Purpose of This Notice Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(a), this notice announces the availability of EPA's proposed interim registration review decision for pyrimethanil (Table 1) and opens a 60-day public comment period on the proposed interim decision. Table 1—Pyrimethanil Proposed Interim Decision Registration review case name and No. Docket ID No. Chemical review manager and contact information Pyrimethanil, Case Number 7059 EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0380 Christian Bongard, *bongard.christian@epa.gov,*
(202)566-2248. II. Background EPA is conducting its registration review of pyrimethanil pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. FIFRA Section 3(g) provides, among other things, that pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed a proposed interim decision for the pesticide listed in Table 1 of Unit I. The registration review docket for a pesticide includes documents related to the registration review case. Among other things, these documents describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of the pesticide included in Table 1 of Unit I, as well as the Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed interim registration review decision is supported by the rationales included in those documents. Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA provides for at least a 60-day public comment period on proposed interim registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the proposed decision. For additional background on the registration review program, see: *https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation.* III. What action is the Agency taking? This notice is directed to the public in general and may be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the Chemical Review Manager for the pesticide of interest identified in Table 1 of Unit I. In submitting a comment to EPA, please consider the following: 1. *Submitting CBI.* Do not submit this information to EPA through *regulations.gov* or email. Clearly mark the part or all the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. *Tips for preparing your comments.* When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at: *https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.* All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the docket for the pesticide included in Table 1 in Unit I. The Agency will consider all comments received by the closing date and may respond to comments in a “Response to Comments Memorandum” in the docket and/or in any subsequent interim or final registration review decision, as appropriate. (Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 *et seq.* ) Dated: February 4, 2026. Jean Anne Overstreet, Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
