ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[OPP-00389; FRL-4911-1]
Statement of Policy for Pesticide Products Used Together or
Sequentially; Notice of Availability and Request for Comments
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is soliciting comments on a proposed policy for labeling
of pesticide products used together or sequentially. That policy has
been developed in a draft Pesticide Regulation (PR) Notice entitled,
``Labeling Limitations for Products Used Together or Sequentially''
which is available upon request. Interested parties may request a copy
of the Agency's proposed policy as set forth in the ADDRESSES unit of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments, identified by the docket number [OPP-00389],
must be received on or before October 28, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Jeff Kempter (7505C),

Office location and telephone number: Rm. 713, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson
Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 305-5448.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pesticide products may be mixed or used
after other pesticides according to label directions. However,
sometimes products bear labeling statements which prohibit or advise
against using certain products together or after each other to prevent
crop phytotoxicity, incompatibility, reduction of efficacy or adverse
effects to humans or the environment. The Agency is proposing guidance
on when such labeling statements will be approved. The proposed policy
is that the Agency will require or approve mandatory labeling
statements prohibiting or limiting use of one product with or after
another only if data are submitted which demonstrate that unreasonable
adverse effects will occur without such statements. If EPA is not
persuaded by the data or no data are submitted, the Agency will approve
advisory statements which recommend that a product not be used with or
after another.
This Federal Register notice announces the availability of the
draft PR Notice and solicits comment on the proposed policy. If, after
reviewing any comments, EPA determines that changes to the policy are
warranted, the Agency will revise the draft PR Notice prior to release.
