Organophosphate Pesticides;  Availability of the Revised Organophosphate Cumulative Risk
Assessment;  Extension of Comment Period
EPA is extending the comment period for the revised organophosphorous (OP) cumulative

is seeking to strengthen stakeholder involvemen t and help ensure our decisions under FQPA are
transparent and based on the best available information.
