II. Background 

Monsanto Company has developed an 

insect-protected soybean, MON 87701, 

that produces the Cry1Ac protein to 

provide protection from feeding damage 

from certain lepidopteran pests. The 

524–EUP–R application is for 56.0 acres 

of MON 87701 for the 2007 growing 

season. This insect-protected soybean 

product has a limited fit in the United 

States since only a small portion of the 

United States soybean production acres 

are significantly and consistently 

affected by the target lepidopteran pests. 

The purpose of growing MON 87701 in 

the United States is to evaluate and 

further develop the product in support 

of a planned commercialization in 

South America. A total of five trial 

protocols will be conducted, including: 

Agronomic yield trials, breeding and 

observation nursery trials, regulatory 

trials, efficacy trials, and product 

development trials. States involved 

include: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, 

Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, 

Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North 

Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South 

Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and 

Virginia. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Following the review of the Monsanto 

Company application and any 

comments and data received in response 

to this notice, EPA will decide whether 

to issue or deny the EUP request for this 

EUP program, and if issued, the 

conditions under which it is to be 

conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will 

be announced in the Federal Register. 

IV. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

The Agency’s authority for taking this 

action is under FIFRA section 5.

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing 

the availability of a Pesticide 

Registration Notice (PR Notice) entitled 

‘‘Disposal Instructions on NonAntimicrobial Residential/Household 

Use Pesticide Product Labels.’’ PR 

Notices are issued by the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform 

pesticide registrants and other 

interested persons about important 

policies, procedures, and registration 

related decisions, and serve to provide 

guidance to pesticide registrants and 

OPP personnel. This particular PR 

Notice provides guidance to the 

registrant concerning the updating and 

revision of PR Notice 2001-6 to clarify 

that the use of a toll free number in the 

disposal instructions on nonantimicrobial residential/household use 

pesticide product labels is optional. If 

registrants choose to change or remove 

a toll free number from the disposal 

instructions on their label, this notice 

provides guidance on making such 

changes.

II. What Guidance Does this PR Notice 

Provide? 

This PR Notice provides guidance to 

the registrant updating and revising PR 

Notice 2001-6 to clarify that the use of 

a toll free number in the disposal 

instructions on non-antimicrobial 

residential/household use pesticide 

product labels is optional. If registrants 

choose to change or remove a toll free 

number from the disposal instructions 

on their label, this notice provides 

guidance on making such changes. This 

notice supersedes PR Notice 2001-6 in 

its entirety and PR Notices 83-3 and 84- 

1 in part. 

This notice provides guidance for the 

development of disposal instructions for 

non-antimicrobial, residential/ 

household use pesticide product labels. 

EPA is providing instructions that direct 

consumers to call their local authorities 

for specific disposal instructions in 

order to provide state and local 

governments greater latitude in carrying 

out their responsibilities for product 

disposal and waste management 

programs. 

This notice is directed to registrants of 

non-antimicrobial, residential/ 

household use products. Registrants 

using the revised disposal statements 

provided in this notice may add the 

disposal statements to their labels by 

notification or they may make the 

changes with non-notification, 

according to PR Notice 98-10. The 

Agency expects that registrants of 

existing products will begin to revise 

their labels accordingly. All affected 

product labels were expected to have 

disposal statements according to issued 

guidance by October 1, 2003. The 

statements in this notice are not 

intended for non-residential/nonhousehold use (e.g., agricultural, 

commercial, or industrial use) pesticide 

products where users generally have 

access to established recycling and/or 

disposal procedures and programs. 

III. Do PR Notices Contain Binding 

Requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

notice is intended to provide guidance 

to EPA personnel and decision makers 

and to pesticide registrants. While the 

requirements in the statutes and Agency 

regulations are binding on EPA and the 

applicants, this PR Notice is not binding 

on either EPA or pesticide registrants, 

and EPA may depart from the guidance 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.
