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

SUMMARY: This Notice, pursuant to section 6(f)(2) of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et 
seq., announces that EPA has issued Notices of Intent to Suspend 
pursuant to sections 3(c)(2)(B) and 4 of FIFRA. The Notices were issued

Reregistration Requirements Notices to take appropriate steps to secure 
the data required to be submitted to the Agency. This Notice includes 
the text of a Notice of Intent to Suspend, absent specific chemical, 
product, or factual information. Table A of this Notice further 
identifies the registrants to whom the Notices of Intent to Suspend 
were issued, the date each Notice of Intent to Suspend was issued, the 
active ingredient(s) involved, and the EPA registration numbers and 
names of the registered product(s) which are affected by the Notices of 
Intent to Suspend. Moreover, Table B of this Notice identifies the 
basis upon which the Notices of Intent to Suspend were issued. Finally, 
matters pertaining to the timing of requests for hearing are specified 
in the Notices of Intent to Suspend and are governed by the deadlines 
specified in section 3(c)(2)(B). As required by section 6(f)(2), the 
Notices of Intent to Suspend were sent by certified mail, return

SUBJECT: Suspension of Registration of Pesticide Product(s) 
Containing Rotenone for Failure to Comply with the Rotenone Section 
4 Phase 5 Reregistration Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice 
Dated March 30, 1998

Dear Sir/Madam:

    This letter gives you notice that the pesticide product 
registrations listed in Attachment I will be suspended 30 days from 
your receipt of this letter unless you take steps within that time to 
prevent this Notice from automatically becoming a final and effective 
order of suspension. The Agency's authority for suspending the 
registrations of your products is sections 3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Upon becoming a 
final and effective order of suspension, any violation of the order 
will be an unlawful act under section 12(a)(2)(J) of FIFRA.

    You are receiving this Notice of Intent to Suspend because you have 
failed to comply with the terms of the Phase 5 Reregistration 
Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice imposed pursuant to section 
4(g)(2)(b) and section (3)(2)(B) of FIFRA.

    The specific basis for issuance of this Notice is stated in the 
Explanatory Appendix (Attachment III) to this Notice. The affected 
products and the requirements which you failed to satisfy are listed 
and described in the following three attachments:

    Attachment I Suspension Report - Product List

    Attachment II Suspension Report - Requirement List

    Attachment III Suspension Report - Explanatory Appendix

    The suspension of the registration of each product listed in 
Attachment I will become final unless at least one of the following 
actions is completed.

    1. You may avoid suspension under this Notice if you or another 
person adversely affected by this Notice properly request a hearing 
within 30 days of your receipt of this Notice. If you request a 
hearing, it will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 
section 6(d) of FIFRA and the Agency's procedural regulations in 40 CFR 
part 164.

    Section 3(c)(2)(B), however, provides that the only allowable 
issues which may be addressed at the hearing are whether you have 
failed to take the actions which are the bases of this Notice and 
whether the Agency's decision regarding the disposition of existing 
stocks is consistent with FIFRA. Therefore, no substantive allegation 
or legal argument concerning other issues, including but not limited to 
the Agency's original decision to require the submission of data or 
other information, the need for or utility of any of the required data 
or other information or deadlines imposed, and the risks and benefits 
associated with continued registration of the affected product, may be 
considered in the proceeding. The Administrative Law Judge shall by 
order dismiss any objections which have no bearing on the allowable 
issues which may be considered in the proceeding.

    Section 3(c)(2)(B)(iv) of FIFRA provides that any hearing must be 
held and a determination issued within 75 days after receipt of a 
hearing request. This 75-day period may not be extended unless all 
parties in the proceeding stipulate to such an extension. If a hearing 
is properly requested, the Agency will issue a final order at the 
conclusion of the hearing governing the suspension of your products.

    A request for a hearing pursuant to this Notice must (1) include 
specific objections which pertain to the allowable issues which may be 
heard at the hearing, (2) identify the registrations for which a 
hearing is requested, and (3) set forth all necessary supporting facts 
pertaining to any of the objections which you have identified in your 
request for a hearing. If a hearing is requested by any person other 
than the registrant, that person must also state specifically why he 
asserts that he would be adversely affected by the suspension action 
described in this Notice. Three copies of the request must be submitted 
to: Hearing Clerk, 1900, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, and an additional copy should be sent 
to the signatory listed below. The request must be received by the 
Hearing Clerk by the 30th day from your receipt of this Notice in order 
to be legally effective. The 30-day time limit is established by FIFRA 
and cannot be extended for any reason. Failure to meet the 30-day time 
limit will result in automatic suspension of your registration(s) by 
operation of law and, under such circumstances, the suspension of the 
registration for your affected product(s) will be final and effective 
at the close of business 30 days after your receipt of this Notice and 
will not be subject to further administrative review.

