Carbaryl;
Availability
of
Risk
Assessment
AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.

SUMMARY:
This
notice
announces
the
availability
of
documents
that
were
developed
as
part
of
EPA's
process
for
making
pesticide
reregistration
eligibility
decisions
and
tolerance
reassessments
consistent
with
the
Federal
Food,
Drug,
and
Cosmetic
Act
(FFDCA),
as
amended
by
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
of
1996
(FQPA).
These
documents
are
the
human
health
and
environmental
fate
and
effects
risk
assessments
and
related
documents
for
carbaryl.
This
notice
also
starts
a
60–
day
public
comment
period
for
the
risk
assessments.
Comments
are
to
be
limited
to
issues
directly
associated
with
carbaryl
and
raised
by
the
risk
assessment
or
other
documents
placed
in
the
docket.
By
allowing
access
and
opportunity
for
comment
on
the
risk
assessment,
EPA
is
seeking
to
strengthen
stakeholder
involvement
and
help
ensure
that
our
decisions
under
FQPA
are
transparent
and
based
on
the
best
available
information.
The
tolerance
reassessment
process
will
ensure
that
the
United
States
continues
to
have
the
safest
and
most
abundant
food
supply.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
risk
assessments
for
carbaryl
are
preliminary
and
that
further
refinements
may
be
appropriate.
Risk
assessments
reflect
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
they
were
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
they
contain
may
change.

II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

EPA
is
making
available
risk
assessments
that
have
been
developed
as
part
of
the
Agency's
public
participation
process
for
making
reregistration
eligibility
and
tolerance
reassessment
decisions
for
the
organophosphate
and
other
pesticides
consistent
with
FFDCA,
as
amended
by
FQPA.
The
Agency's
human
health
and
environmental
fate
and
effects
risk
assessments
and
other
related
documents
for
carbaryl
are
available
in
the
individual
pesticide
docket.
As
additional
comments,
reviews,
and
risk
assessment
modifications
become
available,
these
will
also
be
docketed
for
carbaryl.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
carbaryl
risk
assessments
are
preliminary
and
that
further
refinements
may
be
appropriate.
Risk
assessment
documents
reflect
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
they
were
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
they
contain
may
change.
EPA
is
providing
an
opportunity,
through
this
notice,
for
interested
parties
to
provide
written
comments
and
input
to
the
Agency
on
the
risk
assessment
for
the
pesticide
specified
in
this
notice.
Such
comments
and
input
could
address,
for
example,
the
availability
of
additional
data
to
further
refine
the
risk
assessments,
such
as
percent
crop
treated
information
or
submission
of
residue
data
from
food
processing
studies,
or
could
address
the
Agency's
risk
assessment
methodologies
and
assumptions
as
applied
to
this
specific
chemical.
Comments
should
be
limited
to
issues
raised
within
the
risk
assessment
and
associated
documents.
EPA
will
provide
other
opportunities
for
public
comment
on
other
science
issues
associated
with
the
pesticide
tolerance
reassessment
program.
Failure
to
comment
on
any
such
issues
as
part
of
this
opportunity
will
in
no
way
prejudice
or
limit
a
commenter's
opportunity
to
participate
fully
in
later
notice
and
comment
processes.
All
comments
should
be
submitted
by
October
28,
2002
using
the
methods
in
Unit
I.
of
the
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
Comments
will
become
part
of
the
Agency
record
for
carbaryl.
