Technical, Difethialone Pellets, and Difethialone Pellets Place Packs
(EPA File Symbols 7173-ENU, 7173-ENL, and 7173-ENA), containing the
active ingredients [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 at 97.6,
0.0025, and 0.0025 percent respectively, active ingredients not
[[Page 33416]] included in any previously registered products.
EPA subsequently received an application from LipaTech, to register
the pesticide product Generation Rodenticide Bait Packs (Pellets) (File
Symbol 7173-ERR), containing the active ingredients [(bromo-4'-
[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4) -3-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4,
2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 at 0.0025 percent. However, since the notice
of receipt of application did not publish in 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 for
this product only. Comments and data may also be submitted
electronically by sending electronic mail (e-mail to: docket@epamail.epa.gov. More detailed information is contained in all
documents requesting comments as of May 1995.
On May 3, 1995, EPA approved one technical and three end-use
products as follows:
1. Difethialone Technical for formulation only into registered end-
use rodenticides used in and around buildings and in transport vehicles
(EPA Registration Number 7173-204).
2. Generation Pellets (formerly Difethialone Pellets) for indoor
and outdoor (around buildings in urban areas) rodent control of house
mice, Norway rats, and warfarin resistant Norway rats (EPA Registration
Number 7173-205).
3. Generation Pellets Placepacks (formerly Difethialone Pellets
Place Packs) for indoor and outdoor (around buildings in urban areas)
rodent control of house mice, Norway rats, and warfarin resistant
Norway rats (EPA Registration Number 7173-206).
4. Generation Rodenticide Bait Packs (Pellets) for indoor and
outdoor (around buildings in urban areas) rodent control of house mice,
Norway rats, and warfarin resistant Norway rats (EPA Registration

The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2, 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 [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-
naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 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 [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2.
