II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

This
notice
constitutes
and
announces
the
closing
of
the
comment
period
for
the
norflurazon
TRED.
This
decision
has
been
developed
as
part
of
the
public
participation
process
that
EPA
and
the
U.
S.
Department
of
Agriculture
(
USDA)
are
using
to
involve
the
public
in
the
reassessment
of
pesticide
tolerances
under
FFDCA.
EPA
must
review
tolerances
and
tolerance
exemptions
that
were
in
effect
when
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
(
FQPA)
was
enacted
in
August
1996,
to
ensure
that
these
existing
pesticide
residue
limits
for
food
and
feed
commodities
meet
the
safety
standard
of
the
new
law.
In
reviewing
these
tolerances,
the
Agency
must
consider,
among
other
things,
aggregate
risks
from
nonoccupational
sources
of
pesticide
exposure,
whether
there
is
increased
susceptibility
to
infants
and
children,
and
the
cumulative
effects
of
pesticides
with
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity.
The
tolerances
are
considered
reassessed
once
the
safety
finding
has
been
made
that
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern.
A
reregistration
eligibility
decision
(
RED)
was
completed
for
norflurazon
in
June
1996,
prior
to
FQPA
enactment,
and
therefore,
needed
an
updated
assessment
to
consider
the
provisions
of
the
Act.

B.
What
is
the
Agency's
Authority
for
Taking
this
Action?
The
legal
authority
for
this
TRED
falls
under
FIFRA,
as
amended
in
1988
and
1996.
Section
4(
g)(
2)(
A)
of
FIFRA
directs
that,
after
submission
of
all
data
concerning
a
pesticide
active
ingredient
(
a.
i.),
``
the
Administrator
shall
determine
whether
pesticides
containing
such
a.
i.
are
eligible
for
reregistration,''
and
either
reregister
products
or
take
``
other
appropriate
regulatory
action.''
