SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of April 29, 1994 (59 FR 22160), which announced that 
Rohm and Haas, Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19105, had 
submitted applications to register the pesticide products RH-5992 
Technical and Confirm 2F (EPA File Symbols 707-EGT, 707-EGI), 
containing the active ingredient tebufenozide benzoic acid 3,5-
dimethylethyl)-2-(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazide at 97.1 and 23.0 percent 
respectively, an active ingredient not included in any previously 
registered products. 
    On May 15, 1995, EPA approved one technical and one end-use product 
listed below:
    1. RH-5992 Technical (EPA Registration Number 707-237) for 
repackaging, relabeling, formulation, or processing use only.
    2. Confirm 2F (EPA Registration Number 707-238) for use to control 
the lepidepterous pest on walnuts. 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of tebufenozide benzoic acid 3,5-dimethylethyl)-
2-(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazide, 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 tebufenozide 
benzoic acid 3,5-dimethylethyl)-2-(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazide 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 tebufenozide benzoic acid 3,5-dimethylethyl)-2-
(4-ethylbenzoyl)hydrazide.
    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,
