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

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
