II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This notice constitutes and announces the closing of the comment
period for the triallate RED. The Agency published a notice in the
Federal Register of May 23, 2001 (66 FR 28469) (FRL-6775-9) and a
correction in the Federal Register on June 25, 2001 (66 FR 33684) (FRL-
6788-1) announcing the availability and start of a 60-day public
comment period on the Reregistration Eligibility Decision document for
the pesticide active ingredient triallate. This RED was issued as a
final document with a 60-day comment period, which closed on July 23,
2001. In this RED, EPA provided its regulatory position on the current
registered use of triallate and set forth certain data requirements and
label amendments for product reregistration eligibility.
A copy of the triallate RED can be found under docket control
number OPP-34226A or on the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/
pesticides/reregistration/status.htm.
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
The legal authority for this RED falls under FIFRA, as amended in
1988 and 1996. Section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredients are eligible for reregistration,'' and either reregister
products or take ``other appropriate regulatory action.''
