the proposed use of sodium bicarbonate,

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 and safety

determinations which show that use of

sodium bicarbonate when used in

accordance with widespread and

commonly recognized practice, will not

generally cause unreasonable adverse

effects to the environment.

More detailed information on these

registrations is contained in a Pesticide

Fact Sheet on sodium bicarbonate.

A copy of this 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 and

the list of data references used to

support registration are available for

public inspection in the office of the

Product Manager. 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 Response and
