Dodine Reregistration Eligibility Decision; Notice of Availability

This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide dodine, and opens a public comment period on this document. The Agency's risk assessments and other related documents are also available in the dodine docket. Dodine is a fungicide used primarily on fruits and nuts and is registered for control of a range of pathogenic fungi that affect a number of agricultural and some ornamental crops. There are no registered residential uses of dodine. The dodine RED addresses the tolerance reassessment for all the currently registered uses of dodine. EPA is reviewing dodine 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.
