EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of July 10, 1996 (61 FR

36369; FRL–5383–5), which announced

that Ecoval Technologies Inc., 3600

boul.du Tricentenaire Pointe-auxTembles, Quebec H1B 5M8, had

submitted an application to register the

pesticide product Eco-N Select 1.6 (EPA

File Symbol 069836–R), containing the

active ingredient acetic acid: ethanoic

acid [C2H4O2] at 25 percent, an active

ingredient not included in any currently

registered product.

The application was approved on

February 13, 1997, as Eco-N Select 1.6

for non-selective control of herbaceous

broadleaf and grass weeds in non-crop,

right-of-way, and industrial land sites

(EPA Registration Number 069831–1).

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of acetic acid: ethanoic

acid [C2H4O2], 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 was able to make basic health

safety determinations which show that

use of acetic acid: ethanoic acid

[C2H4O2] when used in accordance with

widespread and commonly recognized

practice, will not generally cause

unreasonable adverse effects to the

environment.

More detailed information on this

registration is contained in an EPA

Pesticide Fact Sheet on acetic acid:

ethanoic acid [C2H4O2].

A copy of these fact sheets, which

provide a summary description of the

pesticides, use patterns and

formulations, science findings, and the

Agency’s regulatory position and

rationale, may be obtained from the
