Suspended, Cancelled, and Restricted (SCR) Pesticides
Prepared by the Office of Compliance Monitoring,
Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
This booklet has been compiled for the purpose of summarizing and clarifying
actions taken by EPA for pesticides that the Agency has suspended, cancelled, or
otherwise restricted because of concern for potentially adverse effects.*
The following have been excluded from this booklet:
a) Pesticide registrations that have been cancelled for failure to pay the annual
registration maintenance fee required by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended in 1988;
b) Cancellations on pesticide use patterns that were cancelled by Pesticide
Regulation Notices based on "residue," "no residues," and "zero tolerances";
c) Pesticides that have been cancelled by some, but not all, registrants; and
d) Pesticides that have been suspended as the result of Stop, Sale, Use, or
Removal Orders as defined under Section 3(C)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
This listing identifies the current status and references the regulatory history of each
pesticide, as well as the criteria of concern for which the chemical was reviewed by the
Agency. This booklet was designed to provide EPA inspectors with a quick reference
guide, as well as to provide other government agencies, both domestic and foreign, with
current information on these pesticides. This guide should also prove useful to anyone
interested in pesticides or involved in pesticide regulatory work.
This publication was compiled in conjuction with technical, legal, and scientific
divisions within the Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances. It represents the fifth
edition of the Suspended, Cancelled, and Restricted Pesticides booklet and replaces the
previous edition published in January 1985. The material in this edition was compiled as
of February 1990. Future Agency actions will necessitate updating this publication, and
inserts will be published periodically.
* The term restricted applies to pesticide uses that have been limited, revised, or restricted to
comply with specific label changes mandated by the Agency and does not include all restricted-use
pesticides, which require application by or under the direct supervision of a certified applicator as
defined under Section 3(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). To obtain
a separate list of these restricted-use pesticides, please contact the EPA Registration Support Branch,
Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs (703) 557-7700.

Criteria of Concern
Action/Use Affected
Mutagenicity
In order to avoid cancellation, the sole registrant, Rhone-
Poulenc, was required to amend the registrations for its
two bromoxynil products, buctril and bronate. These
products can no longer be used for turf and noncrop
areas.
These amendments include adding warning statements
to the product labels stating that exposure during
pregnancy causes birth defects in laboratory animals,
restricting its use to certified applicators, and requiring
additional protective clothing for mixers, loaders, and
applicators.
Rhone-Poulenc is also required to conduct an extensive
notification and educational program for bromoxynil users
to inform them of the potential birth defect risks for
mixing, loading, and applying bromoxynil, as well as the
importance of following the new risk reduction measures.
Rhone-Poulenc was also required to adhere to the
following shipment provisions:
1.) By May 6,1989, the registrant was required to halt
shipment of all bromoxynil products until approved
amended stickers are affixed to each container
within the company's possession.
2.) By May 15,1989, the registrant was required to
provide each distributor holding inventory of
bromoxynil products sufficient stickers for such
inventory.
3.) By May 25,1989, the registrant was required to
provide each reseller and retailer holding inventory
of bromoxynil products sufficient stickers for such
inventory.
4.) The registrant was also required to provide each
distributor, reseller, and retailer with instructions
concerning the manner in which the sticker must
be affixed to each container, and to implement the
attached labeling communication plan by the dates
described therein.

Action/Use Affected In order to avoid cancellation of all trifluralin products,
registrants must amend the terms of registration as
follows:
1.) Confidential Statement of Formula
a.) Registrants must amend the inert ingredients
statement of formula for each technical
registered product to read as follows:
Total N-nitrosamine
contamination: no greater than
0.5 ppm.
b.) Registrations for formulated registered
products must be amended to include the
following statement in the confidential
statement of formula:
Total N-nitrosamine
contamination: no greater than
(number to be calculated as
follows: 0.5 ppm total N-
nitrosamine contamination
allowed in technical trifluralin x
X% technical trifluralin in the end-
use product x 2 to allow for
possible generation of
nitrosamines during formulation).
2.) Quality and Records
Registrants of trifluralin pesticides products must
maintain accurate records of their quality control
efforts, which will be subject to EPA review and
must inform EPA of the quality control
procedures that they will adopt to ensure that the
