Availability
of
Risk
Assessment
AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.

SUMMARY:
This
notice
announces
the
availability
of
documents
that
were
developed
as
part
of
EPA's
process
for
making
pesticide
reregistration
eligibility
decisions
and
tolerance
reassessments
consistent
with
the
Federal
Food,
Drug,
and
Cosmetic
Act
(
FFDCA),
as
amended
by
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
of
1996
(
FQPA).
These
documents
are
the
human
health
risk
assessment
and
related
documents
for
oryzalin.
This
notice
also
starts
a
60
 
day
public
comment
period
for
the
risk
assessment.
Comments
are
to
be
limited
to
issues
directly
associated
with
oryzalin
and
raised
by
the
risk
assessment
or
other
documents
placed
in
the
docket.
By
allowing
access
and
opportunity
for
comment
on
the
risk
assessment,
EPA
is
seeking
to
strengthen
stakeholder
involvement
and
help
ensure
that
our
decisions
under
FQPA
are
transparent
and
based
on
the
best
available
information.
The
tolerance
reassessment
process
will
ensure
that
the
United
States
continues
to
have
the
safest
and
most
abundant
food
supply.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
risk
assessment
for
oryzalin
is
preliminary
and
that
further
refinements
may
be
appropriate.
Risk
assessments
reflect
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
they
were
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
they
contain
may
change.

DATES:
Comments,

Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

EPA
is
making
available
risk
assessments
that
have
been
developed
as
part
of
the
Agency's
public
participation
process
for
making
reregistration
eligibility
and
tolerance
reassessment
decisions
for
the
organophosphate
and
other
pesticides
consistent
with
FFDCA,
as
amended
by
FQPA.
The
Agency's
human
health
risk
assessment
and
other
related
documents
for
oryzalin
are
available
in
the
individual
pesticide
docket.
As
additional
comments,
reviews,
and
risk
assessment
modifications
become
available,
these
will
also
be
docketed
for
oryzalin.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
oryzalin
risk
