SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency has issued Reregistration 
Eligibility Decision (RED) documents for the pesticidal active 
ingredients listed below. Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act, as amended in 1988, EPA is conducting an accelerated 
reregistration program to reevaluate existing pesticides to make sure 
they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. The data base to 
support the reregistration of each of the chemicals listed below is 
substantially complete. EPA has determined that all currently 
registered products subject to reregistration containing these active 
ingredients are eligible for reregistration.

    List A -
    Case 0632       Barium Metaborate Monohydrate;
    Case 0577       Methiocarb;

    List C -
    Case 3084       Lithium Hypochlorite;
    Case 3070       Ethanolamine;

    List D -
    Case 4015       Bromine;
    Case 4064       Mineral Acids;
    Case 4072       Peroxy Compounds;
    Case 4097       Vegetable and Flour Oils;

    To request a copy of any of the above listed RED documents, or a 
RED Fact Sheet, contact the OPP Pesticide Docket, Public Response and 
Program Resources Branch, in Room 1132 at the address given above or 
call (703) 305-5805.
    All registrants of products containing one or more of the above 
listed active ingredients have been sent the appropriate RED documents 
and must respond to labeling requirements and product specific data 
requirements (if applicable) within 8 months of receipt. Products 
containing the other active ingredients will not be reregistered until 
adequate product specific data have been submitted and all necessary 
product label changes are implemented.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally 
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes both the need to make timely 
reregistration decisions and to involve the public. Therefore, EPA is 
issuing these REDs as final documents with a 60-day comment period. 
Although the 60-day public comment period does not affect the 
registrant's response due date, it is intended to provide an 
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any 
necessary amendments to the RED. All comments will be carefully 
considered by the Agency. If any comment significantly affect a RED, 
EPA will amend the RED by publishing the amendment in the Federal 
Register.
