Registration Review; Draft Human Health and/or Ecological Risk 
Assessments for Several Pesticides; Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's draft human 
health and/or ecological risk assessments for the registration review 
of asulam, chloroxylenol, dichlobenil, EPTC, etofenprox, gamma- and 
lambda-cyhalothrin, imidacloprid, indoxacarb, metribuzin, nitrapyrin, 
oxamyl, pendimethalin, permethrin, prometryn, pyrethrins, tau-
fluvalinate, and trifloxystrobin. 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. As part of the 
registration review process, the Agency has completed comprehensive 
draft human health and/or ecological risk assessments for all 
pesticides listed in the Table in Unit III. After reviewing comments 
received during the public comment period, EPA may issue a revised risk 
assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and 
respond to comments and may request public input on risk mitigation 
before completing a proposed registration review decision for the 
pesticides listed in the Table in Unit III. 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 November 13, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of 
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human 
health, farm worker, 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 
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions 
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, 
consult the Chemical Review Manager identified in the Table in Unit 
III.

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 email. 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 preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    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 pesticides 
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed 
in the Table in Unit III 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, 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) (7 U.S.C. 136a(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

    As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide 
registration for the pesticides listed in the Table to ensure that it 
continues to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, that 
these chemicals can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects 
on human health or the environment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is providing an opportunity, 
through this notice of availability, for interested parties to provide 
comments and input concerning the Agency's draft human health and/or 
ecological risk assessments for the pesticides listed in the Table in 
Unit III. Since an ecological risk assessment for the pyrethroids, 
including etofenprox, gamma-cyhalothrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, 
permethrin, pyrethrins, and tau-fluvalinate, was previously published 
for comment in the Federal Register in November 2016, this Notice is 
announcing the availability of the human health risk assessments for 
these chemicals. For imidacloprid, a preliminary pollinator only risk 
assessment was completed in January 2016 and an aquatic species only 
ecological risk assessment was completed in January 2017. Both of these 
were previously published for comment in the Federal Register and thus 
this Notice is announcing the availability of the human health 
assessment for imidacloprid. The Agency will consider all comments 
received during the public comment period and make changes, as 
appropriate, to a draft human health and/or ecological risk assessment. 
EPA may then issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to 
the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments. In the Federal 
Register notice announcing the availability of the revised risk 
assessment, if the revised risk assessment indicates risks of concern, 
the Agency may provide a comment period for the public to submit 
suggestions for mitigating the risk identified in the revised risk 
assessment before developing a proposed registration review decision 
for the pesticides identified above.
    1. 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.
