OFFICE OF
PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND
TOXIC SUBSTANCES
PESTICIDE REGULATION (PR) NOTICE 96-3
NOTICE TO MANUFACTURERS, PRODUCERS, FORMULATORS
AND REGISTRANTS OF PESTICIDE PRODUCTS
ATTENTION:
SUBJECT!
Persons Responsible for Federal Registration and
Reregistration of Pesticide Products
Pesticide Products Used to Disinsect Aircraft
This Notice specifies labeling changes for any pesticide
product (insecticide) used for disinsecting aircraft. Based on
incident information associated with the use of insecticide spray
products being used in occupied aircraft cabins, the Agency has
concluded that, in order to remain in compliance with the
requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), registrants of insecticide sprays registered for use
in any portion of aircraft should revise the labeling for such
products according to the requirements described in this Notice.
Registrants who choose to revise labeling in accordance with this
Notice should submit amendments or notifications to EPA within 90
days of date of issuance of this Notice.
I.
BACKGROUND
The Agency has received information which raises questions
concerning the potential human health risks associated with the
use of insecticide spray products in occupied aircraft cabins.
In addition, the Agency doubts that the benefits associated with
this use exceed the risks of such use. The Agency believes that
the use of insecticide spray products in occupied cabins may
result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
Products that pose unreasonable adverse effects to the
environment do not meet FIFRA's standard for registration, and
are subject to cancellation under section 6(b) of the statute.
Attachment A lists insecticide products which are known to
be registered for use in aircraft. While a few products are
registered specifically for occupied aircraft cabins, most are
registered for cargo holds and areas other than cabins. However,
some products have labeling which does not specifically state
where the product may be applied in the aircraft; such products
Recycled/Recyclable . Printed With Vegetable Oil Based Into on 100% Recycled Paper (40% Postconsumer)
-------
conceivably could be applied in occupied cabins. To protect the
public from possible unreasonable adverse effects from exposure
to insecticides applied in occupied aircraft cabins, the Agency
is adopting the policy specified in Section III.
II.
The requirements of this Notice apply to any end-use
insecticide product registered for disinsecting aircraft.
III. POLICY AND REQUIREMENTS
To prevent unnecessary risks to aircraft passengers, the
Agency will not register disinsecting products for use in
occupied' aircraft cabins unless data submitted and accepted by
the Agency'demonstrate that the use in occupied aircraft cabins
does not pose unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
In addition, EPA will require that all .labels of insecticide
products registered for aircraft be carefully worded to make
clear where the product may or may not be applied.
t
Registrants of disinfection products with labels that
explicitly permit use in occupied cabins and who seek to continue
that use must generate data and/or provide relevant information
to demonstrate that the use in occupied- cabins does not pose
unreasonable adverse effects to human health. Such registrants
will receive a data call-in within\90 days from issuance of this
Notice. The Agency expects that such a data call-in will include
requests for information on both the risks' associated with use of
insecticide products in occupied aircraft cabins and the benefits
associated with such use. Alternatively, a registrant of a
product which is registered for use in occupied aircraft cabins
may choose one of the following options to eliminate that use of
the product and avoid the requirement to submit data:
1. For products registered for use in aircraft other than
in occupied cabins, include in the Directions for Use
the statement: - "Do not use in aircraft cabins."
Remove all contradictory language.
2. Delete all aircraft uses from the label.
Registrants of products which are registered for use in
aircraft in areas other than occupied aircraft cabins should-
assure that their labeling is clear as to where the product may
be used and should adopt the labeling statement in Option 1.
above as well. Alternatively, a registrant may delete the
aircraft use from the product altogether as in Option 2. above.
-------
The Agency believes that the incremental costs of .making the
label changes specified abovS are outweighed by the benefits of
ensuring the proper use of these particular registered
pesticides.
IV. WHAT TO DO TO COMPLY
Registrants who-are subject to this notice and who do not
intend to retain a product's use in occupied'aircraft cabins
should take one of the following actions within 90 days of
issuance of this Notice:
1. Amend the product labeling according to.option 1 of
Section III of this Notice by submitting an" Application
for Registration.denoting "Notification" on the form
(EPA Form 8570-1), a copy of the revised labeling and a
certification statement. A photocopy of the EPA
application form is acceptable; an original form is not
needed. The following certification statement should
appear on the application:
"Notification of label change per PR Notice 96-3."
"This notification is consistent with the provision of
PR Notice 96-3 and EPA regulations at 40 CFR 152.46,
and no other changes nave been made to the labeling or
the confidential statement of formula of this product.
I understand that it is a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec.
1001 to willfully make any false statement to EPA. I
further understand that if this notification is not
consistent with the terms of PR Notice 96-3 and 40 CFR
152.46, this product may be in violation of FIFRA and I
may be subject to enforcement action and penalties
under sections 12 and 14 of FIFRA."
Changes in label text should be clearly marked so .that
they can be photocopied.. The Agency will screen a
Notification within 30 days of receipt and inform the
registrant.if the submission cannot be processed as a
Notification. If the registrant chooses option 1 no
other label changes may be made at the same time.
2. Amend thfe product labeling delete all aircraft uses
(option 2) by submitting an application for amended
registration and five copies of the proposed labeling,
identifying the requested changes. The application for
amendment must be accepted by the Agency prior to 'sale
or distribution of the product with the amended label.
If no response is received within 90 days for any
insecticide product' on the attached list or which otherwise bears
aircraft use, EPA will issue a data call-in to the registrant of
-------
that product or any other insecticide spray product which can
reasonably be interpreted to be used in occupied aircraft.
Final printed labeling must be submitted as part of the .
amendment or notification process, or separately in accordance
with PR Notice 82-2, before the product with the revised.label
may be distributed in commerce.
Products covered by this Notice, but found not to be in
compliance, may be subject to cancellation or enforcement action
as appropriate.
V. EFFECTIVE DATE
All insecticides within the scope of the Notice distributed
or sold by registrants and supplemental registrants should bear
labeling which is consistent wit'h this Notice by October 1. 1997.
All products distributed or sold by persons other than

which do not comply with these dates are subject to enforcement
action under FIFRA sections 12 and 14.
