SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of May 31, 1995 (60 FR

28407; FRL-4956-1), which announced

that Rhone-Poulenc AG Company, P.O.

Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive,

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, had

submitted applications to register the

products Chipco Gauntlet 0.1G (now

known as Chipco Choice) and Fipronil

Technical (File Symbols 264–LLN and

264–LLU), containing the active

ingredient fipronil 5-amino-1-(2,6-

dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-

((1,R,S)-(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl)-1-Hpyrazole-3-carbonitrile at 0.1 and 96.5

percent.

The applications were approved on

May 1, 1996, as Chipco Choice (formerly

Chipco Gauntlet 0.1G) for use on golf

and commercial turf to control mole

crickets (EPA Reg. No. 264–550) and

Fipronil Technical for formulation into

insecticide products (EPA Reg. No. 264–

554).

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of fipronil 5-amino-1-

(2,6-dichloro-4-

(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-((1,R,S)-

(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl)-1-H-pyrazole3-carbonitrile, 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 fipronil 5-amino-1-(2,6-dichloro4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-((1,R,S)-

(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl)-1-H-pyrazole3-carbonitrile 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 fipronil 5-

amino-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-

(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-((1,R,S)-

(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl)-1-H-pyrazole3-carbonitrile.

provides a summary description of the

chemical, use patterns and

formulations, science findings, and the

Agency’s regulatory position and
