ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Statement of Policy for Pesticide Products Used Together or 
Sequentially; Notice of Availability and Request for Comments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is soliciting comments on a proposed policy for labeling 
of pesticide products used together or sequentially. That policy has 
been developed in a draft Pesticide Regulation (PR) Notice entitled, 
``Labeling Limitations for Products Used Together or Sequentially'' 
which is available upon request. Interested parties may request a copy 
of the Agency's proposed policy as set forth in the ADDRESSES unit of 
this notice.

DATES: Written comments, identified by the docket number [OPP-00389], 
must be received on or before October 28, 1994.

ADDRESSES: The PR Notice is available from Jeff Kempter, By mail: 
Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. 
Office location and telephone number: Rm. 713, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson

In person bring comments to: Rm. 1128, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis

    Information submitted and any comment(s) concerning this notice may

40 CFR part 2. A copy of the comment(s) that does not contain CBI must 
be submitted for inclusion in the public record. Information not marked 
confidential may be disclosed publicly by EPA without prior notice to 
the submitter. Information on the proposed test and any written 
comments will be available for public inspection in Rm. 1128 at the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Jeff Kempter (7505C), 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. 
Office location and telephone number: Rm. 713, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson 
Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 305-5448.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pesticide products may be mixed or used 
after other pesticides according to label directions. However, 
sometimes products bear labeling statements which prohibit or advise 
against using certain products together or after each other to prevent 
crop phytotoxicity, incompatibility, reduction of efficacy or adverse 
effects to humans or the environment. The Agency is proposing guidance 
on when such labeling statements will be approved. The proposed policy 
is that the Agency will require or approve mandatory labeling 
statements prohibiting or limiting use of one product with or after 
another only if data are submitted which demonstrate that unreasonable 
adverse effects will occur without such statements. If EPA is not 
persuaded by the data or no data are submitted, the Agency will approve 
advisory statements which recommend that a product not be used with or 
after another.
    This Federal Register notice announces the availability of the 
draft PR Notice and solicits comment on the proposed policy. If, after 
reviewing any comments, EPA determines that changes to the policy are 
warranted, the Agency will revise the draft PR Notice prior to release.
