includes printed, paper versions of any

electronic comments submitted during

an applicable comment period, is

Information and Records Integrity

Branch (PIRIB), Rm. 119, Crystal Mall

#2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy.,

Arlington, VA, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, excluding legal

holidays. The PIRIB telephone number

is (703) 305–5805.

In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of

FIFRA, a copy of the approved label, the

list of data references, 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 Information

and Records Integrity Branch,

Information Resources and Services

Division (7502C), Office of Pesticide

Programs, Environmental Protection

Agency, Rm. 119, Crystal Mall #2,

Arlington, VA (703) 305–5805. Requests

for data must be made in accordance

with the provisions of the Freedom of

Information Act and must be addressed

to the Freedom of Information Office

(A–101), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,

Washington, DC 20460. Such requests

should: Identify the product name and

registration number and specify the data

or information desired.

A paper copy of the fact sheet, which

provides more detail on this

registration, may be obtained from the

National Technical Information Service

(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road,

Springfield, VA 22161.

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 Pseudomonas

chlororaphis strain 63–28, 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 Pseudomonas chlororaphis

strain 63–28 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.

III. Conditionally Approved

Registrations

Federal Register of November 25, 1998
