BURDEN STATEMENT FOR DATA REFERENCE SHEET 

(EPA Form 8570-20; OMB Form No. 0070-0060) 

The public reporting burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average one hour per completed Data Reference 

Sheet. This includes reviewing instructions, identifying 

pertinent references, and citing the references on this 

instrument. It is estimated that approximately eight (8) 

hours are required to prepare a complete set of references for 

an initial application to register a "typical" or "averagelt 

chemical. After that, additional supporting references may 

be necessary but would not require the number of references 

necessary for an initial application to register. Send 

comments regarding this burden, to: Chief, Information Policy 

Branch, PM-223, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 

Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20460; and to the Office of 

Management and Budget, paperwork Reduction project

Subject: Indole-J-Butyric Acid Technical 

Reg. No. 51036-EUO 

Your sUbmission dated June 30, 1995 

Dear Mr. Gaskins, 

Your application for a technical grade indole-3-butyric acid 

label, does not strictly qualify as a repack subject to a 

formulator's exemption, because you are basically relying on a 

selective method of support wherein you cite product chemistry data submitted by syntex, but have also submitted four acute 

ecotoxicity studies. Therefore, we will need a Data Reference 

Sheet (data matrix), as well as a certification with respect to 

citation of Data Form (8570-29). In addition, please submit a 

Confidential statement of Formula (8S70-4) which agrees exactly with the label Ingredient's statement. 

The following label changes are also required: 

L Include a "Net contents" statement at the bottom of the front 

label above your company name, or at the end of label text. 

2. Bring the Ingredients Statement into agreement with the 

Confidential statement of Formula. 

3. Place a Referral statement on the front panel, which reads 

"See side (or back) panel for additional precautionary 

statements." 

4. In the "Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals" section, 

correct the typographical error IIsafety glassed" to "safety glasses II • 

5. Add the phrase "and wash clothing" after "contaminated 

clothing" to read "Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing 

before reuse." 

6. Substitute the following for the existing "Environmental 

Hazards" statement: 

40 
••• 

• 

• • 

"00 not discharge effluent containing this active ingredient 

into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or public waters 

unless this product is specifically identified and addressed in 

an NPDES permit. Do not discharge effluent containing this 

product to systems without previously notifying the sewage 

treatment plant authority. For guidance contact your state Water 

Board or Regional Office of the EPA." 

7. In the "Directions for Use", you may with to add Spinach to 

the approved list of Terrestrial Food Uses, as they appear in the 

RED. conversely, Sweet Potatoes and watermelons appear neither 

in the RED nor in 40CFR 180.1099, and thus must be removed from 

the label. 

8. Divide the eXisting "Disposal" section into "Pesticide 

Disposal" and "Container Disposal" statements. The Pesticide 

Disposal statement should read: "Wastes resulting from use of 

this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste 

disposal facility" 

9. The container Disposal Section should read: I( Completely 

empty liner by shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen 

clinging particles. Then dispose of liner in a sanitary landfill 

or by incineration if allowed by state and local authorities. If 

drum is contaminated and cannot be reused, dispose of in same 

manner," You may substitute an alternate statement indicating 

whether and how the drum may be reused. 

10. Move the sentence "Do not contaminate water, food or feed by 

storage or disposalll to a position directly under the title 

IIStorage and Disposal", blocking the whole section, if possible. 

11. While EPA grants considerable latitude in the wording of a 

warranty statement, the agency cautions against one that is 

overly broad, implying that the user has no legal recourse to 

collect damages incurred during the proper use of a product" 

An example of an acceptable statement is: 

IISeller makes no warranty or guarantee of any kind, expressed or 

implied, concerning effects of use of this product, other than 

those specified on this label. Buyer or user accepts all 

responsibility for results due to misuse or improper handling of 

this product. 1I 

Please submit five copies of a new draft label incorporating 

the above changes. If you have any questions regarding these 

requirements, please contact Dr. Diana Horne at (703) 308-8367.

