SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability: Electronic

copies of this document and the Fact

Sheet are available from the EPA home

page at the Federal RegisterEnvironmental Documents entry for this

document under ‘‘Regulations’’ (http://

www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).

EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of January 22, 1997 (62

FR 3287; FRL–5582–4), which

announced that W. Neurdorff GmbH

KG, Postfach 1209, and der Muhle 3, D31860 Emmerthal, Germany, had

submitted an application to register the

product NEU 1165M Slug and Snail Bait

(EPA File Symbol 67702–G), containing

the new active ingredient iron

phosphate at 1.0 percent, an active

ingredient not included in any

previously registered product.

The application was approved on

August 14, 1997, as NEU 1165M Slug

and Snail Bait for domestic/noncommercial food use on vegetable

gardens, fruits (including citrus), and

berries; also for outdoor ornamentals,

greenhouses, and lawns (EPA

Registration Number 67702–3).

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of iron phosphate, 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 iron phosphate

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 iron phosphate.

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
