Dow Chemical Co.; Approval of Pesticide Product Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications
submitted by Dow Chemical Co., to register the pesticide products
Antimicrobial DTEA 15% and Antimicrobial DTEA Technical containing
active ingredients not included in any previously registered products
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
Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-7964).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of May 27, 1987 (52 FR 19768), which announced that
Dow Chemical Company, P.O. 1706, Midland, MI 48674, had submitted
applications to register the pesticide products Antimicrobial DTEA 15%
and Antimicrobial DTEA Technical (EPA File Symbols 464-ARO and 464-
AEN), containing the active ingredients 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine,
hydrochloride salt and 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine at 15 and 99.8 percent
respectively, active ingredients not included in any previously
registered products.
The applications were approved on October 20, 1993, as
Antimicrobial DTEA 15% to control bacterial, fungal, and algal slimes
in recirculating cooling water systems (EPA Registration Number 464-
619) and Antimicrobial DTEA Technical for manufacturing use only (EPA
Registration Number 464-620).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine, hydrochloride salt
and 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine, 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 2-
(decylthio)ethaneamine, hydrochloride salt and 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine
when used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized
practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to the
environment.
More detailed information on these registrations is contained in a
Chemical Fact Sheet on 2-(decylthio)ethaneamine, hydrochloride salt and
2-(decylthio)ethaneamine.
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
available for public inspection in the Public Response and Program
Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,
