Pesticide Registration Review; Draft Human Health and Ecological 
Risk Assessments for Sulfonylureas and Certain Other Pesticides; Notice 
of Availability and Request for Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of and opens a public 
comment period on EPA's draft human health and ecological risk 
assessments for the registration review of a group of pesticides known 
collectively as sulfonylureas (SUs) that are identified individually in 
this document in Table 1 of Unit III, as well as additional chemicals 
identified in Table 2 of Unit III. This notice also announces both the 
opening of the registration review docket and the availability of the 
registration review human health and ecological risk assessments for 
antimycin A and imazosulfuron. Registration review is EPA's periodic 
review of pesticide registrations to ensure that each pesticide 
continues to satisfy the statutory standard for registration that is 
the pesticide can perform its intended function without unreasonable 
adverse effects on human health or the environment. As part of the 
registration review process, the Agency has completed a comprehensive 
preliminary human health and ecological risk assessment for the 
pesticide uses of the identified pesticides. After reviewing comments 
received during the public comment period, EPA may issue a revised risk 
assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and 
respond to comments and may request public input on risk mitigation 
before completing a proposed registration review decision for the 
identified pesticides. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that the 
registration of each pesticide is based on current scientific and other 
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 24, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

 A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of 
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human 
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; 
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale, 
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be 
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions 
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, 
consult the Chemical Review Manager listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of 
Unit III.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental 
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, 
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, 
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and 
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the 
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population 
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other 
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human 
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides 
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Authority

    EPA is conducting the registration review of the pesticides 
identified in this document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et 
seq., and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR 
part 155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, 
that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. 
Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered 
only if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA 
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with 
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must 
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on 
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the 
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the 
use of a pesticide in or on food.

III. Registration Reviews

    As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the 
registrations for the pesticides listed in Tables 1 and 2 to ensure 
that each pesticide on the list

[[Page 57813]]

continues to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, that 
these pesticides can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects 
on human health or the environment.

