Roussel Bio Corp.; Approval of Pesticide Product Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications 
submitted by Roussel Bio Corporation to register the pesticide products 
K-Othrine SC 5.0 and Deltamethrin Technical, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: George LaRocca, Product 
Manager (PM) 13, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and 
telephone number: Rm. 204, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921 
Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-6100).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued notices, published in the Federal 
Register of July 1, 1992 (57 FR 29311) and November 18, 1992 (57 FR 
54402), which announced that Roussel Bio Corp., 170 Beaver Brook Road, 
Lincoln Park, NJ 07035, had submitted applications to register the 
pesticide products K-Othrine SC 5.0, and Deltamethrin Technical, (EPA 
File Symbols 432-TAG and 432-TAE), containing the active ingredients 
deltamethrin (s)-alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(1R,3R)-3-(2,2-
dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylate at 4.75 percent and 
(1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid 
(S)-alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl ester at 98 percent respectively, 
active ingredients not included in any previously registered products. 
    On March 2, 1994, EPA approved two new products (one end-use and 
one technical) as follows:
    1. K-Othrine SC 5.0 (EPA Registration Number 432-763) for use in 
and around residential, industrial, institutional structures, and their 
immediate surroundings.
    2. Deltamethrin Technical (EPA Registration Number 432-762) for 
formulating purposes only.
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of deltamethrin, 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 
deltamethrin 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 deltamethrin.
    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
