fedrgstr/).

EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of September 27, 1995

(60 FR 49838; FRL–4971–4), which

announced that Kaken Pharmaceutical

Co., Ltd. Agrochemical and Animal

Health Products Division, of Japan,

represented by Stewart Pesticide

Registration Associates, Inc., Suite 603,

1901 North Moore St., Arlington, VA

22209, had submitted applications to

register the pesticide products STOPIT

Wettable Powder Turf Fungicide and

Polyoxin D Zinc Salt Technical (EPA

File Symbols 68173–E and 68173–R),

containing the new active ingredient

polyoxin D zinc salt (1:1), zinc 5-[[2-

amino-5-O-(aminocarbonyl)-2-deoxy-Lxylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-

dihydro-2,4-dioxo-1 (2H)-pyrimidinyl)-

1,5-dideoxy-β-D-allofuranuronate at 2.5

and 23.8 percent respectively, an active

ingredient not included in any

previously registered products.

The applications were approved on

August 20, 1997, as STOPIT Wettable

Powder Turf Fungicide for use on turf

of golf courses, home lawns, parks, and

commercial and institutional grounds

(EPA Registration Number 68173–2) and

Polyoxin D Zinc Salt Technical for

formulation into fungicidal end-use

products (EPA Registration Number

68173–1).

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of polyoxin D zinc salt

(1:1), zinc 5-[[2-amino-5-O-

(aminocarbonyl)-2-deoxy-Lxylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-

dihydro-2,4-dioxo-1 (2H)-pyrimidinyl)-

1,5-dideoxy-β-D-allofuranuronate, 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 polyoxin D zinc

salt (1:1), zinc 5-[[2-amino-5-O-

(aminocarbonyl)-2-deoxy-Lxylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-

dihydro-2,4-dioxo-1 (2H)-pyrimidinyl)-

1,5-dideoxy-β-D-allofuranuronate 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 an EPA

Pesticide Fact Sheet on Polyoxin D zinc

salt.

A copy of this fact sheet, which

provides 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
