SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications to
register the pesticide products Detur and Flowtron Octenol, containing
active ingredients 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.

Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,
Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone number: Rm. CS51B6,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of August 24, 1994 (59 FR 43577), which announced that
IJO Products, Inc., P.O. Box 778, El Centra, CA 92244, had submitted an
application to register the product Detur (68186-R), containing the
active ingredient jojoba oil at 97.5 percent. A notice also published
in the Federal Register of October 25, 1995 (60 FR 54686), which
announced that Armatron International, Inc., Melrose, MA 02176, had
submitted an application to register the product Flowtron Octenol
(34473-U), containing the ingredient 1-octen-3-OL at 73 percent, active
ingredients not included in any previously registered products.
The applications were approved on January 17, 1996, as Detur for
use on all raw agricultural commodities (EPA Reg. No. 68186-1) and
Flowtron Octenol for use as a mosquito attractant to make insect
killers more effective in luring and killing certain mosquitoes and
biting flies (EPA Reg. No. 34473-4).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of jojoba oil and 1-octen-3-OL, 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 jojoba
oil and 1-octen-3-OL 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 jojoba oil and 1-octen-3-OL.
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
