Abstract: EPA will use the information collected under this new ICR to ensure that the identified risk mitigation measures necessary for reregistration eligibility for certain soil fumigant chemicals are adequately implemented. Under section 3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), pesticide registrants must generate and submit data to the Agency when such data are needed to maintain an existing registration of a pesticide. In June 2009, after an extensive public review process, EPA completed Reregistration Eligibility Decisions (REDs) for a group of soil fumigant chemicals that takes into account the best available information on the potential risks and benefits of soil fumigant use. As discussed in the RED, the Agency determined that certain uses of the soil fumigants are eligible for reregistration, provided that the risk mitigation measures outlined in the REDs are adopted. This ICR estimates the burden on respondents related to the implementation of these risk mitigation measures.
