sodium-o-nitrophenolate, and sodium-5-

nitroguaiacolate at 82, 98, and 98

percent respectively, The product,

Atonik (File Symbol 64922–R), also

included in this notice, contains the

three active ingredients listed above at

0.3, 0.2, and 0.1 percent respectively,

active ingredients not included in any

previously registered products.

EPA subsequently received an

application from Asahi Chemical Co., to

register the pesticide product Atonik

Manufacturing Use Product (File

Symbol 64922–L), containing the active

ingredients sodium-p-nitrophenolate,

sodium-o-nitrophenolate, sodium-5-

nitroguaiacolate at 0.334, 0.223, and

0.111 percent. However, since the notice

of receipt of application was not

published in Federal Register as

required by FIFRA, as amended,

interested parties may submit written

comments within 30 days from the date

of publication of this notice for this

product only.

On January 20, 1995, EPA approved

five new products as follows:

1. Atonik Plant Growth Stimulator

(EPA Registration Number 64922–1) for

use to increase nutrient intake in cotton,

rice, and soybeans.

2. Sodium-p-Nitrophenolate

Technical (EPA Registration Number

64922–3) for formulation of plant

regulators and use on cotton, rice, and

soybeans.

3. Sodium-o-Nitrophenolate

Technical (EPA Registration Number

64922–4) for formulation of plant

regulators and use on cotton, rice, and

soybeans.

4. Sodium-5-Nitroguaiacolate

Technical (EPA Registration Number

64922-2) for formulation of plant

regulators and use on cotton, rice, and

soybeans.

5. Atonik Manufacturing Use Product

(EPA Registration Number 64922–5) for

for formulation of plant regulators and

use on cotton, rice, and soybeans.

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of sodium-pnitrophenolate, sodium-onitrophenolate, and sodium-5-

nitroguaiacolate, and information on

social, economic, and environmental

benefits to be derived from use.

Specifically, the Agency has considered

the nature of the chemical and its

pattern of use, application methods and

rates, and level and extent of potential

exposure. Based on these reviews, the

Agency was able to make basic health

safety determinations which show that

use of sodium-p-nitrophenolate,

sodium-o-nitrophenolate, and sodium-5-

nitroguaiacolate when used in

accordance with widespread and

commonly recognized practice, will not

generally cause unreasonable adverse

effects to the environment.

More detailed information on these

registrations is contained in a Chemical

Fact Sheet on sodium-p-nitrophenolate,

sodium-o-nitrophenolate, and sodium-5-

nitroguaiacolate.

A copy of this fact sheet, which

provides a summary description of the

chemical, use patterns and

formulations, science findings, and the

Agency’s regulatory position and

rationale, may be obtained from the

National Technical Information Service

(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road,

Springfield, VA 22161.

In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of

FIFRA, a copy of the approved label and

the list of data references used to

support registration are available for

public inspection in the office of the

Product Manager. The data and other

scientific information used to support
