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. 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).
