AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of applications 
submitted by Miles Inc., to register the pesticide products Folicur 
Technical and Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide 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: Steve Robbins, 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 September 28, 1988 (53 FR 37866), which announced 
that Mobay Corporation (now known as Miles Inc.) P.O. Box 4913, Kansas 
City, MO 64120, had submitted an application to register the pesticide 
product Folicur Technical (File Symbol 3125-GIG), containing the active 
ingredient alpha-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-
1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol at 93 percent, an active ingredient not 
included in any previously registered product. 
    The Agency also received an application from Miles Inc., to 
register the pesticide product Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide (3125-
GOU), containing the active ingredient tebuconazole alpha-[2-(4-
chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-
ethanol at 38.7 percent. However, since the notice of receipt of 
application to register this product as required by section 3(c)(4) of 
FIFRA, as amended was inadvertently omitted in the notice of September 
28, 1988 (53 FR 37866), interested parties may submit comments within 
30 days from the date of publication of this notice for this product 
only. 
    The applications were approved on July 15, 1994, as Folicur 
Technical for formulation into end-use products and terrestrial food 
crop use (EPA Reg. No. 3125-383) and Folicur 3.6 F Foliar Fungicide for 
control of diseases on peanuts (EPA Reg. No. 3125-394). 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of tebuconazole, 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 
tebuconazole 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 tebuconazole.
    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 
must be addressed to the Freedom of Information Office (A-101), 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, D.C. 20460. Such requests should: (1) Identify 
the product name and registration number and (2) specify the data or 
information desired.
