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

11030 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 21, 2001 / Notices

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 FlucarbazoneSodium, 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

Flucarbazone-Sodium 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.
