What is the reregistration process for zinc pyrithione?
The reregistration of zinc pyrithione is part of EPA’s ongoing effort to reevaluate pesticides and ensure that they meet current scientific standards for health, safety, and environmental protection. The reregistration process involves the publication of a Federal Register Notice, the posting of the Preliminary Risk Assessment in the public docket, and a 60-day comment period. After comments are received and reviewed, and any mitigation measures are discussed with stakeholders, the final registration eligibility decision (RED) is issued. The estimated reregistration eligibility determination date is September 30, 2004. • Where can I get further information?
