Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.; Approval of a 
Pesticide Product Registration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of an application 
submitted by Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., to register the 
pesticide product RYH-86NA, containing an active ingredient not 
included in any previously registered product 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: Ruth Douglas, Product Manager 
(PM) 32, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs, 
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone 
number: Rm. 278, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921 Jefferson 
Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-7964).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA received an application from Yoshitomi 
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., 6-9, Hiranomachi 2-Chome Chou-ku, 
Osaka 541, Japan to register the pesticide product RYH-86NA (EPA File 
Symbol 63898-R), containing the active ingredient 4,5 dichloro-1,2-
dithiol-3-one at 48.20 percent, an active ingredient not included in 
any previously registered product. However, since the notice of receipt 
of application to register this product did not publish in the Federal 
Register, as required by section 3(c)(4) of FIFRA, as amended, 
interested parties may submit written comments within 30 days from the 
date of publication of this notice. 
    The application was approved on August 11, 1994, as RYH-86NA for 
formulation into end-use products only (EPA Registration Number 63898-
1). 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one, 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 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one 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 4,5 dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one.
    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
