Flammability Labeling Requirements for Total Release Fogger 
Pesticides

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: A proposed rule relating to the flammability labeling 
requirements for total release fogger pesticides was published by the 
Agency in the Federal Register on April 15, 1994 (59 FR 18058). The 
comment period for the Proposed Rule expired on June 14, 1994. Based on 
a request from S.C. Johnson Son, EPA is reopening the period for 
comment on this proposed rule for 90 days in order to receive as much 
input as possible.
DATES: Comments, identified by the document control number [OPP-
36189A], must be received on or before December 15, 1994.

ADDRESSES: By mail, submit comments to: Public Response and Program 
Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460. In person, bring comments to: Room 1132, CM #2,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has proposed to require additional 
precautionary labeling relating to the flammability of total release 
fogger pesticides (59 FR 18058, April 15, 1994). EPA expects that the 
additional flammability label warnings will reduce the potential for 
fires and explosions by alerting consumers to the dangers of total 
release fogger and providing specific directions for proper use of 
these products with minimal cost to industry or consumers. The comment 
period on this proposed rule expired on June 14, 1994. Based on a 
request from S.C. Johnson Son, EPA is reopening the period for comment 
on this proposed rule for 90 days in order to receive as much input as 
possible.
    S.C. Johnson is conducting a market/consumer study to test the 
effectiveness of the proposed language in commmunicating to users the 
hazards associated with these kinds of products. This research will be 
conducted within the 90-day comment period and the results will be 
provided to the Agency for consideration.
