III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in table 1 of unit II. pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and the
Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155,
subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, that
pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will
ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the
registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed
interim or final registration review decisions for the pesticides in
table 1 of unit II.
Prior to completing the interim or final registration review
decisions in table 1 of unit II., EPA posted proposed interim decisions
or proposed registration review decisions for these chemicals and
invited the public to submit any comments or new information,
consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a). EPA considered and responded to any
comments or information received during these public comment periods in
the respective interim decision or final registration review decisions.
