Miles Inc.; Approval of Pesticide Product Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications
submitted by Miles Inc., to register the pesticide products Folicur
Technical and Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide containing an active
ingredient 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Steve Robbins, Product
Manager (PM) 21, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide
Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and
telephone number: Rm. 227, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921
Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-6900).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of September 28, 1988 (53 FR 37866), which announced
that Mobay Corporation (now known as Miles Inc.) P.O. Box 4913, Kansas
City, MO 64120, had submitted an application to register the pesticide
product Folicur Technical (File Symbol 3125-GIG), containing the active
ingredient alpha-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-
1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol at 93 percent, an active ingredient not
included in any previously registered product.
The Agency also received an application from Miles Inc., to
register the pesticide product Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide (3125-
GOU), containing the active ingredient tebuconazole alpha-[2-(4-
chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-
ethanol at 38.7 percent. However, since the notice of receipt of
application to register this product as required by section 3(c)(4) of
FIFRA, as amended was inadvertently omitted in the notice of September
28, 1988 (53 FR 37866), interested parties may submit comments within
30 days from the date of publication of this notice for this product
only.
The applications were approved on July 15, 1994, as Folicur
Technical for formulation into end-use products and terrestrial food
crop use (EPA Reg. No. 3125-383) and Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide for
control of diseases on peanuts (EPA Reg. No. 3125-394).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of tebuconazole, 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
tebuconazole 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 tebuconazole.
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 registration,
except for material specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are
available for public inspection in the Public Response and Program
Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,
Arlington, VA 22202 (703-305-5805). Requests for data must be made in
accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and
must be addressed to the Freedom of Information Office (A-101), 401 M
