AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of an application 
submitted by Buckman Laboratories, Inc., to conditionally register the 
pesticide product Busan 1104 containing a new active ingredient not 
included in any previously registered product pursuant to the 
provisions of section 3(c)(7)(C) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Marion Johnson, Product 
Manager (PM) 31, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and 
telephone number: Rm. 250, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921 
Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-5675).


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice published in the Federal 
Register of September 2, 1992 (57 FR 40186; FRL-4081-5), which 
announced that Buckman Laboratories, Inc., 1256 N. McLean Blvd. 
Memphis, TN 38108, had submitted an application to register the 
pesticide product Busan 1104 (EPA File Symbol 1448-GLR) containing the 
active ingredient 1H-pyrazole-1-methanol 3,5-dimethyl at 93 percent, an 
active ingredient not included in any previously registered product. 
    The application was approved on August 19, 1996, as Busan 1104, a 
preservative in manufacturing emulsion paints, adhesives, latex 
emulsions, polishes, waxes, papermaking chemicals, coatings, 
detergents, inks, textiles, and construction materials (EPA 
Registration Number 1448-351).
    A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) 
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking 
because a period reasonably sufficient for generation of the data has 
not elapsed since the Administrator first imposed the data 
requirements, on condition that such data are received by the end of 
the conditional registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk 
criteria set forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during 
the conditional registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse 
effects on the environment; and that use of the pesticide is in the 
public interest.
    The Agency has considered the available data on the risks 
associated with the proposed use of 1H-pyrazole-1-methanol 3,5-
dimethyl, and information on social, economic, and environmental 
benefits to be derived from such 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 and safety determinations which show that use of 1H-pyrazole-1-
methanol 3,5-dimethyl during the period of conditional registration is 
not expected to cause any unreasonable adverse effect on the 
environment, and that use of the pesticide is in the public interest.
    Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C), the Agency has determined that 
this conditional registration is in the public interest. Use of the 
pesticides are of significance to the user community, and appropriate 
labeling, use directions, and other measures have been taken to ensure 
that use of the pesticides will not

result in unreasonable adverse effects to man and the environment.
    More detailed information on this conditional registration is 
contained in the EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on 1H-pyrazole-1-methanol 
3,5-dimethyl. 
    A copy of the 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,
