Registration Review; Boll Weevil 

Attractants Opened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established a 

registration review docket for Boll 

Weevil Attractants which is listed in the 

table in Unit III.A. With this document, 

EPA is opening the public comment 

period for this registration review. 

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, the pesticide can 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. Registration 

review dockets contain information that 

will assist the public in understanding 

the types of information and issues that 

the Agency may consider during the 

course of registration reviews. Through 

this 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 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 24, 2009, August 24,

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, 

farmworker, and agricultural advocates; 

the chemical industry; pesticide users; 

and members of the public interested in 

the sale, distribution, or use of 

pesticides. Since others also may be

CONTACT. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD-ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD-ROM the specific information that is 

claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

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. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low income populations, 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 or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticide 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. Authority 

EPA is initiating its review of the 

pesticide identified in this document 

pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural 

Regulations for Registration Review at 

40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) 

of FIFRA provides, among other things, 

that the registrations of pesticides are to 

be reviewed every 15 years. Under 

FIFRA section 3(a), a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5). When used in accordance with 

widespread and commonly recognized 

practice, the pesticide product must 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on the 

environment; that is, without any 

unreasonable risk to man or the 

environment, or a human dietary risk 

from residues that result from the use of 

a pesticide in or on food. 

III. Registration Reviews 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the pesticide 

registration identified in the table in this 

unit to assure that it continues to satisfy 

the FIFRA standard for registration— 

that is, it can still be used without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. A pesticide’s 

registration review begins when the 

Agency establishes a docket for the 

pesticide’s registration review case and 

opens the docket for public review and 

comment. At present, EPA is opening a 

registration review docket for the case 

identified in the following table.

B. Docket Content 

1. Review docket. The registration 

review docket contains information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. The Agency

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

The docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of this pesticide. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on this case, including the 

active ingredients for this case, may be 

located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s website at

registration_review. 

3. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

• As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 

registration review process; that is, until 

all actions required in the final decision 

on the registration review case have 

been completed.
