Propylene Oxide Risk Assessment, Notice of Availability, and Risk Reduction Options

This notice announces the availability of EPA's human health risk assessment and related documents for the insecticidal fumigant pesticide propylene oxide (PPO), and opens a public comment period on these documents. The public is encouraged to suggest risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is developing a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED), for PPO through a modified, 4-Phase 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. This notice opens phase 3 of the 4-phase process.
