ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[OPP-30374; FRL-4915-3]
Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.; Approval of a
Pesticide Product Registration
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of an application
submitted by Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., to register the
pesticide product RYH-86NA, containing an active ingredient not
included in any previously registered product pursuant to the
provisions of section 3(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Ruth Douglas, Product Manager
(PM) 32, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs,
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone
number: Rm. 278, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921 Jefferson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA received an application from Yoshitomi
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., 6-9, Hiranomachi 2-Chome Chou-ku,
Osaka 541, Japan to register the pesticide product RYH-86NA (EPA File
Symbol 63898-R), containing the active ingredient 4,5 dichloro-1,2-
dithiol-3-one at 48.20 percent, an active ingredient not included in
any previously registered product. However, since the notice of receipt
of application to register this product did not publish in the Federal
Register, as required by section 3(c)(4) of FIFRA, as amended,
interested parties may submit written comments within 30 days from the
date of publication of this notice.
The application was approved on August 11, 1994, as RYH-86NA for
formulation into end-use products only (EPA Registration Number 63898-
1).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one, 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 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one 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 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one.
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

Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,
