Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

During
fiscal
years
1998
 
2002,
EPA
published
Notices
in
the
Federal
Register
announcing
the
availability
of
RED
and
TRED
documents
for
a
number
of
pesticides
concluding
reregistration
and
tolerance
reassessments.
This
notice
constitutes
and
announces
the
closing
of
the
comment
periods
for
the
pesticides
listed
below.
Thirty
and
60
 
day
comment
periods
have
closed
for
each
chemical.
Because
EPA
did
not
receive
any
significant
adverse
comments,
the
Agency
considers
the
RED
and
TRED
for
the
pesticides
as
final
decisions
and
hereby
closed.
