SUbject: Amended Confidential Statements of Formula, adding alternate formulations 

Product Name: CSI FIP PRO 

EPA Reg. No.: 53883-272 

EPA Decision No. 448461 

Date of Submission: April 22, 2011 

Dear Dr. Turnbough: 

The Agency in accordance with the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act as 

Amended (FIFRA) has completed reviewing all of the information submitted with your 

application to support the amended registration of the aforementioned product and have 

concluded that your submission is unacceptable. 

The additional alternate Confidential Statements of Formula (CSFs) for the 

aforementioned product dated 22 April, 2011 cannot be approved because the Basic CSF is noncompliant, due to inclusion of alternate ingredients. The Agency does not permit alternate 

ingredients or alternate sources of an ingredient to be recited in the Basic CSF. A decision on 

the proposed Alt Nos. 1-5 CSFs will be held in abeyance until such time as the Basic CSF has 

been determined to be ac.ceptable. A copy of the Agency's product chemistry review is attached 

for your records.

Insecticide Branch! RD (7505P) 

INTORDUCTION: 

With a letter dated April 22, 2011 registrant has submitted a revised Basic and five Alt. Nos. 

1·5 CSFs (all dated 4/22/11) to support the registration of the end use product, "CSI FIP PRO 

Insecticide". The proposed formulations reflects an alternate source of the Technical ingredient 

and production facilities (Basic and Alt. Nos. 1 and 5 production site, Pasadena, TX; and Alt. Nos. 

3-4 production site, Beer-Sheva, Israel). TRB has been asked to evaluate the said proposed 

basic and alternate formulations and determine their acceptability. 

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 

1. The proposed end use product contains [EPA Reg. No. 

as the active ingredient with the product label claim of 0.0143%. 

2. The proposed Basis is not filled out correctly in that an alternate ingredient is recited. The 

Agency does not permit alternate sources or ingredients to be recited in the basic CSF. Alt 

Nos. 1-5 CSFs (all dated 4/22/11) are filled out correctly and completely. The CSFs are in 

compliance with PR Notice 91-2 and Title 40 CFR § 152.43. All of the inert ingredients 

present in the formulation have been approved by the Agency for non-food use (6/29/11). 

The upper and lower limits of the active and inert ingredients are in compliance with statutory 

parameters recited in Title 40 CFR § 158.350 (b) (2). The nominal concentration of the active 

ingredient recited in the said Basic and Alt. Nos. t-4 CSFs (all six dated 4/22/11) concurs 

with the product label claim of nominal concentration. 

3. The proposed alternate Nos. 1-5 CSFs (dated 4/22/11) are substantially similar in 

chemical composition and physical-chemical properties with current basic CSF (4/22/11). 

CONCLUSION: 

The TRB has reviewed the proposed Basic CSF (dated 4/22/11) and has determined it to be 

not acceptable in that an alternate ingredient is recited. The Agency does not permit alternate 

ingredients or alternate sources of an ingredient to be recited in the Basic CSF. A decision on 

the proposed Alt. Nos. 1-5 CSFs (all dated 4/22/11) shall be held in abeyance until such time as 

the Basic CSF has been determined the to be acceptable.

Clayton, 

I have really tried to process this decision ( and bounced off several 

industry colleagues) and am not sure I understand. 

I will be glad to cancel the pending amendments due to the issues pointed out 

below ( Timing did not work out with issuance of Tech). However if I know that 

the language is covered on the new source ( issued in April) - just Outdoor 

uses listed on Technical label - then why would my CSF ( new source) for end 

product not follow through as a notification ? It will be registered Tech with 

correct use sites ( covers my end product ?) . 

This is the process as I understand though my thorough review of ,but I 

would be so grateful for further information if you can please clarify? 

I also want to ensure

Because of the very issue we ran into (changing to a technical source 

for which there is label review required to check what uses are 

approved), applications where the active ingredient source is changed 

must be done via fast-track amendment. 

Thanks, and hope this helps.

