  • 2024-31644 — Pesticide Registration Review; Decisions and Case Closures for Several Pesticides; Notice of Availability
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 638
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the availability of its interim registration review decisions for several pesticides, including 1,3-PAD, chlorothalonil, thiophanate-methy/carbendazim, and TCMTB. These decisions are part of the ongoing registration review process mandated by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which requires pesticide registrations to be reviewed every 15 years. The EPA had previously invited public comments on proposed decisions and considered them before issuing the interim decisions. The public can find more information about the registration review program on the EPA's website.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has checked some chemicals used in farming, like 1,3-PAD and chlorothalonil, to see if they are still safe to use. They let people give their opinions on these chemicals, made some decisions, and shared these decisions with everyone.

  • 2024-31280 — Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP); Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 638
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the final risk evaluation for diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The EPA has found that DIDP presents an unreasonable risk to human health, particularly to female workers of reproductive age, due to non-cancer effects like reduced offspring survival linked to inhalation exposure. The EPA will propose regulatory actions to manage these risks, focusing on preventing high exposure levels in certain work scenarios. This review and the ensuing actions are guided by TSCA's requirement to use the best available science to ensure chemical safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA found that a chemical called DIDP can be harmful to people, especially women who are expecting a baby, and they plan to make rules to help keep everyone safe.

  • 2024-31651 — Turlock & Modesto Irrigation District; Notice of Reasonable Period of Time for Water Quality Certification Application
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 638
    Reading Time:less than a minute

    The Turlock & Modesto Irrigation District submitted an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for water quality certification under the Clean Water Act. This application was also filed with the California State Water Resources Control Board on December 13, 2024. According to FERC regulations, the Water Board has one year, until December 13, 2025, to act on this request. If the Water Board does not make a decision by that date, the requirement for certification will be waived.

    Simple Explanation

    The Turlock & Modesto Irrigation District wants to make sure the water they use won’t get dirty, so they asked for a special paper from the Water Board. They have until the end of next year to get a yes or no, and if they don’t get it by then, they can pretend they already got a yes.
