Registration Review Interim Decisions and Case Closures; Notice 
of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's interim 
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in Unit II. of 
this notice. In addition, this notice announces the closure of the 
registration review case for Disodium Cyanodithioimidocarbonate (DCDIC) 
(case 3065 and Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0723) and Decyl-
Isononyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride (DIDAC) (case 5013 and Docket ID 
Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0005) because all of the registrations in the 
U.S. have been canceled. 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, that the 
pesticide can perform its intended function without causing 
unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. 
Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide's 
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge, 
including its effects on human health and the environment.

contact: The Chemical Review Manager for the pesticide of interest 
identified in the Table of Unit II.
