Dear Ms. Fernandez: 

As part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s pursuit of greater efficiency and lower costs, the Agency 

plans to make greater use of the electronic transmission of information. Historically, EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs 

has sent paper Data Call-In (DCI) Notices by certified mail and a return-receipt card was signed/dated and returned to 

EPA. The Agency believes that sending DCIs electronically by e-mail is more efficient. 

This email message and the attached file constitute EPA’s electronic transmission of a DCI Notice to you. The DCI Notice 

requires you, a registrant of pesticide products containing the active ingredient fenamidone, to take certain steps and 

submit certain data to the EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs, Pesticide Re-evaluation Division within the time frames 

provided in the DCI to maintain the continued registration of your product(s) containing the active ingredient(s). 

Please open and read the attached file. You are required to send a complete and adequate e-mail response to the 

Agency acknowledging receipt of the original e-mail and DCI transmission by EPA. Within the next five business days, 

please respond to this e-mail transmission by “forwarding with attachments” your response by e-mail to EPA as follows:

“I, [insert your name and title], have received from U.S. EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs the pesticide 

DCI (GDCI-046679-1446 for fenamidone) on [insert date] for [insert registrant name as shown on the 

attached DCI Forms]. Additionally, I have successfully opened the file attachment(s) that accompanied 

the transmittal e-mail.” 

If you are an agent for the registrant, include this additional information in the acknowledgement statement above: 

“I am the agent for [insert registrant name as shown on the attached DCI Forms].” 

Send your acknowledgement e-mail with the original attachment(s) to me, the chemical review manager for 

fenamidone, Christina Scheltema, via e-mail, at scheltema.christina@epa.gov. 

The attached file contains the DCI Notice and its cover letter, attachments, and instructions concerning the active 

ingredient. As per the cover letter and instructions provided, see the DCI with its attachments. Within 90 days after your 

company receives this DCI Notice, you must respond to the DCI and its data requirements as further required by the 

DCI. Specific deadlines for submission of reports and data are set forth in the DCI and its attachments. 

A copy of the DCI will be placed in the Registration Review docket for the active ingredient at www.regulations.gov. If you 

have any questions about the DCI or cannot open the attachments, please contact the Chemical Review Manager, 

identified in Attachment 1: Data Call-In Chemical Status Sheet, by e-mail or letter. 

Sincerely, 

Christina Scheltema
