SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is

required by law to reregister existing
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 15, 1996 / Notices 24491

pesticides that originally were registered

years ago when the standards for

government approval were less stringent

than they are today. This

comprehensive reevaluation of pesticide

safety is critical to protecting human

health and the environment. In 1988,

Congress amended the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA) to strengthen and accelerate

EPA’s reregistration program. The

reregistration scheme mandated by

‘‘FIFRA ’88’’ applies to each registered

pesticide product containing an active

ingredient initially registered before

November 1, 1984.

In 1988 approximately 600 groups of

related pesticide active ingredients, or

‘‘cases,’’ representing 1,150 active

ingredients in 45,000 formulated

products, required reevaluation. Of

those, over 200 cases and 20,000

products have been cancelled because

the producers failed to support them or

EPA has taken regulatory action to

cancel them. Of the remaining 382 cases

being supported, EPA has made

reregistration eligibility decisions on

129 cases, to date.

In reviewing pesticides for

reregistration, EPA gathers a

substantially complete set of data on

each chemical case, examines related

health and environmental effects, and

employs measures to most effectively

mitigate risks. This evaluation and risk

mitigation process is complete when

EPA is satisfied that the pesticide(s),

used in accordance with approved

labeling, will not pose unreasonable

risks to human health or the

environment.

EPA’s regulatory conclusion about

each case is presented in a RED

document. Later, once product-specific

data and revised labeling are submitted

to EPA and approved, the Agency

reregisters products containing the

eligible pesticide(s). A pesticide product

is not reregistered, however, until all of

its active ingredients are eligible for

reregistration.

EPA completed 40 REDs in fiscal year

1995 (FY ’95). (The federal

government’s fiscal year begins on

October 1 and ends on September 30 of

the named year.) Several of the FY ’95

RED documents, while signed, still are

undergoing in house processing

including printing. Copies of most, but

not all, of these REDs are available. The

FY ’95 REDs follow:

Agrobacterium Radiobacter

Aliphatic Alcohols

Alkyl Imidazolines

Amitraz

Ancymidol

Asulam

Benzocaine

BHAP

Bis(trichloromethyl) Sulfone

Bronopol

Terbuthylazine

Tetrachlorvinphos

Trichlorfon

Trifluralin

During FY ’96, EPA’s goal is to

complete 40 REDs from the following

list of 50 candidate pesticide

reregistration cases. The Agency

believes it has a substantially complete

data base regarding the human health

and environmental effects of each of

these pesticides. However, due to the

complexities involved in refining risk

mitigation measures, and available

Agency resources, EPA’s goal is to

complete REDs for only 40 of these 50

candidates, this year.

Alachlor

Aldicarb

Amitrole

B. popilliae & B. lentimorb

Bromacil

Bromadiolone

Bromethalin

EPA’s goal is to complete an

additional 40 REDs during FY ’97.

These most likely will consist of some

FY ’96 RED candidates from the list

above, plus other RED candidates from

the two lists below. The first list below

contains 17 pesticide reregistration

cases for which the Agency already has

begun to develop scientific assessments.

Benomyl

Bromoxynil

Butralin

Cypermethrin

DEF

Dimethoate

Fluvalinate

Fonofos

Methidathion

Oxamyl

Oxyfluorfen

PCNB

Permethrin

Sulprofos

Thiobencarb

Thiodicarb

Triclopyr

EPA expects to have complete data

sets in FY ’97 for the following pesticide

reregistration cases, but has not yet

scheduled scientific assessments or

REDs for these cases. Due to the limited

Agency resources available to make

reregistration eligibility decisions,

EPA’s goal is to complete a total of

about 40 REDs during the next fiscal

year. In addition to the cases listed

above, science reviews will be

completed for some of the cases listed

below, in preparation for REDs in future

years.

The public is invited to submit

information to assist the Agency in

prioritizing the following pesticides for

reregistration eligibility decisions in FY

’97. EPA is interested in knowing which

of these pesticides are of the greatest

interest or concern to the public from a

human health or environmental

perspective, and why, so that our
24492 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 15, 1996 / Notices

limited resources may be focused most

effectively.

Of these pesticides, those that the

Agency believes may pose high dietary,

occupational, or residential exposure or

risk are ones that the Agency would give

priority to in its reregistration

evaluation. Therefore, information of

particular value to the Agency in

prioritizing these FY ’97 candidates

should relate to exposure and risks from

use of the chemicals.
