Notices
and
opportunities
for
stakeholder
consultation.
EPA
worked
extensively
with
affected
parties
to
reach
the
decisions
presented
in
the
interim
risk
management
decision
document,
which
conclude
the
pilot
public
participation
process
for
dicrotophos.
As
part
of
the
pilot
public
participation
process,
numerous
opportunities
for
public
comment
were
offered
as
the
interim
risk
management
decision
document
was
being
developed.
The
dicrotophos
interim
risk
management
decision
document
therefore
is
issued
without
a
formal
public
comment
period
concluding
review
of
the
individual
organophosphate
pesticide.
The
docket
remains
open,
however,
and
any
comments
submitted
in
the
future
will
be
placed
in
the
public
docket.
The
risk
assessments
for
dicrotophos
were
released
to
the
public
through
notices
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
November
10,
1999
(

FR
61332)
(
FRL
 
6393

and
June
14,
2000
(
65
FR
37371)
(
FRL
 
6593
 
4).
EPA's
next
step
under
FQPA
is
to
complete
a
cumulative
risk
assessment
and
risk
management
decision
for
the
organophosphate
pesticides,
which
share
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity.
The
interim
risk
management
decision
document
on
dicrotophos
cannot
be
considered
final
until
this
cumulative
assessment
is
complete.
When
the
cumulative
risk
assessment
for
the
organophosphate
pesticides
has
been
completed,
EPA
will
issue
its
final
tolerance
reassessment
decision
for
dicrotophos
and
further
risk
mitigation
measures
may
be
needed.
