Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67791), which announced
that Mauri Laboratories, 9 Moorebank Ave., Moorebank, NSW 2170
Australia, had submitted an application to register the pesticide
product Victus (EPA File Symbol 67186-R), containing the active
ingredient Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIB 12089 at 1 percent, an
active ingredient not included in any previously registered product.
The application was approved on August 5, 1994, as Victus for the
control of bacterial blotch on cultivated mushrooms (EPA Registration
Number 67186-1).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIB 12089, 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 Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIB 12089 when used in
accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice, will not
generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
More detailed information on this registration is contained in an
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIB 12089.
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
