TRIBUTYLTIN (TBT)
Criteria of Concern Acute and chronic toxicity to nontarget organisms
Action /Use Affected In order to avoid cancellation of their TBT paint products,
registrants must:
1.) Comply with the Organotin Antifouling Paint
Control Act (OAPCA) of 1988 average daily
release rate limit of 4.0 ug organotin/cmVday.
2.) Comply with OAPCA's prohibition on the use of
TBT antifouling paints on all nonaluminum vessels
under 82 feet (25 meters) in length (on deck).
3.) Are classified as restricted-use pesticides,
restricting their sale to certified commercial
applicators and their use to persons under the
direct supervision of an on-site certified
commercial applicator (except for products
packaged in 16 ounce or less spray-can
containers that are labeled for use only on
outboard motors, propellers, and other nonhull
underwater aluminum components). This
restricted-use classification of TBT begins March
1, 1990.
4.) Do not have labeling that requires compliance
with applicable OSHA regulations and with the
following directions for use:
During and after paint removal and or
application of new TBT paint, employ
methods designed to prevent introduction of
TBT paints into aquatic environments.
Following removal of TBT paint and/or
application of new TBT paint, all paint chips
and spent abrasives, paint containers,
unused paint, and any other waste products
from paint removal or application must be
disposed of in a sanitary landfill.
5.) Limit certain uses for some types of products, as
specified herein.
The Agency is requiring that the registrants develop and
submit a prototype training program for the use,
disposal, and removal of TBT paints and paint wastes

TRIFLURALJN
Criteria of Concern Oncogenicity
Mutagenicity
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
N-nitrosamine contamination limit listed in the
confidential statement of formula will not be
exceeded.

A.
Inorganic Arsenicals
All registered products, for nonwood use that contain the
inorganic arsenicals lead arsenate, calcium arsenate,
sodium arsenate, and sodium arsenite are cancelled and
applications denied, with the exception of the following:
1.) Arsenic trioxide insecticide use (solid formulation

Terrestial nonfood crops-golf courses
Ornamental plants, lawns, and noncrop areas
The following uses have been voluntarily cancelled:
1.) Lead arsenate. Plant growth regulator use on
grapefruit.
2.) Calcium arsenate. Turf fungicide use.
The sodium arsenite fungicide use on grapes and the
desiccant uses of arsenic acid on okra (grown for seed)
and cotton are still under special review by the Agency.
After reviewing data, a final decision will be made
regarding these uses.
Existing Stocks Provisions

regulator use on grapefruit may continue to be
sold, distributed, shipped, and used until all
remaining stocks are exhausted.

mills, and oil wells unless the registrations are amended
to comply with the following terms and conditions:

After February 2, 1989, each batch of
pentachlorophenol manufacturing-use product or
portion thereof released for shipment will contain
no more than 4 parts per million (ppm) HxCDD,
and the average of all batches released in any
calendar month will not exceed 2 ppm HxCDD.
This reduction in content must be achieved
without increasing the amount of HCB beyond 75
ppm. The manufacturing-use pentachlorophenol
products will not contain any 2,3,7,8-TCDD higher
than 1 part per billion (ppb).
2.) End-Use Products
Registrants must include labeling provisions on all
end-use products to require use of either single,

cautionary statement:
The U.S. EPA has determined that
pentachlorophenol can produce defects in
the offspring of laboratory animals. Exposure
to pentachlorophenol during pregnancy

retained nonwood uses (cooling water, paper mill,
and oil well operations) of pentachlorophenol.
After receiving and reviewing data, a final decision
will be made.
