Bicarbonate, F.C.C., containing active ingredients 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: Connie Welch, Product Manager 
(PM) 21, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs, 
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of November 2, 1994 (59 FR 54903), which announced 
that Church and Dwight Co., Inc, 469 North Harrison St., Princeton, NJ 
08543-5297, had submitted applications to register the pesticide 
products Armicarb Potassium Bicarbonate, F.C.C. and Armicarb Sodium 
Bicarbonate, F.C.C., (EPA File Symbols 10772-E and 10772-G), containing 
the active ingredients potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate 
both at 99.9 percent respectively, active ingredients not included in 
any previously registered products. 
    The applications were approved on December 20, 1994, as Armicarb 
Potassium Bicarbonate, F.C.C. and Armicarb Sodium Bicarbonate, F.C.C., 
(EPA Registration Numbers 10772-2 and 10772-3), for formulating use 
into fungicides for plant disease control on flowers, ornamentals, 
turf, fruits, vegetables, and field crops. 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate, 
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 potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate 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 potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
    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 
[[Page 13982]] Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm.
