EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of October 9, 1996 (61

FR 52944; FRL–5397–1), which

announced that Stine Microbial

Products, 2225 Laredo Trail, Adel, IA

50003, had submitted an application to

register the product Blue Circle Liquid

Biological Fungicide (File Symbol

63950–A), containing the active

ingredient Burkholderia cepacia type

Wisconsin isolate J82 at 0.6 percent, an

active ingredient not included in any

previously registered product. The

active ingredient concentration was

subsequently corrected from 0.6 to 2

percent.

The application was approved on

December 24, 1996, as Blue Circle

Liquid Biological Fungicide (EPA

Registration Number 63950–6), for

application to food and nonfood plant

and seedling roots.

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of Burkholderia

cepacia type Wisconsin isolate J82, 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 Burkholderia

cepacia type Wisconsin isolate J82

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 Burkholderia

cepacia type Wisconsin isolate J82.

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

Program Resources Branch, Field

Operations Division (7506C), Office of

Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,
