II. Description of New Chemical 

EPA received an application from the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(USDA, APHIS), Environmental 

Services Unit 149, 4700 River Road, 

Riverdale, MD 20737, to register the 

pesticide product, Gonacon 

Immunocontraceptive Vaccine, 

contraceptive (EPA File Symbol 56228– 

GN), containing 1.0 milliliter doses in 

pre-packaged syringes at .03% active 

ingredient. This product was not 

previously registered. 

III. Regulatory Conclusions 

The application was approved on 

September 29, 2009, as Gonacon 

Immunocontraceptive Vaccine (EPA 

Registration Number 56228–40) for 

contraception of white-tailed deer. The 

Agency approved the application after 

considering all required data on risks 

associated with the proposed use of 

Mammalian Gonadotropin Releasing 

Hormone (GnRH), and information on 

social, economic, and environmental 

benefits to be derived from use. 

Specifically, the Agency has considered 

the nature of the chemical and its 

pattern of use, application methods and 

rates, and level and extent of potential 

exposure. Based on these reviews, the 

Agency concluded the determinations 

made pursuant to FIFRA section 3(c)(5) 

require registration of GnRH. 

IV. Missing Data 

Conditional data required for 

GonaCon consists of: 

• OPPTS Harmonized Test Guideline 

830.1700—Validating the method of 

analysis of the formulation and 

additional preliminary analysis. 

• OPPTS Harmonized Test Guideline 

830.1750—Certified Limits. 

V. Response to Comments 

EPA published a notice of receipt in 

the Federal Register of May 1, 2009 (74 

FR 20298) (FRL–8404–9), which 

announced that the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (USDA, APHIS), 

Environmental Services Unit 149, 4700 

River Road, Riverdale, MD 20737, had 

submitted an application to register the 

pesticide product, Gonacon 

Immunocontraceptive Vaccine 

contraceptive. During the public 

comment period for this active 

ingredient one comment was received 

from a private citizen who did not 

oppose the manufacturing or selling of 

this product, but rather the hunting of 

animals, therefore no response was 

necessary.
