Correction

    In FR Doc. 95-12566 published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, 
May 24, 1995, beginning on page 27505, in the 2nd column, fourth line 
from the top, the sentence ``EPA has determined that all currently 
registered products subject to reregistration containing these active 
ingredients are eligible for reregistration.'', is corrected to read as 
follows: ``EPA has determined that all currently registered products 
subject to reregistration containing Metolachlor are eligible for 
reregistration except those with uses for potatoes, soybeans, and 
peanuts. An eligibility decision for these uses cannot be made at this 
time because under current policies, section 409 tolerances under the 
Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) are needed because 
Metolachlor concentrates in some of the processed fractions of these 
crops and such tolerances may be barred by the Delaney Clause. EPA has 
determined that all currently registered products subject to 
reregistration containing Linuron are eligible for reregistration 
except for the use of Linuron on cotton, potato, non-cropland (rights-
of-way), and sweet corn until additional generic data are submitted. 
The Agency is unable to make a reregistration eligibility decision on 
the use of Linuron on potatoes because under current policies 
tolerances under section 409 of the (FFDCA) are needed for this use, 
but such a tolerance may be barred by the Delaney clause in section 
409.''
    There are no changes regarding Ethephon.

    Dated: July 20, 1995.

Director, Special Review and Reregistration Division, Office of 
Pesticide Programs.
