II. Background

During fiscal year 1999, EPA completed reregistration eligibility
decisions for 14 pesticides, and issued Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED) documents for the pesticide active ingredients listed
below. The Agency published a Notice in the Federal Register on
December 3, 1999 (64 FR 67902) (FRL-6395-6), announcing the
availability of RED documents for six of these pesticides (Captan, S-
Ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC), Folpet, Niclosamide and 3-
trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM or Lamprecide), and Pebulate). These
REDs were issued as final documents with a 60-day comment period, which
closed on February 1, 2000. 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.
The Agency also published separate Federal Register notices
announcing the availability of REDs for Sulfotepp (a voluntary
cancellation) on December 22, 1999 (64 FR 71754) (FRL-6391-2), and
triphenyltin hydroxide (TPTH) on December 1, 1999 (64 FR 67265) (FRL-
6395-3), the latter for 90 days of public comment. EPA will announce in
the Federal Register the cancellation of Sulfotepp when it becomes
effective in September 2002.
No comments were submitted for the following RED documents:
