Worker Protection Standard Satellite Video conference December 16, 1993
_______________________________________________________________________
The 1992 Federal Worker Protection Standard requires that all
agricultural workers involved in the production of agricultural plants on
farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses in the United States receive
training in pesticide safety. The training requirements of the law go
into effect in April 1994.
What Is The Purpose Of This Video conference?
"How to Conduct Worker Protection Training" is a national satellite video
training session that serves as an EPA - approved "train the trainer"
program designed to instruct potential trainers in the use of the
EPA core training module and the EPA materials for agricultural
worker safety training. It will be held on December 16, 1993
at 12:00 noon - 3:00 p.m.
Who Should Participate?
--Trainers or certified applicators
--Agricultural employers and/or designated trainers
--Members of farm worker organizations
--Representatives of State lead agencies
--Private citizens seeking to establish training businesses
An application has been made to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation for 3 recertification credits; therefore
this conference should be conducted similar to other recertification
workshops.
--Use course number 662572 for certificates and rosters.
--Please notify the Pesticide Management Education Program (PMEP) office if
you will be hosting the conference.
--Title the course "HOW TO CONDUCT... WORKER PROTECTION TRAINING"
--Attendees will obtain 3 recertification credits for attending. Use the same
recertification roster per other recertification workshops.
--Require everyone attending the conference to sign the recertification roster
(this way we have a record of all those attending the train-the-trainer
conference). Keep one copy for your records, send PMEP a photo copy, and
return a copy of the roster to Mr. Dick Hager, NYSDEC 625 Broadway, Albany, NY
12233.
--Create Recertification Certificates with the pertenent information given
above.
Further information will follow, but begin now to plan for
linking with this satellite program. Contact your nearest
Satellite Conference Coordinator for details in providing this
type of program. How to Comply Manuals can be obtained from Gempler's (1,800-
382-8473).

New Federal Pesticide Tax Proposed
___________________________________
A new tax on pesticides to raise money to improve farming systems has
been proposed in a report "Soil and Water Quality: An Agenda for Agriculture
by the committee of the National Research Council's Board on Agriculture. The
tax, if approved, would be used to sustain soil and water quality programs.
Pesticide & Toxic Chemical News, 11/17/93
Pesticide Tolerances; Portion of Food Commodities to be Analyzed
for Pesticide Residues
_________________________________________________________________
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing
to amend its pesticide tolerance regulations to clarify how
raw agricultural commodities are defined for conducting residue
data development and analysis used in establishing and enforcing
a tolerance. Consistency must be maintained between commodity
definitions used for developing residue data to support tolerances
and definitions used for enforcing those tolerances. The Agency
is proposing these clarifications to promote greater consistency
in tolerance setting and enforcement among similar commodities.
EPA believes that establishing uniform definitions and policies
will assist the regulated community, laboratories which conduct
residue analyses, and enforcing Agencies in determining compliance
with tolerance regulations. Moreover, because these revisions
are generally harmonious with international policies on commodity
definition and analysis, food commodities will generally be
subject to comparable requirements in foreign countries and
within the U.S., promoting efficiency in enforcement and increased
protection of the food supply.
FR Doc. 93-23868 Filed 9-28-93
Pesticide Chemicals Category Effluent Limitations Guidelines,
Pretreatment Standards, and New Source Performance Standards
_____________________________________________________________
This EPA final regulation limits the discharge of pollutants
into navigable waters of the United States and into publicly
owned treatment works by existing and new facilities that manufacture
organic pesticide active ingredients. At a later date, EPA intends
to propose effluent limitations guidelines and standards for
facilities which formulate, package, and/or repackage pesticide
active ingredients into final products. This regulation establishes
effluent limitations guidelines under the Clean Water Act based
on ``best practicable control technology (BPT)'', ``best conventional
pollutant control technology (BCT)'', ``best available technology
(BAT)'', new source performance standards (NSPS) based on ``best
available demonstrated technology'', and pretreatment standards
for new and existing indirect dischargers (PSNS and PSES, respectively).
EPA is also promulgating new test procedures for the analysis
of pesticide pollutants in the Pesticide Chemicals Category.
In developing these regulations, EPA has fully considered pollution
prevention practices that are available in the pesticides manufacturing
industry, and the Agency has based these regulations on such
practices to the extent possible.
This regulation became effective October 28, 1993.
The compliance date for PSES is as soon as possible, but no
later than September 28, 1996. The compliance dates for NSPS
and PSNS are the dates the new sources begin operation. Deadlines
for compliance with BPT, BCT and BAT are established in National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
Approval of a Pesticide Product Registration
_____________________________________________
This EPA notice announced Agency approval of an application
submitted by R. C. G., Inc., to register the pesticide product
Roach-Repel an insecticide containing an active ingredient not
included in any previously registered product pursuant to the
provisions of section 3(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.
FR Doc. 93-23748 Filed 9-28-93
Ciba-Geigy Corp; Approval of Pesticide Product Registrations
_____________________________________________________________
This notice announces Agency approval of applications
submitted by Ciba-Geigy Corp., to register the pesticide products
Agree Biological Insecticide and Technical CGA-237218 containing
an active ingredient not included in any previously registered
products pursuant to the provisions of section 3(c)(5) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),
as amended.
The application for Agree Biological Insecticide was approved
on September 8, 1992, for control of lepidopterous insect pests
of certain terrestrial fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and
flowers, as well as tobacco, corn and cotton (EPA Registration
Number 100-733). Technical CGA-237218 was approved on September
8, 1992, for manufacturing use only (EPA Registration Number
100-734). Both products were approved containing the same active
ingredient as listed above at 3.8 and 7.5 percent respectively.
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai
Strain GC-91 protein toxin, 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 Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai Strain GC-91
protein toxin when used in accordance with widespread and commonly
recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse
effects to the environment.
FR Doc. 93-23745 Filed 9-28-93
Abbott Laboratories; Approval of Pesticide Product Registrations
________________________________________________________________
This notice announces Agency approval of applications
submitted by Abbott Laboratories, to conditionally register
the pesticide products Xentari Water Dispersible Granule and
Xenatri Technical Powder containing a new active ingredient
not included in any previously registered products pursuant
to the provisions of section 3(c)(7)(C) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.
EPA issued a notice published in the Federal Register of July 31, 1992
(57 FR 33958), which announced that Abbott Laboratories, Chemical and
Agricultural Products Division, 1401 North Sheridan Road, North Chicago, IL
60064, had submitted applications to register the pesticide products
Xentari Water Dispersible Granule and Xentari Technical Powder
(EPA File Symbols 275-IL and 275-IA) containing Bacillus thuringiensis
subsp. aizawai lepidopteran active toxin(s) at 10.3 and 19 percent
respectively; an active ingredient not included in any currently
registered products.
These applications were approved on August 20, 1992, as Xentari
Water Dispersible Granule (EPA Registration Number 275-85) for
terrestrial, greenhouses, and aquatic food crop uses and Xentari
Technical Powder (EPA Registration Number 275-86) for manufacturing
use only.
The Agency has considered the available data on the risks
associated with the proposed use of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp.
aizawai lepidopteran active toxin(s), 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 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai
lepidopteran active toxin(s) 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.
These conditionally registrations will expire on January
15, 1994. The data are listed below:
1. A 30-day Freshwater Fish Toxicity/Pathogenicity Testing
(EPA Reference Guidelines 154A-19).
2. Nontarget Arthropod Testing for Toxicity/Pathogenicity
to Arthropod Predators/Parasites for Trichogramma pretiosum
(154A-233).
3. Freshwater Aquatic Invertebrate Toxicity/Pathogenicity
Testing (154A-20).
4. Determination of Source of Unexpected Activity Against
Nontarget Invertebrates.
Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C), the Agency has determined
that these conditional registrations are 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.

