EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of May 17,
1996 (61 FR 24936; FRL-5367-6), which announced that Woodstream
Corporation, 69 N. Locust St., Lititz, PA 17543-0327, had submitted an
application to register the pesticide product Victor Roach Bait Station
2 (now known as Knockdown Brand Roach Bait System) (EPA File Symbol
47629-E), containing the new active ingredient German cockroach
pheromone at 0.004 percent, which is formulated with boric acid, an
active ingredient not included in any previously registered product.
EPA also published a notice in the Federal Register of June 19,
1996 (61 FR 31104; FRL-5376-2), which announced that Bedoukian
Research, Inc., 21 Finance Drive, Danbury CT 06810-4192, had submitted
applications to register the pesticide products Bedoukian trans-11-
Tetradecenyl Acetate Technical Pheromone and Bedoukian cis-11-
Tetradecenyl Acetate Technical Pheromone (EPA File Symbols 52991-I and
52991-T) containing the ingredients trans-11-tetradecenyl acetate and
cis-11-tetradecenyl acetate at 90 and 96 percent respectively, active
ingredients not included in any previously registered products.
The application for the product Knockdown Brand Roach Bait System
(formerly known as Victor Roach Bait Station 2) was approved on
November 27, 1996, for use to kill cockroaches in homes and commercial
establishments, such as hospitals, restaurants, and schools (EPA
Registration Number 47629-2).
[[Page 32327]]
The applications were approved on February 11, 1997, for
manufacturing or formulating purposes only for the products Bedoukian
trans-11-Tetradecenyl Acetate Technical Pheromone (EPA Registration
Number 52991-8) and Bedoukian cis-11-Tetradecenyl Acetate Technical
Pheromone (EPA Registration Number 52991-7).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of German cockroach pheromone, trans-11-
tetradecenyl acetate, and cis-11-tetradecenyl acetate, 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 German
cockroach pheromone, trans-11-tetradecenyl acetate, and cis-11-
tetradecenyl acetate 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 an
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on German cockroach pheromone, trans-11-
tetradecenyl acetate, and cis-11-tetradecenyl acetate.
A copy of these fact sheets, which provide a summary description of
the pesticides, use patterns and formulations, science findings, and
