Rohm and Haas Co.; Approval of

Pesticide Product Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces

Agency approval of applications

submitted by Rohm and Haas Company,

to conditionally register the pesticide

products Enable 2F, RH-7592 Technical,

and Indar WSP containing a new active

ingredient not included in any

previously registered products pursuant

to the provisions of section 3(c)(7)(C) of

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: Cynthia Giles-Parker, Product

Manager (PM) 22, Registration Division

(7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.

Office location and telephone number:

Rm. 229, CM #2, Environmental

Protection Agency, 1921 Jefferson Davis

Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703–305–

5540).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of February 5, 1992 (57

FR 4450), which announced that Rohm

and Haas Co., 100 Independence Mall

West, Philadelphia, PA 19106, had

submitted applications to conditionally

register the pesticide products Indar 2F

(now known as Enable 2F) and RH-7592

Technical (EPA File Symbols 707–EGR

and 707–EGN), containing the active

ingredient fenbuconazole alpha-[2-(4-

chlorophenyl)ethyl]-alpha-phenyl-1H1,2,4-triazole-1-propanenitrile at 22.8

and 98.3 percent respectively, an active

ingredient not included in any

previously registered products.

EPA later received an application

from the company to register the

product Indar 75WSP (EPA File Symbol

707–EGO), containing the active

ingredient fenbuconazole at 75 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.

The applications were approved on

February 15, 1995, for one technical and

two end-use products listed below:

1. RH-7592 Technical for formulation

and manufacture of fungicides only

(EPA Registration Number 707–230).

2. Enable 2F for disease control on

pecans (EPA Registration Number 707–

231).

3. Indar 75WSP for use to to control

diseases on apricots, cherries,

nectarines, and peaches (EPA

Registration Number 707–239).

A conditional registration may be

granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) of

FIFRA for a new active ingredient where

certain data are lacking, on condition

that such data are received by the end

of the conditional registration period

and do not meet or exceed the risk

criteria set forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that

use of the pesticide during the

conditional registration period will not

cause unreasonable adverse effects; and

that use of the pesticide is in the public

interest.

The Agency has considered the

available data on the risks associated

with the proposed use of fenbuconazole,

and information on social, economic,

and environmental benefits to be

derived from such use. Specifically, the

Agency has considered the nature 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 and safety determinations

which show that use of fenbuconazole

during the period of conditional

registration will not cause any

unreasonable adverse effect on the

environment, and that use of the

pesticide is, in the public interest.

These products are conditionally

registered in accordance with FIFRA

section 3(c)(7)(C). If the conditions are

not complied with the registrations will

be subject to cancellation in accordance

with FIFRA section 6(e). The terms of

the conditional registrations will require

Rohm and Haas Company to submit the

following studies:

1. Fish Life Cycle (Guideline

Reference Number 72–5).

2. Growth and Reproduction of

Aquatic Plants - Tier 2 (123–2).

3. Droplet Size Spectrum (201–1).

4. Drift Field Evaluation (202–1).

5. Storage Stability of Fenbuconazole

Reflecting a 49-month Storage Period

(171–4(e]).

Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C), the

Agency has determined that these

conditional registrations are in the

public interest. Use of the pesticides are

of significance to the user community,

and appropriate labeling, use directions,

and other measures have been taken to

ensure that use of the pesticides will not

result in unreasonable adverse effects to

man and the environment.

More detailed information on these

conditional registrations is contained in

an EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on

fenbuconazole.

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

registration, except for material

specifically protected by section 10 of

FIFRA, are available for public

inspection in the Public Response and

Mevinphos; Amendment to

Cancellation Order and FIFRA Section

6(g) Notification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of issuance of amended

cancellation order.

SUMMARY: On June 30, 1994, Amvac

Chemical Corporation (Amvac) of Los

Angeles, California, requested voluntary

cancellation of all registrations

containing mevinphos (2-carbomethoxy1-methylvinyl dimethyl phosphate,

alpha and beta isomers, trade name

Phosdrin). Pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA canceled

all mevinphos registrations on July 1,

1994. The Cancellation Order contained

certain limitations upon the

distribution, sale, and use of existing

stocks of canceled pesticide products

containing mevinphos. EPA has

modified the existing stocks provision

of the Cancellation Order to extend the

period for sale, distribution, and use of

existing stocks of certain canceled

products containing mevinphos through

November 30, 1995. At the end of this

period, all product in the channels-oftrade, including product in the hands of

growers, will be subject to a recall

which has some provisions for

reimbursement. Product sold after

February 27, 1995, will be labelled with

additional protective requirements. This

notice also amends the timeframe for

reporting the possession of canceled

mevinphos products as required under

section 6(g) of FIFRA.

DATES: The amended cancellation order

became effective January 13, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

A. Background

On June 30, 1994, Amvac requested

voluntary cancellation of all pesticide

product registrations containing

mevinphos as an active ingredient. On

July 1, 1994, EPA issued a Cancellation

Order for all mevinphos registrations

pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f)(1). In the

Federal Register of August 1, 1994 (59

FR 38973), EPA issued a Notice

announcing receipt of the request for

cancellation, the Cancellation Order,

and the FIFRA section 6(g) notification

requirements. The Cancellation Order

prohibited the distribution and sale of

existing stocks of canceled pesticide

products containing mevinphos after

December 31, 1994, and prohibited the

use of existing stocks after February 28,

1995. Existing stocks refer to those

stocks of previously-registered

mevinphos products which were in the

United States and were packaged,

labeled, and released for shipment prior

to the cancellation on July 1, 1994. Also,

the Order required Amvac to develop

and implement an acceptable Recall

Plan for the recall of mevinphos

products that were in the hands of

dealers and distributors after December

31, 1994.

On December 28, 1994, EPA amended

the Cancellation Order by extending

distribution and sale of existing stocks

of canceled mevinphos products

through January 14, 1995, to facilitate

work on a pending agreement between

EPA and Amvac. On January 13, 1995,

EPA entered into an agreement with

Amvac and issued a new amendment to

the Cancellation Order which changed

the existing stocks provisions in the

amended Cancellation Order by

extending the period for distribution,

sale, and use of mevinphos, established

new use restrictions, and ordered the

recall of mevinphos products.