This notice announces Agency approval of an application
submitted by Unocal Corp., to conditionally register the pesticide
product Enzone 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. EPA issued a notice published in
the Federal Register of March 30, 1988 (53 FR 10284), which
announced that Unocal Chemical Division, Unocal Corp., 1201
W. 5th St., Los Angeles, CA 90017, had submitted an application
to conditionally register the nematicide/fungicide product GY-
81 (EPA File Symbol 612-L) containing the active ingredient
sodium tetrathiocarbonate at 31.8 percent, an active ingredient
not included in any previously registered product. The application as
originally applied was for the product ``GY-81.'' The application was approved
on June 17, 1993, as ``Enzone'' (EPA Registration Number 612-5) for management
of plant-parasitic nematodes, phylloxera, and oak root fungus on
grapes and for the management of citrus nematodes, oak root
fungus, and phytophthora root rot on grapefruit, lemons, and
oranges.

______________________________________________________________
EPA has received from the Uniroyal Chemical Co. the
filing of an amendment to pesticide petition (PP) 6F3372 and
food additive petition (FAP) 6H5497 proposing to establish various
tolerances for residues of the fungicide triflumizole in or
on various raw agricultural commodities.
1. PP 6F3372. Proposed amending 40 CFR part 180 by establishing
tolerances for the combined residues of the fungicide triflumizole,
1-(1-((4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)imino)-2-propoxyethyl)-
1H-imidazole and its analine-containing metabolites 4-chloro-
2-trifluoromethylaniline and N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylaniline
and N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-propoxyacetamide, in
or on the following commodities: apples at 0.1 part per million
(ppm); cattle, fat, meat and meat byproducts (mbyp) at 0.05
ppm; grapes at 0.3 ppm; hogs, fat, meat and mbyp at 0.05 ppm;
milk at 0.05 ppm; pears at 0.1 ppm; and poultry, eggs, fat,
meat and mbyp at 0.05 ppm. The proposed method for determining
residues is chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
2. FAP 6H5497. Proposed amending 21 CFR part 193 (redesignated
as 40 CFR part 185) by establishing a regulation permitting
the combined residues of the fungicide described in PP 6F3372
in or on the agricultural commodities as follows: apples, dried
at 3.0 parts per million (ppm); apple pomace, dry at 1.0 ppm;
apple pomace, wet at 3.0 ppm; grape juice at 1.0 ppm; grape

Carbophenothion; Proposed Revocation of Tolerances
___________________________________________________
This document proposes to revoke all tolerances on
raw agricultural commodities, and all food and feed additive
regulations, for residues of the insecticide carbophenothion.
EPA is initiating this action because all registered uses of
carbophenothion on these commodities have been cancelled. Therefore,
there is no need to maintain the tolerances. Ample time has
elapsed for treated items to clear the marketplace as these
uses have been cancelled for over 3 years.
This document proposes the revocation of tolerances established under
sections 408 and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21
U.S.C. 346(a) and 348) for residues of the insecticide carbophenothion in
or on the commodities listed in 40 CFR 180.156, 40 CFR 185.700,
and 40 CFR 186.700. These commodities are: alfalfa (fresh and
hay); almond hulls; apples; apricots; beans (dry); beans, lima
(succulent); beans, snap (succulent); bean straw; beets, garden
(root and top); blueberries; cantaloupe; cattle fat; cherries;
clover (fresh and hay); corn (kernels plus cob with husks removed);
corn forage; cottonseed, undelinted; crabapples; cucumbers;
eggplants; figs; goats, fat; grapefruit; grapes; hogs, fat;
lemons; limes; milk; nectarines; olives; onions (dry bulb and
green); oranges; peaches; pears; peas (succulent); pecans; peppers;
pimentos; plums (fresh prunes); quinces; sheep, fat; sorghum,
forage; sorghum, grain; soybeans (succulent); spinach; strawberries;
sugarbeets (roots and tops); summer squash; tangerines; tomatoes;
walnuts and watermelons (180.156); dried tea (185.700); and
dehydrated citrus pulp and citrus meal for cattle feed (186.700).
All uses of carbophenothion products have been cancelled, and
any provision for sales and/or distribution of stocks has expired.

Diallate; Revocation of Tolerances
__________________________________
This document proposes the revocation of tolerances,
to be effective August 1996, for residues of the pesticide diallate
(S-(2,3-dichloroallyl) diisopropylthiocarbamate, AVADEX(R))
in or on all raw agricultural commodities. EPA is initiating
this action because all registered uses of diallate on these
commodities have been cancelled. Therefore, there is no need
for maintaining the tolerances once all commodities treated
with diallate have cleared the channels of trade.

