{"abstract":"This notice announces the availability of documents that were developed as part of EPA's process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility decisions consistent with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). These documents are the revised human health and environmental fate and effects risk assessments and related documents for metam-sodium. These documents have been revised based on consideration of public comments and other input on the preliminary risk assessments that were released to the public on June 2, 2004. This notice also starts another 60-day public comment period for the risk assessments. Comments are to be limited to issues directly associated with metam-sodium and raised by the risk assessments or other documents placed in the docket. By allowing access and opportunity for comment on the risk assessments, EPA is seeking to strengthen stakeholder involvement and help ensure that our decisions under FQPA are transparent and based on the best available information. The Agency cautions that these revised risk assessments for metam-sodium are still considered to be preliminary and that further refinements may be appropriate. Risk assessments reflect only the work and analysis conducted as of the time they were produced and it is appropriate that, as new information becomes available and/or additional analyses are performed, the conclusions they contain may change.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2004/08/31/04-19712.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"69 FR 53058","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2004-10-31","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments, identified by the docket identification (ID) number OPP-2004-0159, must be received on or before October 31, 2004.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["OPP-2004-0159","FRL-7674-8"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"04-19712","effective_on":null,"end_page":53060,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2004/08/31/04-19712.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/08/31/04-19712/metam-sodium-availability-of-revised-risk-assessments","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/04-19712?publication_date=2004-08-31","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2004-08-31/04-19712/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":6,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-08-31/pdf/04-19712.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2004-08-31","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2004/08/31/04-19712.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T12:58:39Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":53058,"subtype":null,"title":"Metam-Sodium; Availability of Revised Risk Assessments","toc_doc":"Metam-sodium","toc_subject":"Pesticide programs:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":69}
