AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s final registration 

review decision for the pesticide LLactic Acid, case 6062. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that 

each pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, that the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without causing

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this 

notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for L-Lactic Acid, case 6062. L-Lactic 

Acid is a low-toxicity acid that occurs 

naturally in several foods and is 

primarily found in fermented milk 

products. However, L-Lactic Acid also 

occurs naturally in meats, fruits, tomato 

juice, beer, wine, molasses, blood and 

muscles of animals, and in the soil. LLactic Acid is registered as a 

biochemical pesticide used as a 

mosquito attractant (in traps). In 

addition, L-Lactic Acid is also used as 

an antimicrobial disinfectant, indirect 

food contact surface sanitizer, fungicide, 

and virucide when applied to hard, nonporous surfaces such as tile, 

countertops, metal, or glass. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered L-Lactic Acid in light of 

the FIFRA standard for registration. The 

L-Lactic Acid Final Decision document 

in the docket describes the Agency’s 

rationale for issuing a registration 

review final decision for this pesticide. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision document, the 

registration review docket for L-Lactic 

Acid also includes other relevant 

documents related to the registration 

review of this case. The proposed 

registration review decision was posted 

to the docket and the public was invited 

to submit any comments or new 

information. During the 60–day 

comment period, no public comments 

were received. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the 

registration review case docket for LLactic Acid will remain open until all 

actions required in the final decision 

have been completed.

program is provided at: http://
