provisions of section 3(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Sidney C. Jackson, Acting 
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 May 29, 1991 (56 FR 24190), which announced that 
Stine Microbial Products, 4722 Pflaum Road, Madison, WI 53704, had 
submitted applications to register the pesticide products Blue Circle 
and SMP PcpWi (EPA File Symbols 63950-R and 63950-E), containing the 
active ingredient Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin at 3.8 percent for 
both, an active ingredient not included in any previously registered 
products. 
    The applications were approved on December 28, 1992, as Blue Circle 
as a seed treatment on various crops prior to planting (EPA Reg. No. 
63950-1) and SMP PcpWi for manufacturing use only (EPA Reg. No. 63950-
2). 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin, 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 Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin 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 Pseudomonas cepacia type Wisconsin.
    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,
