{"abstract":"This notice announces the availability of EPA's final risk mitigation decision for 10 rodenticides, an addendum to the economic impact assessment, responses to comments on the proposed risk mitigation decision, and other supporting documents. The 10 rodenticides covered by this risk mitigation decision are brodifacoum, bromadiolone, bromethalin, chlorophacinone, cholecalciferol, difenacoum, difethialone, diphacinone (and its sodium salt), warfarin (and its sodium salt), and zinc phosphide. EPA's final decision on the rodenticides includes two major components. To minimize children's exposure to rodenticide products used in homes, EPA is requiring that in the future, all rodenticide bait products available for sale to general consumers be sold only in bait stations. To reduce wildlife exposures and ecological risks, the Agency intends to prevent general consumers from purchasing bait products containing the rodenticides that pose the greatest risk to wildlife (the second generation anticoagulants - brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone, and difenacoum) by requiring various measures to control sales and distribution. The Agency's decision will reduce rodenticide exposures to children and non-target wildlife, while ensuring residential users, livestock producers, and professional applicators access to a variety of effective and affordable rodent control products.","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/2008/06/04/E8-12493.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"73 FR 31868","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955","FRL-8367-8"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E8-12493","effective_on":null,"end_page":31869,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2008/06/04/E8-12493.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/06/04/E8-12493/rodenticides-final-risk-mitigation-decision-notice-of-availability","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E8-12493?publication_date=2008-06-04","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2008-06-04/E8-12493/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":707,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-06-04/pdf/E8-12493.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2008-06-04","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2008/06/04/E8-12493.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Letter to Hal Ambuter, Director, Regulatory and Government Affairs, Reckitt Benckiser, Inc. from Lisa Garcia, Associate Assistant Administrator, Environmental Justice, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, et al. on 6/7/12","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0856"},{"title":"5/8/12 - Brittany Campbell to Steven Bradbury Re Cancel Dangerous Rodenticides","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0841"},{"title":"2/7/12 - John Lublinkhoff, Bell Laboratories, to Richard Keigwin Re Poison Control Center Data – 12 Month Comparisons – Domestic Animals","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0840"},{"title":"8/31/11 - EPA to Hacco Re Cancellation Order and Correction of Existing Stocks","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0839"},{"title":"6/21/11 - Joseph Manuppello, PETA, to Steven Bradbury","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0838"},{"title":"6/10/11 - Lawrence Cullen to Steven Bradbury Letter Regarding Cancellation","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0837"},{"title":"6/8/11 - EPA Response to Michael Fry","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0955-0836"},{"title":"5/26/11 - EPA to Hacco Inc.
