II. Background

During fiscal years 1990-1998, EPA published Notices in the Federal Register announcing the availability of RED documents for the listed pesticide active ingredients. These REDs were issued as final documents, with a 60-day comment period. In these REDs, EPA provided its regulatory position on the current registered uses of these pesticides and set forth certain requirements for product reregistration eligibility. No comments were submitted for the following REDs: Acetic acid and salts, aliphatic alcohols, fosetyl-al, asulam, bis(trichloromethyl)sulfon, M-cresol, dacthal, difenzoquat, ethalfluralin, fosamine ammonium, HPMTS, methomyl, Na and Ca hypochlorites, terbuthylazine, thiodicarb, and triclopyr. Comments were submitted for the following RED documents but did not significantly affect EPA's regulatory position: Furanone, hexazinone, methylisothiazolinone, metribuzin, telone, propachlor, and terbacil. The NTIS publication number for the REDs subject to this notice are presented below.
