 

ingredients. EPA is reassessing tolerance 

exemptions for the other food-contact 

surface sanitizing solutions through 

other REDs and inert exemption 

decisions. 

4. Goals for FY 2005 and future years. 

EPA’s major pesticide reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment goals for FY 

2005 and future years are as follows. 

i. Complete individual pesticide risk 

management decisions. EPA’s goal in 

conducting the reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment program is to 

complete 30–40 Reregistration 

Eligibility Decisions (REDs) and Interim 

REDs each year during fiscal years 2005 

and 2006, for pesticides with associated 

tolerances, and to complete a total of 40 

REDs in FY 2007 and in FY 2008 for 

pesticides with no food uses or 

tolerances. This will satisfy PRIA 

requirements and support the Agency’s 

tolerance reassessment goal. EPA’s 

schedule for completing these decisions 

appears near the end of this document, 

and also is available on the Agency’s 

website at http://www.epa.gov/ 

pesticides/reregistration/ 

candidates.htm. 

ii. Complete 100% of tolerance 

reassessment decisions. EPA is 

continuing to reassess tolerances within 

time frames set forth in FFDCA as 

amended by FQPA, giving priority to 

those food use pesticides that appear to 

pose the greatest risk. Integration of the 

reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment programs has added 

complexity to the reregistration process 

for food use pesticides. The Agency 

successfully reached its first two 

tolerance reassessment milestones by 

completing over 33% of all tolerance 

reassessment decisions by August 3, 

1999, and over 66% by August 3, 2002. 

EPA plans to meet the final FQPA 

tolerance reassessment goal: To 

complete 100% of all required tolerance 

reassessment decisions by August 3, 

2006. 

iii. Evaluate cumulative risks. Once 

EPA completes individual risk 

assessments for the OPs, carbamates and 

others, the Agency will make 

cumulative risk findings for each of 

these common mechanism groups of 

pesticides. For further information, see 

EPA’s cumulative risk website, http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/. 

B. Product Reregistration; Numbers of 

Products Reregistered, Canceled, and 

Amended 

At the end of the reregistration 

process, after EPA has issued a RED and 

declared a pesticide reregistration case 

eligible for reregistration, individual 

end-use products that contain pesticide 

active ingredients included in the case 

still must be reregistered. This 

concluding part of the reregistration 

process is called ‘‘product 

reregistration.’’

In issuing a completed RED 

document, EPA sends registrants a Data 

Call-In (DCI) notice requesting any 

product-specific data and specific 

revised labeling needed to complete 

reregistration for each of the individual 

pesticide products covered by the RED. 

Based on the results of EPA’s review of 

these data and labeling, products found 

to meet FIFRA and FFDCA standards 

may be reregistered. 

A variety of outcomes are possible for 

pesticide products completing this final 

phase of the reregistration process. 

Ideally, in response to the DCI notice 

accompanying the RED document, the 

pesticide producer, or registrant, will 

submit the required product-specific 

data and revised labeling, which EPA 

will review and find acceptable. At that 

point, the Agency may reregister the 

pesticide product. If, however, the 

product contains multiple active 

ingredients, the Agency instead issues 

an amendment to the product’s 

registration, incorporating the labeling 

changes specified in the RED; a product 

with multiple active ingredients may 

not be fully reregistered until the last 

active ingredient in its formulation is 

eligible for reregistration. In other 

situations, the Agency may temporarily 

suspend a product’s registration if the 

registrant has not submitted required 

product-specific studies within the time 

frame specified. The Agency may cancel 

a product’s registration because the 

registrant did not pay the required 

registration maintenance fee. 

Alternatively, the registrant may request 

a voluntary cancellation of their end-use 

product registration. 

1. Product reregistration actions in FY 

2004. EPA counts each of the post-RED 

product outcomes described above as a 

product reregistration action. A single 

pesticide product may be the subject of 

several product reregistration actions 

within the same year. For example, a 

product’s registration initially may be 

amended, then the product may be 

reregistered, and later the product may 

be voluntarily canceled, all within the 

same year. During FY 2004, EPA 

completed the product reregistration 

actions detailed in Table 4.

2. Status of the product reregistration 

universe. The status of the universe of 

pesticide products subject to 

reregistration at the end of FY 2004 is 

shown in Table 5 below. This overall 

status information is not ‘‘cumulative’’- 

-it is not derived from summing up a 

series of annual actions. Adding annual 

actions would result in a larger overall 

number since each individual product is 

subject to multipleactions--it can be 

amended, reregistered, and/or canceled, 

over time. Instead, the ‘‘big picture’’

status information in Table 5 should be 

considered a snapshot in time. As 

registrants and EPA make marketing and 

regulatory decisions in the future, the 

status of individual products may 

change, and numbers in this table are 

expected to fluctuate. 

