Atrazine; Updated Proposed Mitigation for the Interim Registration Review Decision; Notice of Availability and Request for Comment

The Environmental Protection Agency is
announcing the availability of and requesting comment on EPA's proposed
updates to the mitigation in the interim registration review decision
for atrazine. The updated mitigation proposal for
atrazine
incorporates the revised level of concern of 9.7 micrograms per liter
([micro]g/L) as well as corrections to exposure modeling and feedback
received during the 2022 public comment period. EPA is releasing its
updated mitigation proposal to reduce run-off/erosion, which will
expand the number of options of mitigation measures growers can choose
to implement to reduce potential exposure and risk to aquatic plant
communities from atrazine runoff in vulnerable watersheds. The proposal
includes placing mitigations on the product labeling, directing users
to EPA's mitigation menu website and to the Bulletins Live! Two system.
The Agency is not soliciting comment on any other aspects of the
atrazine interim registration review decision.
