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. EPA has determined that all currently
registered products subject to reregistration containing these active
ingredients are eligible for reregistration.
List A -
Case 0082 Pronamide;
Case 0054 Tebuthiuron;
To request a copy of any of the above listed RED documents, or a
RED Fact Sheet, contact the OPP Pesticide Docket, Public Response and
Program Resources Branch, in Room 1132 at the address given above or
call (703) 305-5805.
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 the other active ingredients will not be reregistered until
adequate product specific data have been submitted and all necessary
product label changes are implemented.
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 affect a RED,
EPA will amend the RED by publishing the amendment in the Federal
Register.