TABLE 5.—STATUS OF THE UNIVERSE

OF PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO PRODUCT REREGISTRATION, FOR FY 2004 

(AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004)

Products sent for suspension 30 

Total products with actions

Products with actions pending 4,143 

Total products in product reregistration universe 10,403 

The universe of 10,403 products in 

product reregistration at the end of FY 

2004 represented an increase of 747 

products from the FY 2003 universe of 

9,656 products. The increase consists of 

713 products associated with FY 2004 

REDs, and 34 products that were added 

as a result of DCI activities and 

processing for several previously issued 

REDs and IREDs. 

At the end of FY 2004, 4,143 products 

had product reregistration decisions 

pending. Some pending products await 

science reviews, label reviews, or 

reregistration decisions by EPA. Others 

are not yet ready for product 

reregistration actions; they are 

associated with more recently 

completed REDs, and their productspecific data are not yet due to be 

submitted to or reviewed by the Agency. 

EPA’s goal is to complete 450 product 

reregistration actions during fiscal year 

2005. 

C. Number and Type of DCIs to Support 

Product Reregistration by Active 

Ingredient 

1. DCIs for REDs. The number and 

type of Data Call-In requests or DCIs that 

EPA is preparing to issue under FIFRA 

section 3(c)(2)(B) to support product 

reregistration for pesticide active 

ingredients included in FY 2004 REDs 

are shown in Table 6.

1The number of registered products containing a pesticide active ingredient can change over time. The product total that appears in the RED 

document (counted when the RED is signed) may be different than the number of products that EPA is tracking for product reregistration 

(counted later, when the RED is issued). This table reflects the final number of products associated with each RED, as they are being tracked 

for product reregistration. 2This column shows the number of product chemistry studies that are required for each product covered by the RED. 

3 In an effort to reduce the time, resources, and number of animals needed to fulfill acute toxicity data requirements, EPA ‘‘batches’’ products 

that can be considered similar from an acute toxicity standpoint. For example, one batch could contain five products. In this instance, if six 

acute toxicology studies usually were required per product, only six studies (rather than 30 studies) would be required for the entire batch. Factors considered in the sorting process include each product’s active and inert ingredients (e.g., identity, percent composition, and biological activity), type of formulation (e.g., emulsifiable concentrate, aerosol, wettable powder, granular), and labeling (e.g., signal word, use classification, 

precautionary labeling). The Agency does not describe batched products as ‘‘substantially similar,’’ because all products within a batch may not 

be considered chemically similar or have identical use patterns.(Note: FIFRA section 24(c) or Special Local Need (SLN) registrations are not 

included in the acute toxicity batchings because they are supported by a valid parent product (section 3) registration.) 

2. DCIs for IREDs. EPA completed no 

IREDs during FY 2004. 

3. DCIs not needed for TREDs. The 

Agency does not issue product-specific 

data requests or DCIs for pesticides 

included in tolerance reassessment 

decisions or TREDs because, at present, 

these pesticides do not require product 

reregistration decisions; they are subject 

to tolerance reassessment only. 

D. Progress in Reducing the Number of 

Unreviewed, Required Reregistration 

Studies 

EPA has made making progress in 

reviewing scientific studies submitted 

by pesticide registrants in support of 

pesticides undergoing reregistration 

(See Table 7). The percent of studies 

reviewed by EPA remained constant in 

FY 2004.

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 55849 

E. Aggregate Status of Tolerances 

Reassessed 

During FY 2004, EPA completed 467 

tolerance reassessments and ended the 

fiscal year with a total of 7,093 tolerance 

reassessment decisions to date, 

addressing 73% of the 9,721 tolerances 

that require reassessment (See Table 8). 

EPA reassessed over 33% of all food 

tolerances by August 3, 1999, and 

completed over 66% of all required 

tolerance reassessment decisions by 

August 3, 2002, meeting two important 

statutory deadlines established by the 

FQPA. EPA’s general schedule for 

tolerance reassessment (62 FR 42020, 

August 4, 1997) identified three groups 

of pesticides to be reviewed; this 

grouping continues to reflect the 

Agency’s overall scheduling priorities. 

