Approval of a Pesticide Product

Conditional Registration

SUMMARY: This notice announces

Agency approval of an application to

conditionally register the product

DEKALBt, containing a plant pesticide

active ingredient not included in any

previously registered product pursuant

to the provisions of section 3(c)(7)(C) of

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Availability: Electronic

copies of this document and the Fact

Sheet are available from the EPA home

page at the Environmental Sub-Set entry

for this document under ‘‘Regulations’’

(http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).

EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of July 31, 1996 (61 FR

39959; FRL–5379–9), which announced

that Dekalb Genetics Corporation, 3100

Sycamore Road, DeKalb, IL 60115-9600,

had submitted an application to register

the product Corn Borer-Resistant Corn

Containing Insecticidal Bt Protein II

(EPA File Symbol 69575–E), containing

the plant pesticide active ingredient

Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies

kurstaki CryIA(c) delta-endotoxin and

the genetic material necessary for its

production in corn at 100 percent, an

active ingredient not included in any

previously registered product. 

The application was approved on

March 25, 1997, as DEKALBt (formerly

Corn Borer-Resistant Corn Containing

Insecticidal Bt Protein II); the corn seed

containing this plant pesticide is for use

on field corn only (EPA Registration

Number 69575–2). The chemical was

amended to read ‘‘Bacillus thuringiensis

CryIA(c) delta-endotoxin and the

genetic material necessary for its

production in corn.’’

A conditional registration may be

granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) of

FIFRA for a new active ingredient where

certain data are lacking, on condition

that such data are received by the end

of the conditional registration period

and do not meet or exceed the risk

criteria set forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that

use of the pesticide during the

conditional registration period will not

cause unreasonable adverse effects; and

that use of the pesticide is in the public

interest.

The Agency has considered the

available data on the risks associated

with the proposed use of Bacillus

thuringiensis CryIA(c) delta-endotoxin

and the genetic material necessary for

its production in corn, and information

on social, economic, and environmental

benefits to be derived from such use.

Specifically, the Agency has considered

the nature 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 and safety

determinations which show that use of

Bacillus thuringiensis CryIA(c) deltaendotoxin and the genetic material

necessary for its production in corn

during the period of conditional

registration will not cause any

unreasonable adverse effect on the

environment, and that use of the

pesticide is in the public interest.

This product is conditionally

registered in accordance with FIFRA

section 3(c)(7)(C). Dekalb must submit

all data required for registration for this

product. If the conditions are not

complied with the registration will be

subject to cancellation in accordance

with FIFRA section 6(e). This

registration will automatically expire on

April 1, 2001.

Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C), the

Agency has determined that this

conditional registration is in the public

interest. Use of the pesticides are of

significance to the user community, and

appropriate labeling, use directions, and

other measures have been taken to

ensure that use of the pesticides will not

result in unreasonable adverse effects to

man and the environment.

More detailed information on this

conditional registration is contained in

an EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on Bacillus

thuringiensis CryIA(c) delta-endotoxin

and the genetic material necessary for

its production in corn.

A copy of the fact sheet, which

provides a summary description of the

chemical, use patterns and

formulations, science findings, and the

Agency’s regulatory position and

rationale, may be obtained from the

National Technical Information Service

(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road,

Springfield, VA 22161.

In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of

FIFRA, a copy of the approved label, the

list of data references, the data and other

scientific information used to support

registration, except for material

specifically protected by section 10 of

FIFRA, are available for public

inspection in the Public Information

and Records Integrity Branch,

Division (7506C), Office of Pesticide

Programs, Environmental Protection
