SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications
submitted by Stine Microbial Products., to register the pesticide
products Blue Circle and SMP PcpWi containing an active ingredient 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: Sidney C. Jackson, Acting
Product Manager (PM) 21, Registration Division (7505C), Office of
Pesticide Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office
location and telephone number: Rm. 227, CM #2, Environmental Protection
Agency, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-6900).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of May 29, 1991 (56 FR 24190), which announced that
Stine Microbial Products, 4722 Pflaum Road, Madison, WI 53704, had
submitted applications to register the pesticide products Blue Circle
and SMP PcpWi (EPA File Symbols 63950-R and 63950-E), containing the
active ingredient Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin at 3.8 percent for
both, an active ingredient not included in any previously registered
products.
The applications were approved on December 28, 1992, as Blue Circle
as a seed treatment on various crops prior to planting (EPA Reg. No.
63950-1) and SMP PcpWi for manufacturing use only (EPA Reg. No. 63950-
2).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin, 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 cepacia type Wisconsin 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 Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin.
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,
