II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed 
in table 1 of unit I pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and the 
Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, 
subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, that 
pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent 
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will 
ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the 
registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). 
As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed 
interim or final registration review decisions for the pesticides in 
table 1 of unit I.
    Prior to completing the interim or final registration review 
decisions in table 1 of unit I, EPA posted proposed interim decisions 
or proposed registration review decisions for these chemicals and 
invited the public to submit any comments or new information, 
consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a). EPA considered and responded to any 
comments or information received during these public comment periods in 
the respective interim decision or final registration review decisions.
    For additional background on the registration review program, see:

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
