(PRN) 98-10 dated September 5, 2011 for the product:



### Disodium Octaborate

Tetrahydrate EPA Reg. No. 87445-1

The Registration Division (RD) has conducted a review of this request for its applicability under PRN 98-10

and finds that the action(s) requested does not clearly fall within the scope ofPRN 98-10.

The primary name must be on the label with the alternate brand name you are requesting. The Agency does

not accept Supreme as part of the product name because it implies heightened efficacy.

If you have any questions, please contact Linda A. DeLuise at 703.305.5428.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr.Kutcel: OFFICE OF

PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND

TOXIC SUBSTANCES



### Subject: Transfer of Pesticide Registrations and Data From Company Number 79628 to

Company Number 87445

Pursuant to your request in your letter and transfer agreement of January 25, 2011, we

have approved the transfer of the following registrations from 

## WOOD TREATMENT

PRODUCTS, INC., company number 79628 to 

## BORATES PLUS, INC., company number

87445.

The effective date of these changes is the date of this letter.

Registered Products Old EPA

Reg. No.

DIS ODIUM OCTABORATE TETRAHYDRATE 79628-1 New EPA

Reg. No.

87445-1

You should indicate the new company designation, new EPA Registration Number and

new Establishment Number (if it 

### has changed) on the labeling at the next printing which should

occur no later than 18 months after the effective date of this transfer. After 18 months, any

product released for shipment must bear the new Registration Number and Establishment

Number. If you intend to use the labels which currently appear on the transferor's product after

the effective date of the transfer, but within the 18 month grace period, you must maintain

complete and accurate records which identify by batch number, lot number, or other suitable

description the quantities of such product bearing the transferor's label. Each container or

package bearing the transferor's label which is released after the effective date of product

registration transfer, must be clearly and accurately marked with the batch number, lot number or

other descriptive designation used to identify the product in your records.

Supplemental distribution agreements of registered products do not transfer with the

Section 3 registration. It 

### is your responsibility as the registrant to notify any and all supplemental

distributors of the transferred product(s) of this transfer agreement. 

### If you wish to enter into

### supplemental distribution agreements of your product(s) under this new registration, the form

"Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product," EPA Form 8570-5,

must be submitted to the Agency for each supplemental distributorship.

You are required to contact your local EPA Regional Office to determine what effect this

transfer of pesticide registrations has on the pesticide production establishment registration.

It 

### will not be necessary to submit labeling for review if the only changes are in the

company designation and the EPA Registration Number. Other changes in the product and/or

labeling may require EPA review and approval prior to distribution or sale of the product

containing the new registration number. In any correspondence on these products always refer to

the U.S. EPA Registration Number listed above.

The transferred registration will have the same status under the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, 7 USC 136 et seq., as it had prior to the approval of

this transfer.

When registrations are transferred from one company to a second company, all

restrictions, data requirements, conditions (suspensions), and deadlines existing on the

registrations are transferred with the registrations. The new company is responsible for adhering

to or complying with all such restrictions, etc. on the acquired products.

With regard to deadlines, the transferee company is responsible for submitting all

required data according to the schedules already established for the acquired products. Failure to

do so will result in the issuance of a Notice of Intent to Suspend. Requests from transferee

companies for additional time to submit, because they acquired the registration(s) after the

3(c)(2)(B) request was issued will not be granted. If 

### a transferee company has other valid

reasons for delays in the testing which were clearly outside of their control, then such requests for

time extensions will be considered in accordance with the established procedures. Transfers

occurring while a 3 (c)(2)(B) request is being issued or during the 90-day response time are

subject to the same conditions expressed above.

Registration is in no way to be construed as an endorsement or approval of these products

by the Agency. In order to protect health and the environment, the Administrator, on his motion,

may at any time suspend or cancel the registration of a pesticide in accordance with FIFRA.

Furthermore, the transfer of the subject registrations is approved under the condition that

the annual maintenance fee obligation has been fully satisfied. The marginal maintenance fee is

determined based solely on the total number of active section 3 and section 24( c) registrations

held by the transferor. If the annual maintenance fee has not been fully satisfied, the transferee

and transferor will be notified to comply within a specified time period or the affected

registrations may be canceled.

The Agency acknowledges it has received a request for data transfer dated January 25,

2011 to transfer data ownership from the transferor to the transferee. The data transfer is

effective the date of this letter. After this date BORATES PLUS, INC. will be considered the

data owner. This action will not automatically reflect on the Data Submitters List. If you want to

be added to the Data Submitters List, you must submit a request to:

questions about this transfer approval please contact Louis Vaughn at (703) 308-8114.