In completing tolerance reassessment, 

EPA continues to give priority to 

pesticides in Group 1, the Agency’s 

highest priority group for reassessment. 

1. Aggregate accomplishments 

through reregistration and other 

programs. EPA is accomplishing 

tolerance reassessment through the 

registration and reregistration programs; 

by revoking tolerances for pesticides 

that have been canceled (many as a 

result of reregistration); by reevaluating 

pesticides with pre-FQPA REDs, and 

through other decisions not directly 

related to registration or reregistration, 

described further below. EPA is using 

the Tolerance Reassessment Tracking 

System (TORTS) to compile this 

updated information and report on the 

status of tolerance reassessment (See 

Table 8).

* Includes corrected counts for some previous years. 

i. Reregistration/REDs. EPA is using 

the reregistration program to accomplish 

much of tolerance reassessment. For 

each of the tolerance reassessment 

decisions made through REDs since 

enactment of the FQPA, the Agency has 

made the finding as to whether there is 

a reasonable certainty of no harm, as 

required by FFDCA. Many tolerances 

reassessed through reregistration remain 

the same while others may be raised, 

lowered, or revoked. 

ii. Tolerance reassessments/TREDs. 

Tolerances initially evaluated through 

REDs that were completed before FQPA 

was enacted in August 1996 now are 

being reassessed to ensure that they 

meet the new FFDCA safety standard. 

EPA issues these post-RED tolerance 

reassessment decisions as TREDs. The 

Agency also issues TREDs summarizing 

tolerance reassessment decisions for 

some developing REDs, for new 

pesticide active ingredients not subject 

to reregistration, and for pesticides with 

import tolerances only. Tolerance 

reassessments for pesticides that are not 

part of a cumulative group may be 

counted at present and are included in 

the FY 2004 accomplishments. 

Tolerance reassessments for pesticides 

that are part of a cumulative group are 

not included in the Agency’s lists of 

accomplishments. These tolerances will 

be considered again and their 

reassessment will be completed after 

EPA completes a cumulative risk 

evaluation for the group. 

iii. Registration. Like older pesticides, 

all new pesticide registrations must 

meet the safety standard of FFDCA. 

Many of the registration applications 

EPA receives are for new uses of 

pesticides already registered for other 

uses. To reach a decision on a proposed 

new food use of an already registered 

pesticide, EPA must reassess the 

aggregate risk of the the existing 

tolerances, as well as the proposed new 

tolerances, to make sure there is 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to the public from aggregate 

exposure from all uses. 

iv. Tolerance revocations. Revoked 

tolerances represent uses of many 

different pesticide active ingredients 

that have been canceled in the past. 

Some pesticides were canceled due to 

the Agency’s risk concerns. Others were 

canceled voluntarily by their 

manufacturers, based on lack of support 

for reregistration. Tolerance revocations 

are important even if there are no 

domestic uses of a pesticide because 

residues in or on imported commodities 

treated with the chemical could still 

present dietary risks that may exceed 

the FFDCA ‘‘reasonable certainty of no 

harm’’ standard, either individually or 

cumulatively with other substances that 

share a common mechanism of toxicity. 

v. Other reassessment decisions. In 

addition to the types of reassessment 

actions described above, a total of 1,182 

additional tolerance reassessment 

decisions have been made, some for 

inert ingredient tolerance exemptions, 

through actions not directly related to 

registration or reregistration. A list of 

these other tolerance reassessment 

decisions with their Federal Register 

citations is available in the docket for 

this Federal Register notice. Other 

support documents are available in 

docket ID number OPP–2002–0162. 

2. Accomplishments for priority 

pesticides. During FY 2004, EPA 

completed tolerance reassessment 

decisions for many high priority 

pesticides in review, including OPs, 

carbamates, organochlorines, and 

carcinogens (See Table 9). 

55850 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 

TABLE 9.—TOLERANCE REASSESSMENTS COMPLETED FOR PRIORITY PESTICIDES

Carbamates 545 309 (56.7%) 

Carcinogens 2,008 1,425 (70.97%)

Organochlorines 253 253 (100%) 

Organophosphates (OPs) 1,691 1,131 (66.88%) 

Other 5,219 3,970 (76.07%) 

Total 9,721 7,093 (72.97%) 

3. Tolerance reassessment and the 

organophosphates. EPA developed an 

approach for assessing cumulative risk 

for the OP pesticides as a group, as 

required by FFDCA, and applied this 

methodology in conducting an OP 

cumulative risk assessment. The Agency 

issued preliminary and revised OP 

cumulative risk assessment documents 

in December 2001 and June 2002, 

available on EPA’s website at http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. 

