SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability: Electronic copies of this document and the 
Fact Sheet are available from the EPA home page at the Federal Register 
Environmental Sub-Set entry for this document under ``Laws and

    EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of May 21, 
1998 (63 FR 27960) (FRL-5789-1), which announced that Premium 
Compounded Products, LLC, Wilmington, DE 19802, had submitted 
applications to register the pesticide products Migratrol R001 a 
Manufacturing Use Product and Cuprous Chloride Technical (EPA File 
Symbols 71280-G and 71280-R), containing the new active ingredient 
cuprous chloride at 48.25% and 96.5% respectively, an active ingredient 
not included in any previously registered products.
    The applications were approved on September 30, 1998, as Migratrol 
R001 and Cuprous Chloride Technical for formulating end-use plant 
growth regulator products only (EPA Registration Numbers 71280-3 and 
71280-1), respectively.
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of cuprous chloride, and information on social, 
economic, and environmental benefits to be derived from use. 
Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of the pesticide 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 cuprous 
chloride when used in accordance with widespread and commonly 
recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse 
effects to the environment.
    More detailed information on this registration is contained in an 
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on cuprous chloride.
    A paper copy of the 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.
