to these new strains of late blight, and

some growers have completely lost their

crops and will go out of business. These

costs do not include the increased

amount of money spent on fungicides in

attempts to control this disease. Under

appropriate conditions, it is possible

that this disease could develop to

epidemic proportions, causing major

changes and losses to the U.S. potato

industry. Although exemption requests

have thus far been received from DE,

MN, NY, PA and WI, EPA expects to

receive requests from other potato

growing states as well.

The Applicants propose to apply

cymoxanil at a maximum rate of 0.1 lbs.

active ingredient [a.i.], (1.25 lb. of

product) per acre, by ground or air, with

a maximum of 5 applications per

season, to a maximum of the following

acreages of potatoes: 5,000 (DE), 60,000

(MN), 30,000 (NY), 24,000 (PA), 30,000

(WI). Therefore, use under this

exemption could potentially amount to

the following maximum amounts of

cymoxanil: DE: 2,500 lbs. a.i. (31,250

lbs. product); MN: 30,000 lbs. a.i.

(375,000 lbs. product); NY: 15,000 lbs.

a.i. (187,500 lbs. product); PA: 12,000

lbs. a.i. (150,000 lbs. product); WI:

15,000 lbs. a.i. (187,500 lbs. product).

The Applicants propose to apply

dimethomorph at a maximum rate of

0.18 lbs. a.i. (2.25 lb. of product) per

acre, by ground or air, with a maximum

of 5 applications per season, to a

maximum of the following acreages of

potatoes: 5,000 (DE), 60,000 (MN),

30,000 (NY), 24,000 (PA), 30,000 (WI).

Therefore, use under this exemption

could potentially amount to the

following maximum total amounts of

dimethomorph: DE: 4,500 lbs. a.i.

(56,250 lbs. product); MN: 54,000 lbs.

a.i. (675,000 lbs. product); NY: 27,000

lbs. a.i. (337,500 lbs. product); PA:

21,600 lbs. a.i. (270,000 lbs. product);

WI: 27,000 lbs. a.i. (337,500 lbs.

product). This notice does not constitute

a decision by EPA on the applications.

The regulations governing section 18

require publication of a notice of receipt

of an application for a specific

exemption proposing use of a new

chemical (i.e., an active ingredient not

contained in any currently registered

pesticide). Such notice provides for

opportunity for public comment on the

application. Accordingly, interested

persons may submit written views on

this subject to the Field Operations

Division at the address above.

Federal Register. Thereafter, the

Administrator may approve such a

request.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

This notice announces receipt by the

Agency of applications from registrants

registrations listed in the following

Table 1. These registrations are listed by

registration number, product names,

active ingredients and the specific uses

desire continued use on crops or sites

being deleted should contact the

applicable registrant before August 1,

1995 to discuss withdrawal of the

applications for amendment. This 90-
