Managers listed in the table under ``SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Notice Apply to Me

    This notice is directed to the public in general. As such, the

REDs.

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.