Revocation of Exemption from Requirement of a Tolerance for
Certain Inert Chemicals in Pesticide Products
______________________________________________
SUMMARY: This document revokes the exemptions from the requirement
of a tolerance for seven pesticidally inert ingredients in or
on raw agricultural commodities (RACs) listed in 40 CFR 180.1001(c)-
hexane, methyl chloride, perchloroethylene, and propylene oxide;
40 CFR 180.1001(d)-chloroform, epichlorohydrin, ethylene dichloride
(1,2-dichloroethane), and hexane (including isomeric hexanes);
and 40 CFR 180.1001(e)-ethylene dichloride (1,2-dichloroethane),
perchloroethylene, and propylene oxide. EPA initiated this action
because the data base for these inerts is so deficient that
the Agency cannot conclude that a tolerance is not necessary
to protect the public health. This regulation became effective
October 21, 1993.

Subdivision F Hazard Evaluation--Humans and Domestic Animals;
Proposed New Guideline Section 85-3 Dermal Absorption Studies
of Pesticides
_____________________________________________________________
The Environmental Protection Agency is making available,
for public comment, a revised proposed guideline for Dermal
Absorption Studies of Pesticides. This revised guideline is
based on the proposed guideline as presented in the Federal
Register of March 13, 1991. This guideline, when final, will
serve to formalize the protocol on dermal absorption that has
been in experimental development since the publication of Subdivision
F in October 1982.
The Pesticide Assessment Guidelines,
Subdivision F, describe protocols for performing toxicology
and related tests to support registration of pesticides under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
Some of the tests are also used in tolerance reviews under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Subdivision F
was proposed for public comment in l978 and published in October
l982. At that time the Agency published the criteria for performing
a dermal absorption study on a pesticide and reserved a line
item, Section 85-3, for a guideline on Dermal Absorption Studies
of Pesticides.
Comments must be received on or before December 6, 1993.

chlorothalonil ISK Biotech Corporation has submitted applications to the
(Bravo) USEPA to delete from their products of the fungicide,
chlorothalonil, the sites of onions(green), shallots, and
LEEKS due to the potential that residues may exceed
established tolerances. Other registrants of
chlorothalonil are expected to follow their lead, but the
USEPA has not published these deletions yet. ISK Biotech
plans to retain all other registered sites including dry
bulb onions, garlic, and onions grown for seed, and may
reconsider the deletion of shallots in light of the USEPA's
new crop grouping list. ISK Biotech regrets these deletion
actions but does not feel that a new use pattern greater
than the present 14-day PHI would give reasonable disease
control, even though longer PHIs could lower residue
levels.

to the USEPA and the FMC Corporation will support the
uses if another party wishes to develop the required
residue data.

dichlorvos (DDVP) The USEPA has revoked the food additive tolerances for
residues of the insecticide, dichlorvos, in or on
packaged or bagged nonperishable processed food as of
3/10/94. The proposal for this action was listed here on
12/1/91. This action is in response to a petition
submitted in March of 1991 claiming that these tolerances
violate the Delaney Clause in Section 409 of the FFDCA.
The USEPA found that dichlorvos does induce cancer in
animals and does violate the Delaney Clause. Written
objections, requests for a hearing, or requests of stays,
with reference to OPP-300237A, should be addressed to the
Hearing Clerk at EPA by 12/10/93.

2,4,5-T/silvex The USEPA has announced that it plans to close out its
program for the disposal of certain 2,4,5-T/silvex products
as of 11/22/93. Interested persons should contact the USEPA
immediately to receive approval and complete shipment by
11/22/93 of their 2,4,5-T/silvex products. Disposers should
be aware that they must bear the cost of shipment to the
disposal contractor, Laidlaw (TES) Inc., in La Porte, Texas.
The USEPA will bear any storage costs after acceptance at
the loading dock at Laidlaw (TES) and the ultimate disposal
costs. After 11/22/93, disposal of any stocks of 2,4,5-
T/silvex products must be arranged privately.

