the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of November 1, 1995 (60 FR 55577), which announced 
that Lakeshore Enterprises 2804 Benzie Highway, Benzonia, MI 49616, had 
submitted applications to register the products Green Screen Bags and 
Green Screen Powder (File Symbols 69090-R and 69090-E), containing the 
active ingredient meat meal at 99 percent. The company later published 
a notice in the Federal Register of February 7, 1996 (61 FR 4662) 
amending the active ingredient for both products to include red pepper 
at 1 percent, active ingredients not included in any previously 
registered products. 
    The applications were approved on March 19, 1995, as Green Screen 
Bags (EPA Reg. No. 69090-1) and Green Screen Powder (EPA Reg. No. 
69090-2) for agricultural, vegetable, ornamental, turf, tree, vine, and 
other terrestrial crop uses. 
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of meat meal and red pepper, 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 meat 
meal and red pepper 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 an 
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on meat meal and red pepper.
    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