This pesticide is toxic to birds, fish, aquatic and estuarine (tidewater dwelling) invertebrates. Do not apply 

directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water 

mark. Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Cover, 

incorporate or clean up granules that are spilled. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment 

washwater or rinsate. Do not apply within 15 feet of bodes of fresh water, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, 

permanent streams, marshes, natural ponds, and commercial fish ponds. A 15 feet buffer of uniform 

groundcover must exist between application zone and bodies of freshwater (uniform ground cover is 

defined as land which supports vegetation of greater than 2 inches throughout). 

Do not apply within 60 feet of estuarine bodies of water. Estuarine water bodies are brackish, tidal water 

such as bays, mouths ofrivers, salt marshes, and lagoons. 

In order to reduce risk to birds, ensure that the application is spread evenly over the treatment area In 

In Florida: Do not use this product within 500 feet of areas occupied by the threatened Florida scrub jay,

Dear Ms. Miller: 

OFFICE OF 

PREVENTION, PESTICIDES 

AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES 

March 4, 2010 

The Agency has received and begun its in-depth review of-the subject application and has 

determined that the proposed label submitted for the aforementioned application is deficient. 

Because of mitigation imposed by the Agency in response to the November 15, 2009 expirations 

of a number of fipronil turf products, the product you are citing for similarity was reclassified as 

a Restricted Use Product, due to toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. Therefore, the labeling for 

your product must also indicate this classification. 

This letter is a written notification ofthls deficiency and identifies your options. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 152.105, you are allowed 75 days from the date of this letter ending May 18, 

2010 to provide a response concerning the deficiencies listed in this letter. Your response may 

include making corrections or additions to complete the application, or notifying the Agency of 

the date on which you expect to complete the application, or withdrawing your application. If 

you do not respond to this letter within 75 days or if you respond with a date on which you 

expect to complete the application but fail to meet that scheduled date, the Agency will treat the 

application as if you had withdrawn it. Withdrawal concludes the Agency's review of your 

application. Any subsequent submission of the same application must then be submitted as a 
73

2 

new application with a new deadline for EPA to make a determination on your application and 

subject to a new registration service fee. 

The deficiencies identified in the Agency's review at this time are as follows: 

Product labeling does not contain the required box and verbiage for a Restricted Use 

Product. A revised label must be submitted. 

Please respond to this letter by May 18, 2010 by contacting Clayton Myers (by phone at 

703-347-8874 or bye-mail at mvers.clayton@epa.gov during the hours of 8:00 am to 4:30 pm 

EST with a response and for any questions concerning this letter. When submitting information 

or data in response to this letter, a copy of this letter should accompany the submission to 

facilitate processing.

Footnotes 

A During the 21 day initial content review, all eSFs will be reviewed to deteooine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting 

mistakes on the esp, etc. or 2) provide the data to support OPP approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

eSF and may require submission of data. All information, fooos, data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdrawn within the 21 day period, otherwise, the Agency will reject the 

application as described below. 

To successfully complete this aspect of the 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 
79

site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/lists.html] and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are no longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (lIAB) at inertsbranch@epa.gov and resolve the issue. Copies ofthe 

correspondence with nAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by IIAB. The lIAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://wwv.i.epa.gov/oppbppdllbiopesticides/contactsbppd.htm]. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional information such as an alternate name of the inert, CAS number or other 

information [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/tips.pdf] must also be included 

to enable the Agency to determine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this infOlmation to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component information to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. If the inert ingredients in a proprietary blend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21-day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit infonnation to the individual 

identifIed by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the infonnation and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 
80

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

Ifnone of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

C~nventional New Product Applications 

\Vhen the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new 'product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R311, R312 or R313), it will contact the applicant with the 

following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (This option may change the PRlA 

category for the application, which could require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 2l-day 

content-review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

\Vhen the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it will contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the spelling or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CFR 174, or providing documentation that thE< inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss harmonizing the timeframe for both actions. 

5 
81

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

Ifnone of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21 day 

content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the fee. 

B. A policy on documentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me-too or fast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 or AS30, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R301 or 

AS31. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applicati.ons to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss study waivers 

prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation of such discussions 

should be submitted with the study waiver.
