Siduron Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s Reregistration 

Eligibility Decision (RED) for the 

pesticide siduron, and opens a public 

comment period on this document. The 

Agency’s risk assessments and other 

related documents also are available in 

the siduron Docket. Siduron is a 

selective, systemic preemergence 

herbicide used to control annual grassy 

weeds in stands of cool season grasses, 

such as on lawns, on golf courses, and 

on sod farms. EPA has reviewed siduron 

through the public participation process 

that the Agency uses to involve the 

public in developing pesticide 

reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment decisions. Through these 

programs, EPA is ensuring that all 

pesticides meet current health and 

safety standards.

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Under section 4 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating 

existing pesticides to ensure that they 

meet current scientific and regulatory 

standards. EPA has completed a RED for 

the pesticide, siduron under section 

4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Siduron is a 

selective, systemic preemergence 

herbicide used to control annual grassy 

weeds in stands of cool season grasses, 

such as on lawns, on golf courses, and 

on sod farms. It may be applied in 

spring to newly planted grass or grass 

planted in the previous fall, or to 

established turf. Siduron was first 

registered in the early 1960s and has 

never been registered for any food uses. 

EPA has determined that the data base 

to support reregistration is substantially 

complete and that products containing 

siduron are eligible for reregistration, 

provided the risks are mitigated in the 

manner described in the RED. Upon 

submission of any required product 

specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) of 

FIFRA and any necessary changes to the 

registration and labeling (either to 

address concerns identified in the RED 

or as a result of product specific data), 

EPA will make a final reregistration 

decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) of 

FIFRA for products containing siduron. 

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, siduron was 

reviewed through the modified 4–Phase 

process. Through this process, EPA 

worked extensively with stakeholders 

and the public to reach the regulatory 

decisions for siduron. 

The reregistration program is being 

conducted under congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public. The 

Agency is issuing the siduron RED for 

public comment. This comment period 

is intended to provide an additional 

opportunity for public input and a 

mechanism for initiating any necessary 

amendments to the RED. All comments 

should be submitted using the methods 

in ADDRESSES, and must be received by 

EPA on or before the closing date. These 

comments will become part of the 

Agency Docket for siduron. Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

The Agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a Response to 

Comments Memorandum in the Docket 

and regulations.gov. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the siduron RED will 

be implemented as it is now presented. 

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.’’
