Carbaryl Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision; Notice of Availability

This notice announces the availability of EPA's Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision (IRED) for the N-methyl carbamate pesticide carbaryl, and opens a public comment period on this decision. The Agency's risk assessments and other related documents also are available in the Carbaryl Docket. Carbaryl is an insecticide registered for use on agricultural crops, ornamentals, and turf (sod farms). Carbaryl is used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for grasshopper control. Carbaryl is also registered for residential use for flea control on pets and for use in homes and gardens. EPA has reviewed carbaryl through the public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.
