 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
 ACTION: Notice.
 SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's interim registration review decision for the 22 sulfonylurea herbicide chemicals listed in the Table in Unit II of this Notice. It also announces the case closure for desmedipham (Case 2150 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-1044), Busan 1024 (case 5026 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0243), Bis (trichloromethyl) sulfone (BTS) (Case 2055 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0614), Perboric Acid (Case 5007 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0006), and profenofos (Case 2540 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0345) because all of the U.S. registrations for these pesticides have been canceled. 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 causing unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. 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.

                    *friedman.dana@epa.gov.* II. What action is the Agency taking? Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this notice announces the availability of EPA's interim registration review decision for the 22 sulfonylurea chemicals listed in the Table in Unit II. A single interim decision document covers all 22 chemicals and is being cross-posted in each of the public dockets identified in the Table in Unit II. 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 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the chemicals listed in the following Table in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The interim registration review decisions are supported by rationales included in the docket established for each chemical. In addition to the interim registration review decision document, the registration review docket for the chemicals listed in the Table also includes other relevant documents related to the registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration review decision was posted to the docket and the public was invited to submit any comments or new information.
