II. Did EPA Conditionally Approve the

Application?

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 novaluron, 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 novaluron 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.

Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of

FIFRA, 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.
