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.
