ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s final registration 

review decision for the pesticide 

Bacillus subtilis, case 6012. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58(c), 

this notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for Bacillus subtilis, case 6012. The 

Bacillus subtilis case consists of four 

strains: Strain GB03; Strain MBI 600; 

Strain QST 713; and var. 

amyloliquefaciens Strain FZB24. All 

four strains occur ubiquitously in the 

environment: Bacillus subtilis strain 

GB03 is used to prevent, control and 

suppress plant disease on barley, 

berries, bulb vegetables, cole crops, 

cotton, cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, 

herbs, leafy crops, legumes, ornamental 

plants and cuttings, peanuts, root/tuber 

and corm vegetables, soybeans, 

tomatoes, trees, tropical plants, turf, and 

wheat. Bacillus subtilis strain GB03 is 

applied as an irrigation application, preplant soak, overhead spray, soil drench, 

seed dressing, tank mix, or hydroponic 

system treatment; Bacillus subtilis strain 

MBI 600 is used to suppress disease 

organisms such as Botrytis, Alternaria, 

Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium and is also 

used to promote more effective 

nodulation by nitrogen-fixing bacteria to 

improve yields. It is used as a seed and 

in-furrow treatment on cotton, seed and 

pod vegetables, peanuts, soybeans, 

alfalfa, forage and turf grasses, wheat, 

barley, corn, and canola. It is also used 

in greenhouses to treat peat moss and 

soil intended for seeding, potting, or 

transplanting non-bearing fruit and 

vegetable seedlings and as a foliar spray 

on asparagus, cole crops, bulb 

vegetables, berry crops, cucurbits, 

flowers, bedding plants, ornamentals, 

tropical plants, fruiting vegetables, 

grape, leafy vegetables, pome fruit, stone 

fruit, strawberry, tuber/root and corm 

vegetables, turf, sod, lawns, trees, and 

shrubs. Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 

is used to prevent or reduce several 

types of fungal and bacterial pests on 

artichoke, asparagus, avocado, beans, 

beets, berries, brassica crops, bulb 

vegetables, celery, cereal grains, citrus, 

coffee, corn, cucurbits, beans, eggplant, 

grapes, herbs/spices, hops, kiwi, 

kohlrabi, leafy vegetables, legumes, 

melons, oil seed crops, oil palm, okra, 

peanuts, peppers, pome fruit, rice, root/ 

tuber crops, silage crops, stone fruits, 

tomatoes, tree nuts, tropical fruits, field 

roses, forestry seedlings, lawns, 

ornamental flowering plants, 

ornamental foliage plants, ornamental 

trees and shrubs, seed production crops, 

sod, tobacco, and turf. Bacillus subtilis 

var. amyloliquefaciens strain FZB24 is 

used for plant strengthening, enhancing 

growth, increasing yields and 

suppressing soil-borne fungal diseases 

such as Rhizoctonia and Fusarium as a 

dip for seedlings, transplants, plugs, 

tubers, bulbs, corms, cuttings and roots 

of ornamentals, shrubs and trees, and as 

a spray over furrows for ornamentals, 

shrubs, trees, turf, vegetables, herbs and 

spices, and other crops. It is also 

incorporated into soils, soil-less growing 

media and mushroom spawn media and 

as a drench for interiorscapes and 

potted orchids and ferns. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered Bacillus subtilis in light 

of the FIFRA standard for registration. 

The Bacillus subtilis Final Decision 

document in the docket describes the 

Agency’s rationale for issuing a 

registration review final decision for 

this pesticide. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision document, the 

registration review docket for Bacillus 

subtilis also includes other relevant 

documents related to the registration 

review of this case. The proposed 

registration review decision was posted 

to the docket and the public was invited 

to submit any comments or new 

information. During the comment 

period, the public comments received 

were not substantive and did not affect 

the Agency’s final decision. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58(c), 

the registration review case docket for 

Bacillus subtilis will remain open until 

all actions required in the final decision 

have been completed. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. Links to earlier 

documents related to the registration 

review of this pesticide are provided at:

registration_review/bacillus_subtilis/ 

index.htm. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 

155, subpart C, provide authority for 

this action.
