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

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications 
submitted by DowElanco Co., to register the pesticide products DE-473 
Insecticide Concentrate and NAF-46 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: Robert Brennis, Acting 
Product Manager (PM) 10, Registration Division (7505C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office 
location and telephone number: Rm. 210, CM #2, Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-6788).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of September 8, 1993 (58 FR 47275), which announced 
that DowElanco Co., 9002 Purdue Road, Indianapolis, IN 4668, had 
submitted applications to register the pesticide products DE-473 
Insecticide Concentrate and NAF-46 (EPA File Symbols 62719-EUU and 
62719-EUG), containing the active ingredient hexaflumuron N(((3,5-
dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluorethoxy)phenyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,6-
difluoro benzamide at 97 and 0.1 percent respectively, an active 
ingredient not included in any previously registered products. 
    The applications were approved on March 10, 1994, as DE-473 
Insecticide Concentrate for manufacturing use only (EPA Registration 
Number 62719-244) and NAF-46 for use as an integrated monitoring and 
baiting system to control the subterranean termites (EPA Registration 
Number 62719-243). 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of hexaflumuron N(((3,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-
tetrafluorethoxy)phenyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,6-difluoro benzamide, 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 hexaflumuron N(((3,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-
tetrafluorethoxy)phenyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,6-difluoro benzamide 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 hexaflumuron N(((3,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-
tetrafluorethoxy)phenyl)amino)carbonyl)-2,6-difluoro benzamide.
    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
