SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of May 10, 1994 (59 FR 24151), which announced that 
Gardens Alive Inc., 5100 Schenley Place, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025, had 
submitted an application to register the pesticide product A-Maizing 
Lawn (EPA File Symbol 56872-R), containing the active ingredient maize 
gluten meal at 100 percent, an active ingredient not included in any 
previously registered product. 
    The application was approved on June 7, 1994, as A-Maizing Lawn for 
use on turfgrass and ornamentals (EPA Registration Number 56872-1).
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of maize gluten meal, 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 maize 
gluten meal when used in accordance with widespread and commonly 
recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse 
effects to the environment.
    More detailed information on this registration is contained in an 
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on maize gluten meal.
    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,