    A single, streamlined ecological risk assessment document covering 
the 22 sulfonylurea chemicals listed in Table 1, as well as 22 
chemical-specific human health risk assessments separately addressing 
the same 22 active ingredients are being made available for public 
review and comment. The sulfonylureas (SUs) are an established and 
widely used class of agricultural pesticides in the United States. They 
are used to control broadleaf and grassy weeds and are registered for 
many agricultural and non-agricultural uses. The ecological risk 
assessment examines risks from the SUs simultaneously but not 
cumulatively. The streamlined assessment for SUs will focus on the 
risks to plants. This single document approach is intended to increase 
efficiency and consistency in assessing potential risks from this class 
of compounds. Separate human health risk assessment documents have been 
generated for each of the SUs because of differences in toxicity 
endpoints and points of departure.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Antimycin A. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments, 
Preliminary Work Plan (EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0480). Antimycin A 
(Fintrol[supreg]) is a restricted use pesticide registered for limited 
aquatic use by the U.S. National Park Service to control invasive 
species and restore native fish populations. EPA has completed combined 
scoping and preliminary human health and ecological risk assessments 
for Antimycin A. These assessments are limited to the current 
registered uses of Antimycin A in accordance with the Federal label and 
do not consider endangered species or endocrine effects.
    Chlorpyrifos-methyl. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk 
Assessments (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0119). Chlorpyrifos-methyl is registered 
as an insecticide used to target and kill a variety of stored grain 
insects including beetles, weevils, moths, and grain borers. The 
registered uses of chlorpyrifos-methyl are limited to indoor 
applications made to the interior of empty grain storage bins or 
warehouses. EPA conducted a preliminary ecological risk assessment and 
effects determination and a human health risk assessment. An endangered 
species assessment was completed and a No Effect determination was made 
for all listed species, as well as a No Habitat Modification 
determination for all designated critical habitats for the currently 
registered uses of chlorpyrifos-methyl. Chlorpyrifos-methyl was not on 
either initial list of chemicals to be screened under the EDSP, and an 
endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time.
    Dicrotophos. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0440). Dicrotophos is an organophosphate insecticide 
mainly used on cotton and ornamental trees. Dicrotophos is primarily 
used to target stinkbugs and tarnished plant bugs in cotton growing 
states. EPA published preliminary human health and ecological risk 
assessments in 2014 for public comment. EPA has revised its human 
health risk assessment by revising the Food Quality Protection Act 
(FQPA) safety factor and its dietary analysis. EPA has identified 
possible dietary risk for both adults and children, possible spray 
drift risks, and possible occupational handler risk from both aerial 
and ground application. EPA has revised its ecological risk assessment 
by providing additional characterization of potential ecological risk 
from typical application rates and average foliar residue (i.e., 
Kenaga) values for mammalian and bird dietary exposure. EPA identified 
possible ecological risks for the following taxa: Aquatic 
invertebrates, mammals, birds, and terrestrial invertebrates. An 
endangered species assessment has not been completed for dicrotophos at 
this time. Dicrotophos was not on the first list of chemicals for 
endocrine disruption screening.
    Dimethoate. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0059). Dimethoate is a wide spectrum systemic 
organophosphate insecticide. It is registered for use on a wide variety 
of agricultural crops, tree crops, ornamentals, and non-cropland 
adjacent to agricultural fields. There are no residential uses. EPA 
conducted a comprehensive human health risk assessment and identified 
potential risks of concern for dietary and occupational exposures. EPA 
also conducted a screening level ecological risk assessment that 
addressed all registered use of dimethoate. Potential risks were 
identified for freshwater, estuarine/marine, and terrestrial 
invertebrates, birds, and mammals. An endangered species assessment has 
not been completed for dimethoate at this time. Dimethoate was 
evaluated for its potential to affect endocrine systems in mammals and 
wildlife and the results of the agency's review are found in the Weight 
of Evidence review in this registration review docket.
    Diquat Dibromide. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk 
Assessments (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0846). Diquat dibromide is a non-selective 
contact algicide, defoliant, desiccant, and herbicide. As an herbicide/
algicide it is registered for use to control weeds in non-crop 
(including residential) and aquatic areas. As a desiccant/defoliant, it 
is registered for use on seed crops and potatoes. The Agency issued a 
FWP for diquat dibromide in March 2011, and data were called in. The 
reviews of those data are incorporated into the draft risk assessments. 
The ecological risk assessment identifies risk of concern for both 
terrestrial and aquatic

[[Page 57815]]

