SUMMARY: This notice announces

Agency approval of applications to

register the pesticide products Green

Screen Bags and Green Screen Powder,

containing active ingredients not

included in any previously registered

products pursuant to the provisions of

section 3(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of November 1, 1995

(60 FR 55577), which announced that

Lakeshore Enterprises 2804 Benzie

Highway, Benzonia, MI 49616, had

submitted applications to register the

products Green Screen Bags and Green

Screen Powder (File Symbols 69090–R

and 69090–E), containing the active

ingredient meat meal at 99 percent. The

company later published a notice in the

Federal Register of February 7, 1996 (61

FR 4662) amending the active ingredient

for both products to include red pepper

at 1 percent, active ingredients not

included in any previously registered

products.

The applications were approved on

March 19, 1995, as Green Screen Bags

(EPA Reg. No. 69090–1) and Green

Screen Powder (EPA Reg. No. 69090–2)

for agricultural, vegetable, ornamental,

turf, tree, vine, and other terrestrial crop

uses.

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of meat meal and red

pepper, 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

meat meal and red pepper 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 an EPA

Pesticide Fact Sheet on meat meal and

red pepper.

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

Program Resources Branch, Field

Operations Division (7506C), Office of

Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,

Arlington, VA 22202 (703-305–5805).
