Permethrin; Second Revision to 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

decision to modify the 2006 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) 

for the pesticide permethrin based on 

the revised occupational and residential 

(ORE) risk assessment. EPA conducted 

this reassessment of the permethrin RED 

in response to new data submitted by 

the Consumer Specialty Product 

Association, Permethrin Dermal 

Absorption Group. Based on the new 

data received, the Agency has revised 

the ORE risk assessment and the 

permethrin RED, appropriately. In 

addition, the Agency revised the 

permethrin label table to reflect the 

updated labeling for permethrin 

residential, agricultural, and wide area 

public health use products.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

directs EPA to reevaluate existing 

pesticides to ensure that they meet 

current scientific and regulatory 

standards. In April 2006, EPA issued a 

reregistration eligibility decision (RED) 

for permethrin under section 4(g)(2)(A) 

of FIFRA. The 2006 permethrin RED 

was first revised in December 2007 

based on public comments and postRED activities. However, the Agency has 

completed this most recent RED 

revision following receipt of a new 

study, Estimated Dermal Penetration in 

Humans Based on In Vitro and In Vivo 

Data, submitted by the Consumer 

Specialty Products Association, 

Permethrin Dermal Absorption Group. 

The amended permethrin RED reflects 

changes resulting from Agency 

consideration of the new data, as well 

as efforts by the Agency to appropriately 

mitigate overall risk. 

The new data served to revise the 

dermal absorption factor relied upon in 

the cancer portion of the occupational 

and residential exposure (ORE) risk 

assessment from 15% to 5.7%. The 

revised RED captures the recent ORE 

cancer risk assessment, and also 

modifies the required risk mitigation 

appropriately. The Agency has also 

revised the RED document to reflect the 

current status of Office of Pesticide 

Program initiatives, such as the 

cumulative risk assessment and the 

Endangered Species Program. Further, 

in addition to the revised risk 

mitigation, which is captured in the 

Summary of Labeling Changes for 

Permethrin (label table), the Agency has 

incorporated a number of revisions to 

the label table to reflect updates in 

labeling on permethrin residential, 

agricultural, and wide area public 

health use products. 

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.’’