organisms. The human health risk assessment identifies risks of 
concerns for residential and occupations handlers via inhalation, and 
dermal concerns for workers after application. Diquat dibromide was not 
on either initial list of chemicals to be screened under the Endocrine 
Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), and an endangered species 
assessment has not been conducted at this time.
    Ethoprop. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments (EPA-
HQ-OPP-2008-0560). Ethoprop is an organophosphate, restricted use 
insecticide-nematicide registered for use on a variety of crops, 
including potatoes and sugarcane. The Agency has completed draft risk 
assessments for ethoprop, which identified both human health and 
ecological risks of concern. These assessments do not consider 
endangered species. Ethoprop was evaluated for its potential to affect 
endocrine systems in mammals and wildlife and the results of the 
agency's review are found in the Weight of Evidence review in this 
registration review docket.
    Fosamine Ammonium. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk 
Assessments (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0215). Fosamine ammonium is an herbicide 
which is applied to prevent growth of undesirable seedlings and 
saplings of brush and vines. Fosamine ammonium is registered for use on 
non-agricultural rights-of way, industrial sites, fencerows, and pine 
plantations. It is used for general weed control in uncultivated 
nonagricultural areas (e.g., airports, highway, railroad and utility 
rights-of-way, and sewage disposal areas), uncultivated agricultural 
areas (e.g., non-crop producing farmyards, fuel storage areas, 
fencerows) and industrial sites (e.g., lumberyards, pipeline and tank 
farms). The Agency has conducted a human health risk assessment for 
fosamine ammonium. The Agency has also conducted a quantitative 
ecological risk assessment, which includes a screening-level listed 
species assessment. Fosamine ammonium was not on either initial list of 
chemicals to be screened under the EDSP, and an endangered species 
assessment has not been conducted at this time.
    Hexazinone. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0755). Hexazinone is a broad spectrum herbicide 
registered for use on food and feed crops (including alfalfa, 
blueberry, pineapple, sugarcane), non-food crops (including Christmas 
tree plantations, industrial areas, recreational areas), drainage 
systems, and in forestry (including conifer release, reforestation, 
forest trees). EPA conducted a comprehensive human health risk 
assessment and did not identify any risks of concern for dietary or 
residential exposure. Most occupational risks identified may be 
addressed with additional levels of personal protective equipment, 
though some scenarios still pose concerns considering engineering 
controls. EPA also conducted a preliminary ecological risk assessment 
that identified potential risks, mainly to terrestrial and aquatic 
plants. Hexazinone was not on either initial list of chemicals to be 
screened under the EDSP, and an endangered species assessment has not 
been conducted at this time.
    Methoxyfenozide. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0606). Methoxyfenozide is a diacylhydrazine 
insecticide and insect growth regulator registered for use on a variety 
of agricultural and non-agricultural sites. The ecological assessment 
indicates that methoxyfenozide has the potential for direct acute and 
chronic effects on listed and non-listed freshwater and estuarine/
marine invertebrates. The likelihood of direct adverse effects on 
birds, terrestrial-phase amphibians, reptiles, mammals, fish, aquatic-
phase amphibians, and terrestrial and aquatic plants as a result of 
registered methoxyfenozide use is expected to be low. However, taxa 
that depend on aquatic invertebrate species may be indirectly affected. 
The endangered species protection bulletin for methoxyfenozide can be 
found by following the links at http://www.epa.gov/oppfead1/endanger/bulletins.htm). The human health risk assessment considered both 
current and pending proposed uses of methoxyfenozide, and the Agency 
concluded there were no risks of concern identified for any route or 
duration of exposure. Methoxyfenozide was not included in either the 
first or second list of chemicals to be screened for endocrine 
disruptor potential.
    Profenofos. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0345). Profenofos (Curacron[supreg]) is an 
organophosphate, restricted use insecticide registered for use on 
cotton. However, use has declined significantly since 2000, and EPA has 
not found any reports of use since 2011. The Agency has completed 
preliminary human health and ecological risk assessments for 
profenofos. Profenofos was not on either initial list of chemicals to 
be screened under the EDSP, and an endangered species assessment has 
not been conducted at this time.
    Tebufenozide. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments 
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0824). Tebufenozide (Confirm[supreg]) is an insect 
growth regulator registered for use on a variety of crops, mint, 
ornamentals, tree and nut fruit and in forestry. EPA has completed 
preliminary human health and ecological risk assessments for 
tebufenozide. Tebufenozide was not on either initial list of chemicals 
to be screened under the EDSP, and an endangered species assessment has 
not been conducted at this time.
    Terbufos. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments (EPA-
HQ-OPP-2008-0119). Terbufos is a systemic organophosphate insecticide-
nematicide used to control a variety of pests on corn (field and sweet 
corn), grain sorghum, and sugar beets. EPA conducted a dietary and 
occupational human health risk assessment. The agency identified 
dietary and occupational risks. EPA also conducted a comprehensive 
ecological risk assessment and found risks to both aquatic and 
terrestrial animals. Endangered species, EDSP and pollinator 
assessments have not been completed for terbufos at this time.
    Tribufos. Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments (EPA-
HQ-OPP-2008-0883). Tribufos is an organophospate chemical used as a 
pre-harvest desiccant on cotton. The Environmental Protection Agency 
conducted comprehensive human health and ecological risk assessments, 
which identified human health and ecological risks. Tribufos was not on 
either initial list of chemicals to be screened under the EDSP, and an 
endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time.