Through this assessment of the OP 

pesticides, EPA has evaluated several 

hundred OP tolerances and found that 

most require no modification to meet 

the new FFDCA safety standard. The 

Agency’s regulatory actions on 

individual OP pesticides during the past 

few years have substantially reduced the 

risks of these pesticides. EPA plans to 

complete IREDs for the three remaining 

individual OP pesticides (DDVP, 

dimethoate, and malathion) in FY 2006. 

Most of the reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment decisions that 

EPA has made for the OP pesticides will 

not be considered complete until after 

the Agency concludes its cumulative 

evaluation of the OPs. The results of 

individual OP assessments (IRED and 

TRED documents) include significant 

risk mitigation measures, however, and 

any resulting tolerance revocations are 

counted as completed tolerance 

reassessments. In addition, some OP 

tolerances that make at most a minimal 

or negligible contribution to the 

cumulative risk from OP pesticides were 

counted as reassessed during FY 2002. 

Once EPA completes a cumulative 

evaluation of the OPs, the Agency will 

reconsider individual OP IREDs and 

TREDs, and complete reregistration 

eligibility and tolerance reassessment 

decisions for these pesticides. 

F. Applications for Registration 

Requiring Expedited Processing; 

Numbers Approved and Disapproved 

By law, EPA must expedite its 

processing of certain types of 

applications for pesticide product 

registration, i.e., applications for end 

use products that would be identical or 

substantially similar to a currently 

registered product; amendments to 

current product registrations that do not 

require review of scientific data; and 

products for public health pesticide 

uses. During FY 2004, EPA considered 

and approved the numbers of 

applications for registration requiring 

expedited processing (also known as 

‘‘fast track’’ applications) shown in 

Table 10. 

TABLE 10.—FAST TRACK APPLICATIONS APPROVED IN FY 2004 

Me-too product registrations/Fast track 328 

Amendments/Fast track 4,379 

Total applications processed by fast track means 4,707 

For those applications not approved, 

the Agency generally notifies the 

registrant of any deficiencies in the 

application that need to be corrected or 

addressed before the application can be 

approved. Applications may have been 

withdrawn after discussions with the 

Agency, but none were formally 

‘‘disapproved’’ during FY 2004. 

On a financial accounting basis, EPA 

devoted over 32.7 full-time equivalents 

(FTEs) in FY 2004 to reviewing and 

processing applications for fast track 

me-too product registrations and label 

amendments. The Agency spent 

approximately $3.6 million in FY 2004 

in direct costs (i.e., time on task, not 

including administrative expenses, 

computer systems, management 

overhead, and other indirect costs) on 

expedited processing and reviews. 

G. Future Schedule for Reregistrations 

EPA plans to complete tolerance 

reassessment by August 3, 2006, as 

required by FFDCA, and also to 

complete reregistration eligibility 

decisions for pesticides with food uses 

by that date. REDs for pesticides that 

have no food uses or tolerances will be 

completed by October 3, 2008. The 

Agency’s schedule for completing these 

decisions is as follows. This schedule 

also is available on EPA’s website at 

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

reregistration/candidates.htm. 

1. RED, IRED, and TRED Schedules 

for FY 2005 and FY 2006. Lists 1 and 

2 contain pesticides scheduled for 

Reregistration Eligibility Decisions 

(REDs), Interim REDs (IREDs), and 

Reports on FQPA Tolerance 

Reassessment Progress and Risk 

Management Decisions (TREDs) in FY 

2005 and FY 2006. Although these lists 

may change due to the dynamic nature 

of the review process, EPA is committed 

to meeting the reregistration and 

tolerance reassessment deadlines. Any 

pesticides for which decisions are not 

completed during the current fiscal year 

will be rescheduled for decisions the 

following year.

H. Projected Year of Completion of 

Reregistrations 

EPA generally is conducting 

reregistration in conjunction with 

tolerance reassessment, which FFDCA 

mandates be completed by August 2006. 

EPA plans to meet the statutory 

deadline for completing tolerance 

reassessment, and in so doing, to 

complete reregistration eligibility 

decisions for pesticides with tolerances, 

as required by PRIA. The Agency 

expects to complete remaining 

reregistration eligibility decisions for 

pesticides with no food uses or 

tolerances during FY 2007 and FY 2008 

(by October 3, 2008).
