SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Electronic Availability: Electronic copies of this document and the
Fact Sheet are available from the EPA home page at the Environmental
Sub-Set entry for this document under ``Regulations'' (http://
www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).
EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of September
4, 1996 (61 FR 46642; FRL-5391-9), which announced that AgriDyne
Technologies, Inc., 2401 S. Foothill Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84109,
had submitted applications to register the pesticide products Daza
Technical and Daza 4.5 WDG (EPA File Symbols 62552-RE and 62552-RU),
containing the new active ingredient dihydroazadirachtin at 17.5 and
4.5 percent respectively, an active ingredient not included in any
previously registered products.
The applications for Daza Technical and Daza 4.5 WDG were later
transferred to Thermo Trilogy, Inc., 1500 Grace Drive, Columbia, MD
21044-4098. The products were designated new EPA File Symbols (70051-RE
and 70051-RU), containing the same active ingredient
dihydroazadirachtin at 17.5 and 4.5 percent respectively.
The applications were approved on June 11, 1997 and June 23, 1997,
respectively, as Daza Technical for manufacturing use only (EPA
Registration Number 70051-29) and Daza 4.5 WDG for indoor and outdoor
use in ornamentals, turf, agronomic and horticultural crops (EPA
Registration Number 70051-31).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of dihydroazadirachtin, 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 and safety determinations which show that use of
dihydroazadirachtin 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 dihydroazadirachtin.
A copy of this fact sheet, which provides a summary description of
the pesticides, 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, the list of data references, the data and other scientific
information used to support registration, except for material
specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are available for public