all pesticides The USEPA has proposed that the tolerance regulations be
amended to expand the USEPA's interpretation of the
commodity term onions(dry bulb only) to include
shallots(dry bulb only) for the application of tolerances
in or on the raw agricultural commodity dry bulb
shallots. The proposed amendment is based, in part, on
recommendations of IR-4. Written comments with the

arsenic acid The USEPA has proposed the revocation of the tolerance
for residues of the dessicant, arsenic acid, on
cottonseed as of 7/1/95. This pesticide was voluntarily
canceled as of 5/6/93. Existing stocks of arsenic acid
may be sold until 10/31/93 and used until 12/31/93. The
USEPA has delayed the revocation of the tolerance because
it believes that all treated raw cottonseed may not clear
oil processing mills and feed markets until 7/1/95. They
believe there is little or no use of arsenic acid on
imported cotton. Therefore, action levels to cover
residues of arsenic from past or present uses of the
pesticide on cotton will not be recommended. Written
comments, identified with OPP-300293, should be sent to
the Public Response Branch of EPA by 10/22/93.

benomyl(Benlate), A stay of the USEPA's rule revoking certain food
mancozeb(Manzate additive regulations was petitioned by and granted to
200, Dithane M-45), the National Agricultural Chemical Association (NACA),
phosmet(Imidan), Du Pont Chemical Co., The Mancozeb Task Force, and
trifluralin DowElanco. The USEPA reinstated the affected food
(Treflan) additive regulations on 8/30/93. Notification of the
prior USEPA action was made here on 7/30/93. Their
action was caused by the Ninth Circuit Court of the
U.S. Court of Appeals decision in the case of Les vs.
Reilly, in which, it was asserted that these food
additive regulations violated the Delaney Clause in
Section 409 of FFDCA. The affected uses are:
trifluralin (spearmint oil and peppermint oil),
benomyl (raisins and processed tomato products),
phosmet (cottonseed oil), and mancozeb (raisins and
bran of wheat). this stay order is temporary and the
initial order may be reimposed following the USEPA's
review of and determination on the stay petitions.

pentachloronitro- The USEPA has proposed the revocation of the interim
benzene (PCNB) tolerance for residues of the fungicide, PCNB, on
bananas. This use is not presently registered and is not
being supported for reregistration. Furthermore, no
action levels are planned because PCNB has not been
registered on bananas for over six years, the FDA has not
detected residues of PCNB on bananas for several years,
and there in no known use of PCNB on bananas outside the
U.S. Written comments, identified with OPP-300300, should
be sent to the Public Response Branch of EPA by 10/22/93.

all pesticides The USEPA has proposed to amend its pesticide tolerance
regulations to clarify how raw agricultural commodities are
defined for the purposes of pesticide analysis. These
definitions are used in conducting residue data development
and analysis for establishing and enforcing a tolerance.
The proposal updates, clarifies and expands the instuctions
on the portions of commodities to be examined for pesticide
residues. The USEPA is proposing these clarifications to
promote greater consistency in tolerance setting and
enforcement among similar commodities. Moreover, because
of this proposed regulation, food commodities will
generally be subject to comparable requirements in foreign
countries andthe U.S., thereby promoting efficiency and
enforcement and resulting in increased protection of the
food supply. Written comments, identified by OPP-300243,
should be sent to the Public Docket of EPA by 11/29/93.

diallate The USEPA has proposed the revocation of the all tolerances for
(Avadex) residues of diallate as of 8/30/96. This herbicide was
canceled as of 1/22/91 due to nonpayment of the annual
registration maintenance fees. The cancellation order did
allow for existing stocks to be used until exhausted.
Therefore, the USEPA is proposing that the revocation not take
effect until 8/30/96, to allow for residues of the pesticide to
dissipate. The USEPA does not expect any lingering
environmental contamination, consequently, no action levels
will be recommended to replace the present tolerances when
they're revoked. Diallate was registered for use on alfalfa,
barley, clover, field corn, flaxseed, lentils, peas, potatoes,
safflower, soybeans, and sugar beets. written comments,
identified by OPP-300299, should be sent to the Public Response
Branch of EPA by 11/1/93.
