EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of October
9, 1996 (61 FR 52942)(FRL-5395-6), which announced that Babolna
Bioenvironmental Centre Ltd., 1107 Budapest X., Szallas U.6, Hungary,
had submitted an application to register the pesticide product Babolna
Insect Attractant Trap (EPA File Symbol 070062-R), containing the
active ingredient maple lactone [2-hydroxy-3-methyl-cyclo-pent-2-en-1-
one at 1.0%, an active ingredient not included in any previously
registered product. The U.S. Agent for this company is c/o Landis
International Inc., P.O. Box 5126, Valdosta, GA 31603-5209.
The application was approved on September 30, 1998, as Babolna
Insect Attractant Trap for use as a monitoring device and as a control
treatment on cockroaches (EPA Registration Number 70062-1).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of maple lactone, 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 maple
lactone 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 the
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on maple lactone.
A paper copy of the fact sheet, which provides a summary
description of the pesticides, use patterns and formulations, science
findings, and the Agency's regulatory position and rationale, may be