    The Agency's Rules of Practice at 40 CFR 164.7 forbid anyone who 
may take part in deciding this case, at any stage of the proceeding, 
from discussing the merits of the proceeding ex parte with any party or 
with any person who has been connected with the preparation or 
presentation of the proceeding as an advocate or in any investigative 
or expert capacity, or with any of their representatives. Accordingly, 
the following EPA offices, and the staffs thereof, are designated as 
judicial staff to perform the judicial function of EPA in any 
administrative hearings on this Notice of Intent to Suspend: The Office 
of the Administrative Law Judges, the Office of the Judicial Officer, 
the Administrator, the Deputy Administrator, and the members of the 
staff in the immediate offices of the Administrator and Deputy 
Administrator. None of the persons designated as the judicial staff 
shall have any ex parte communication with trial staff or any other 
interested person not employed by EPA on the merits of any of the 
issues involved in this proceeding, without fully complying with the 
applicable regulations.

    2. You may also avoid suspension if, within 30 days of your receipt 
of this Notice, the Agency determines that you have taken appropriate 
steps to comply with the Section 4 Phase 5 Reregistration Eligibility 
Document Data Call-In Notice requirements. In order to avoid suspension 
under this option, you must satisfactorily comply with Attachment II, 
Requirement List, for each product by submitting all required 
supporting data/information described in Attachment II and in the 
Explanatory Appendix (Attachment III) to the following address 
(preferably by certified mail):
Office of Compliance (2225A), Agriculture and Ecosystems Division,

[[Page 27256]]

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 
20460.

    For you to avoid automatic suspension under this Notice, the Agency 
must also determine within the applicable 30-day period that you have 
satisfied the requirements that are the bases of this Notice and so 
notify you in writing. You should submit the necessary data/information 
as quickly as possible for there to be any chance the Agency will be 
able to make the necessary determination in time to avoid suspension of 
your product(s).

    The suspension of the registration(s) of your company's product(s) 
pursuant to this Notice will be rescinded when the Agency determines 
you have complied fully with the requirements which were the bases of 
this Notice. Such compliance may only be achieved by submission of the 
data/information described in the attachments to the signatory below.

    Your product will remain suspended, however, until the Agency 
determines you are in compliance with the requirements which are the 
bases of this Notice and so informs you in writing.

    After the suspension becomes final and effective, the registrant 
subject to this Notice, including all supplemental registrants of 
product(s) listed in Attachment I, may not legally distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.

    Persons other than the registrant subject to this Notice, as 
defined in the preceding sentence, may continue to distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.

    Nothing in this Notice authorizes any person to distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I in any manner which would 
have been unlawful prior to the suspension.

    If the registrations of your products listed in Attachment I are 
currently suspended as a result of failure to comply with another 
Section 4 Data Requirements Notice or Section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In 
Notice, this Notice, when it becomes a final and effective order of 
suspension, will be in addition to any existing suspension, i.e., all 
requirements which are the bases of the suspension must be satisfied 
before the registration will be reinstated.

    You are reminded that it is your responsibility as the basic 
registrant to notify all supplementary registered distributors of your 
basic registered product that this suspension action also applies to 
their supplementary registered products and that you may be held liable 
for violations committed by your distributors. If you have any 
questions about the requirements and procedures set forth in this 
suspension notice or in the subject section 4 Data Requirements Notice, 
please contact Francisca Liem at (202) 564-2365.
Sincerely yours,

Director, Agriculture and Ecosystems Division, Office of Compliance

IV. Attachment III Suspension Report--Explanatory Appendix

    This Explanatory Appendix provides a discussion of the basis for 
the Notice of Intent to Suspend issued herewith.
Rotenone

    In October 1988, the Agency issued the Rotenone Registration 
Standard which included a Data Call-In Notice affecting your Rotenone 
product registration(s). That Notice required that you select options 
as to how you were going to satisfy data requirements to maintain in 
effect your product registration(s). You sought and were granted a 
Generic Data Exemption (GDE) based on your response to the Rotenone 
Registration Standard. Two registrants previously committed to produce 
the generic data for Rotenone. Those registrants subsequently notified 
the Agency that they have decided not to support any terrestrial crop 
uses.

    On March 30, 1998, the Agency sent a letter to all Rotenone 
registrants requiring them to elect options for supporting the 
terrestrial crop uses of Rotenone. You received this letter on April 6, 
1998, as evidenced by a return receipt green card.

    The letter sent you on March 30, 1998, required that you respond to 
the Agency within 30 days following your receipt of the letter on your 
selection of options to satisfy data requirements for the terrestrial 
crop uses of Rotenone, among those identified in the letter. To date, 
the Agency has not received a response from you despite additional 
attempts to contact your company by telephone.

    Failure to satisfy the outstanding data requirements is a basis for 
suspension under (3)(c)(2)(b) of FIFRA. Since you have not satisfied 
the data requirements either by submission of the data or a selection 
of another appropriate option, the Agency is issuing this Notice of 
Intent to Suspend.

V. Conclusions

    EPA has issued Notices of Intent to Suspend on the dates indicated. 
Any further information regarding these Notices may be obtained from 
the contact person noted above.

    Dated: May 10, 1999.
