Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?
EPA
is
making
available
the
preliminary
comparative
ecological
assessment
for
nine
rodenticides,
which
included
those
addressed
in
the
Reregistration
Eligibility
Decisions
(
REDs)
for
the
the
rodenticide
cluster
(
brodifacoum,
bromadiolone,
bromethalin,
chlorophacinone,
diphacinone,)
and
zinc
phosphide,
as
well
as
three
other
rodenticides,
warfarin,
difethialone,
and
cholecalciferol.
This
notice
starts
a
60
 
day
public
comment
period
for
the
preliminary
comparative
ecological
assessment.
The
Agency's
preliminary
assessment
titled:
``
Potential
Risks
of
Nine
Rodenticides
to
Birds
and
Nontarget
Mammals:
A
Comparative
Approach,''
is
available
in
the
docket.
As
additional
comments,
reviews,
and
risk
assessment
modifications
become
available,
these
will
also
be
docketed
for
the
nine
rodenticides
listed
in
this
notice.
The
Agency
cautions
that
these
assessments
are
preliminary
assessments
only
and
that
further
refinements
will
be
appropriate
for
some,
if
not
all,
of
these
nine
rodenticides.
This
document
reflects
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
it
was
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
contained,
therein,
may
change.
The
Agency
is
providing
an
opportunity,
through
this
notice,
for
interested
parties
to
provide
written
comments
and
input
to
the
Agency
on
the
preliminary
ecological
assessment
for
the
chemicals
specified
in
this
notice.
Such
comments
and
input
could
address,
for
example,
the
availability
of
additional
data
to
further
refine
the
assessment
or
address
the
Agency's
risk
assessment
methodologies
and
assumptions
as
applied
to
these
specific
chemicals.
Comments
should
be
limited
to
issues
raised
within
the
preliminary
assessment.
Failure
to
comment
on
any
such
issues
as
part
of
this
opportunity
will
in
no
way
prejudice
or
limit
a
commenter's
opportunity
to
participate
fully
in
later
notice
and
comment
processes.
All
comments
should
be
submitted
by

Comments
will

each
rodenticide
to
which
it
pertains.