Re: Indole-3-butyric acid 

Dear Ms. Anderson, 

Box 190 

Sporks. Georgia 31647 

(912) 549-8245 

The enclosed submission is Micro Flo's initial application to 

register a technical grade indole-3 -butyric acid label. This 

product is identical in composition to . The label is identical with the exception of allowable use sites. 

The 

formulations whereas the enclosed draft allows all foliar food uses 

and non-food uses as listed in the Agency's 1992 IBA RED document. 

Micro Flo (as the authorized agent for Plant Growth Formulations) 

and Riverside/Terra Corp. formed a task force in response to the 

1992 RED to generate the following studies: 

154B-6 

1S4B-7 

154B-8 

154B-9 

Acute Avian Oral (quail) 

Acute Avian Dietary (quail) 

Fish Toxicity (trout) 

Invertebrate Toxicity (daphnia) 

•••• 

These study requirements were triggered by the foliar food·u~es 

that were on Micro Flo and Terra's end use formulations. ··~~re 

were (and still are not) any MUP or technical registrations ~th 

food us~ allowed on the labels. Thus the generic da~A·~4quire~ents 

of the RED .' defaulted to Micro Flo and Terra. Micro·Flo·wOu~d·l~ke . .. ....... . .. . to acqulre an IBA technlcal reglstratlon that ;nelud~ •• the 

allowable food uses based on a 100% repack of the pt~~~t.

46 *Product ingredient source information may be entitled to confidential treatment*
-------------------------------- ---

• • 

It has came to our attention that other registrants have recently 

been granted end use registrations for IBA based formulations that 

have food uses. Specifically we are referring to EPA Reg. No. 

65175-2 (Nutrachem, Inc.) and EPA Reg. No. 57538-12 (Stoller 

Enterprises, Inc.). Copies of each label are enclosed for your 

consideration. We suspect that the Agency may have relied upon the 

Micro Flo/Terra data to support these registrations as a NPIRS data 

search reveals no similar submissions for either company. If so, 

we feel that we are due data compensation from these companies and 

any other registrants who seek future IBA registrations with food 

uses on the label. We would appreciate the Agency's confirmation 

of their reliance upon the Micro Flo/Terra data for these 

registrations in order that Micro Flo/Terra might approach these 

companies for potential compensation that may be due. 

Our rationale for the enclosed technical registrations is that it 

will provide us a greater degree of protection for data 

compensation and provide more flexibility in future lBA end use 

registration applications. Please do not hesitate to call if you 

have any questions. 

Regards, 

/f~/cJ~

Dear Mr. Gaskins: 

OffICE Of

BUBS1ANCt:S 

The Agency bas reviewed tile following ecological effects studies submitted in response 

to our September, 1992 lleregi.trntlon Eligibility DecJsion document. OUr decisions are 

dJscussed below. 

154B=6: Avian acute oml - Qua;! IMRID 430267011 

TbJs study ssti,rJ.es tile guidelJne requirement and no additional dsta are required at Ibis 

time. The 14-hour LD., was determined to be in excess of 2150 ppm, classifying mA as 

practically non-toxic to bobwhite quall. The NORC was 1000 ppm, based on reduced feed 

conSUIllption during the first three test days in tile 1470 and 2150 ppm groups. 

1518-7: Ayian acute djeta[y - quail fMRlD 43026702) 

This study sstlsfies the guidelJne requirement and no additional dsta are required at this 

time. The 8"<lay LC .. of > 5000 ppm classifies mA as practically non-toxic to bobwhite quall. 

The NOEC was 5000 ppm. 

154ft-8: Fish toxicity - rainbow t.roI!! fMRlD 42980501) 

This study sstlsfies the guideline requirement and no additional data are required at this 

time. The 96-hcnrLC., >90.5 (mean measured concentrntion) classifies mA as practically nontoxic to rainbow trout. The NORC was determined to be 58.8 mgIL (mean measured 

concentrntlon) based upon the lack of mortality and a sublethal effect (one darkly pigmenred fish) 

at the highest test concentration.
