SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of February 22, 1995 (60 FR 9838), which announced 
that LipaTech, Inc., 3101 West Custer Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53209, had 
submitted applications to register the pesticide products Difethialone 
Technical, Difethialone Pellets, and Difethialone Pellets Place Packs 
(EPA File Symbols 7173-ENU, 7173-ENL, and 7173-ENA), containing the 
active ingredients [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 at 97.6, 
0.0025, and 0.0025 percent respectively, active ingredients not 
[[Page 33416]] included in any previously registered products.
    EPA subsequently received an application from LipaTech, to register 
the pesticide product Generation Rodenticide Bait Packs (Pellets) (File 
Symbol 7173-ERR), containing the active ingredients [(bromo-4'-
[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4) -3-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 
2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 at 0.0025 percent. However, since the notice 
of receipt of application did not publish in Federal Register as 
required by FIFRA, as amended, interested parties may submit written 
comments within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice for 
this product only. Comments and data may also be submitted 
electronically by sending electronic mail (e-mail to: opp-
[email protected]. More detailed information is contained in all 
documents requesting comments as of May 1995.
    On May 3, 1995, EPA approved one technical and three end-use 
products as follows:
    1. Difethialone Technical for formulation only into registered end-
use rodenticides used in and around buildings and in transport vehicles 
(EPA Registration Number 7173-204).
    2. Generation Pellets (formerly Difethialone Pellets) for indoor 
and outdoor (around buildings in urban areas) rodent control of house 
mice, Norway rats, and warfarin resistant Norway rats (EPA Registration 
Number 7173-205).
    3. Generation Pellets Placepacks (formerly Difethialone Pellets 
Place Packs) for indoor and outdoor (around buildings in urban areas) 
rodent control of house mice, Norway rats, and warfarin resistant 
Norway rats (EPA Registration Number 7173-206).
    4. Generation Rodenticide Bait Packs (Pellets) for indoor and 
outdoor (around buildings in urban areas) rodent control of house mice, 
Norway rats, and warfarin resistant Norway rats (EPA Registration 
Number 7173-211). 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2, 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 [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-
naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2 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 [(bromo-4'-[biphenyl-1-1']-yl-4)-3-tetrahydro-
1,2,3,4-naphthyl-1]-3-hydroxy-4, 2H-1-benzothiopyran-one-2.
    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.
