II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is releasing for public comment 

its human health and environmental 

fate and effects risk assessments and 

related documents for dicloran, and 

soliciting public comment on risk 

management ideas or proposals. 

Dicloran is a contact fungicide used on 

a broad variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts 

and ornamental plants. EPA developed 

the risk assessments and risk 

characterization for dicloran through a 

modified version 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). 

Dicloran is a fungicide registered for 

use on apricots, celery, cucumbers, 

endive, fennel, florence, garlic, grapes, 

lettuce, nectarines, onions, peaches, 

plums, potatoes, prunes, rhubarb, 

shallots, snap beans, sweet cherries, and 

sweet potatoes. The chief uses are on 

celery and lettuce. Along with preharvest uses, dicloran may also be 

applied post- harvest to fruits, carrots 

and sweet potatoes. In addition, it may 

be applied to ornamental plants in 

nursery settings. These crops consist of 

chrysanthemums, geraniums, roses, 

gladiolus, hydrangeas and conifers. 

There are no residential dicloran uses. 

EPA is providing an opportunity, 

through this notice, for interested 

parties to provide comments and input 

on the Agency’s risk assessments for 

dicloran. Such comments and input 

could address, for example, the 

availability of additional information to 

further refine the risk assessments, such 

as the pesticide degradation properties, 

residue decline (after application) 

information, human exposure 

information including incidents, and 

chronic ecotoxicity data to plants and 

animals, or could address the Agency’s 

risk assessment methodologies and 

assumptions as applied to this specific 

pesticide. 

Through this notice, EPA also is 

providing an opportunity for interested 

parties to provide risk management 

proposals or otherwise comment on risk 

management for dicloran. Risks of 

concern associated with the use of 

dicloran are: Chronic risks to mixers, 

loaders, and applicators for the crops 

with the highest potential seasonal 

application rates. These crops include 

celery, potatoes, florence, and fennel. 

Risks to agricultural workers re-entering 

treated areas for several crop groups are 

also identified, particularly for cut 

flowers and potted plants. Potential 

ecological risks identified included 

freshwater and estuarine/marine fish 

and amphibians, birds and reptiles, and 

mammals. Chronic risks to freshwater 

and estuarine/marine fish and 

invertebrates as well as aquatic vascular 

and nonvascular plants, and terrestrial 

and semi-aquatic plants could not be 

assessed because of a lack of data. In 

targeting these risks of concern, the 

Agency solicits information on effective 

and practical risk reduction measures. 

EPA seeks to achieve environmental 

justice, the fair treatment and 

meaningful involvement of all people, 

regardless of race, color, national origin, 

or income, 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, unusually high exposure to 

dicloran, compared to the general 

population. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

69554 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 16, 2005 / Notices 

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, the Agency 

is tailoring its public participation 

process to be commensurate with the 

level of risk, extent of use, complexity 

of the issues, and degree of public 

concern associated with each pesticide. 

For dicloran, a modified, 4–Phase 

process with one comment period and 

ample opportunity for public 

consultation seems appropriate in view 

of its limited use, and few complex 

issues. 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 

lengthen the process and include a 

second comment period, as needed. 

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 

closing date. Comments will become 

part of the Agency Docket for dicloran. 

Comments received after the close of the 

comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’

EPA is not required to consider these 

late comments. 

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 

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.
