SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s final registration 

review decision for the pesticide 

Agrobacterium radiobacter strains K84/ 

Kerr-84 and K1026, case 4101. 

Registration review is EPA’s periodic 

review of pesticide registrations to 

ensure that each pesticide continues to 

satisfy the statutory standard for 

registration, that is, that the pesticide 

can perform its intended function 

without causing unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. Through this program, 

EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s 

registration is based on current 

scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment.

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 Agrobacterium radiobacter strains 

K84/Kerr-84 and K1026, case 4101. 

When used as a microbial pest control 

agent in seed, root, and stem treatments 

of nonbearing fruit, nut, and ornamental 

plants, Agrobacterium radiobacter is 

intended to protect treated plants from 

Crown Gall, which is caused by the 

plant pathogen, Agrobacterium 

tumefaciens. Both strains of 

Agrobacterium radiobacter control 

Agrobacterium tumefaciens through 

direct competition, which is primarily 

accomplished by the production of 

agrocin 84, a bacteriocin produced by 

both Agrobacterium radiobacter strain 

K84 and strain K1026 that is specific for 

certain pathogenic strains of 

Agrobacterium spp. Bacteriocins are 

peptides that are produced by certain 

bacteria, and are known to inhibit the 

growth of other bacteria. 

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 Agrobacterium 

radiobacter strains K84/Kerr-84 and 

K1026 in light of the FIFRA standard for 

registration. The Agrobacterium 

radiobacter strains K84/Kerr-84 and 

K1026 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 

Agrobacterium radiobacter strains K84/ 

Kerr-84 and K1026 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

60432 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2012 / Notices 

new information. During the 60-day 

comment period, no public comments 

were received. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58(c), 

the registration review case docket for 

Agrobacterium radiobacter strains K84/ 

Kerr-84 and K1026 will remain open 

until all actions required in the final 

decision have been completed.

program is provided at: http://

155, subpart C, provide authority for 

this action.
