acephate     Valent U.S.A. Corporation plans to delete soybeans from all
(Orthene)    U.S.labels of the insecticide acephate (tradename Orthene).
             They have followed this course of action due to new
             reregistration requirements imposed under FIFRA, Section 4,
             including residues in processed commodities.  Valent has
             recently notified the USEPA of this action in response to a
             FIFRA, Section 4 Data Call-In, but the USEPA has not yet
             accepted this deletion. Valent will consider supporting at
             plant or seed treatment uses of acephate on soybeans if
             another party wishes to develop the required data.
