D-I-1-4, Inc.; Approval of a Pesticide Product Registration
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of an application to
register the pesticide product 1,4Sight, 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: Cynthia Giles-Parker, Product
Manager (PM) 22, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide
Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and
telephone number: Rm. 229, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA received an appplication from D-I-1-4,
Inc., 15401 Cartwright Road, Boise, ID 83703, to register the pesticide
product 1,4Sight (File Symbol 67727-R), containing the active
ingredient 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene at 94.7 percent, an active
ingredient not included in any previously registered product. However,
since the notice of receipt of application was not published in the
Federal Register, as required by 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 February 2, 1995, as 1,4Sight for
use as an aerosol to control the sprouting of potatoes during the
storage phase (EPA Registration Number 67727-1).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene, 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 1,4-
dimethylnaphthalene 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 a
Chemical Fact Sheet on 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene.
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,
