SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency has issued Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) documents for the pesticidal active
ingredients listed above. Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act, as amended in 1988, EPA is conducting an accelerated
reregistration program to reevaluate existing pesticides to make sure
they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. The data base to
support the reregistration of each of the chemicals listed above is
substantially complete.
All registrants of products containing one or more of the above
listed active ingredients have been sent the appropriate RED documents
and must respond to labeling requirements and product specific data
requirements (if applicable) within 8 months of receipt. Products
containing other active ingredients will not be reregistered until
those other active ingredients are determined to be eligible for
reregistration.
The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes both the need to make timely
reregistration decisions and to involve the public. Therefore, EPA is
issuing these REDs as final documents with a 60-day comment period.
Although the 60-day public comment period does not affect the
registrant's response due date, it is intended to provide an
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the RED. All comments will be carefully
considered by the Agency. If any comment significantly affects a RED,
EPA will amend the RED by publishing the amendment in the Federal
Register.
A record has been established for this notice under docket number
``OPP-34091'' (including comments and data submitted electronically as
described below). A public version of this record, including printed,
paper versions of electronic comments, which does not include any
information claimed as CBI, is available for inspection from 8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The public
record is located in Room 1132 of the Public Response and Program
Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Crystal Mall #2,
1921 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA.
Electronic copies of the REDs and RED Fact Sheets can be downloaded
from the Pesticide Special Review and Reregistration Information System
at (703) 308-7224, and also can be reached on the Internet via
fedworld.gov and EPA's gopher server, gopher.epa.gov.
Electronic comments can be sent directly to EPA at:
opp-docket@epamail.epa.gov
Electronic comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the
use of special characters and any form of encryption.
The official record of this notice, as well as the public version,
as described above will be kept in paper form.
Accordingly, EPA will transfer all comments received electronically
into printed, paper form as they are received and will place the paper
copies in the official record which will also include all comments
submitted directly in writing. The official record is the paper record
maintained at the address in ``ADDRESSES'' at the beginning of this
document.
