CERTIFIED MAIL
Dear Registrant:

       I am pleased to announce that the Environmental Protection Agency has completed its
reregistration eligibility review and decisions on the pesticide chemical case methyl nonyl
ketone. The enclosed Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) contains the Agency's
evaluation of the data base of these chemicals, its conclusions of the potential human health
and environmental risks of the current product uses, and its decisions and conditions under
which these uses and products will be eligible for reregistration.  The RED includes the data
and labeling requirements for products for reregistration. It may also include requirements for
additional data (generic) on the active ingredients to confirm the risk assessments.

       To assist you with a proper response, read the enclosed document entitled "Summary
of Instructions for Responding to the RED".  This summary also refers to other enclosed
documents which include further instructions. You must follow all instructions and submit
complete and timely responses. The first set of required responses are due 90 days from
the date of this letter.  The second set of required responses are due 8 months from the
date of this letter.  Complete and timely responses will avoid the Agency taking the
enforcement action of suspension against your products.

       If you have questions on the product specific data requirements or wish to meet with
the Agency, please contact the Special Review and Reregistration Division representative
Franklin Rubis at (703) 308-8184.  Address any questions on required generic data to  the
Special Review and  Reregistration Division representative Paul Lewis at (703) 308-8018.

                                                     Sincerely yours,
                                                     Lois Rossi, Director
                                                       Special Review

             SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESPONDING TO
             THE REREGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY DECISION (RED)

1  DATA CALL-IN (PCI) OR "90-DAY RESPONSE"-If generic data are required for
reregi strati on, a DCI letter will be enclosed describing such data.  If product specific data are
required, another DCI letter will be enclosed listing such requirements.  If both generic and
product specific data are required, a combined Generic and Product Specific letter will be
enclosed describing such data. Complete the two response forms provided with each DCI
letter (or four forms for the combined) by following the instructions provided. You must
submit the response forms for each product and for each DCI within 90  days of the date
of this letter (RED issuance date); otherwise, your product may be suspended.

2  TIME EXTENSIONS AND DATA WAIVER REOUESTS-No time extension requests
will be granted for the 90-day response. Time extension requests may be submitted only with
respect to actual data submissions. Requests for data waivers must be submitted as part of the
90-day response. Requests for time extensions should be submitted in the 90-day response,
but certainly no later than the 8-month response date. All data waiver and time extension
requests must be accompanied by a full justification.  All waivers and time extensions must be
granted by EPA in order to go into effect.

3  APPLICATION FOR REREGISTRATION OR "8-MONTH RESPONSE"-You
must submit the following items for each product within eight months of the date of this
letter (RED issuance date).

      a. Application for Reregistration (EPA Form 8570-1). Use only an original
application form. Mark it "Application for Reregistration."  Send your Application for
Reregistration (along with the other forms listed in b-e below) to the address  listed in item 5.

      b. Five copies of draft labeling which complies with the RED and current regulations
and requirements.  Only make labeling changes which are required by the RED and current
regulations (40 CFR 156.10) and policies. Submit any other amendments (such as
formulation changes, or labeling changes not related to reregi strati on) separately. You  may
delete uses which the RED says are ineligible for reregi strati on.  For further labeling
guidance, refer to the labeling section of the EPA publication "General Information on
Applying for Registration in the U.S., Second Edition, August 1992" (available from the
National Technical Information Service, publication #PB92-221811; telephone number 703-
487-4650).

      c. Generic or Product Specific Data.  Submit all data in a format which complies
with PR Notice 86-5, and/or submit citations of data already submitted and give the EPA
identifier (MRID) numbers. Before citing these studies, you must make sure that they meet
the Agency's acceptance criteria (attached to the DCI)

      d. Two copies of the Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) for each basic and
each alternate formulation.  The labeling and CSF which you submit for each product must

-------
comply with P.R. Notice 91-2 by declaring the active ingredient as the nominal
concentration. You have two options for submitting a CSF: (1) accept the standard certified
limits (see 40 CFR §158.175) or (2) provide certified limits that are supported by the analysis
of five batches. If you choose the second option, you must submit or cite the data for the five
batches along with a certification statement as described in 40 CFR §158.175(e). A copy of
the CSF is enclosed; follow the instructions on its back.

      e. Certification With Respect to Data Compensation Requirements. Complete
and sign EPA form 8570-31 for each product.

4  COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE-Comments
pertaining to the content of the RED may be submitted to the address shown in the Federal
Register Notice which announces the availability of this RED.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

       The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (hereafter referred to as the "Agency" or
"EPA") has completed its reregistration assessment of the available information on the pesticidal
active ingredient methyl nonyl ketone. The active ingredient has pesticidal activity as a dog and
cat repellant/training aid and as an iris borer deterrent. Use sites include household/domestic
dwelling contents, vegetable gardens, ornamental shade trees, ornamental herbaceous plants,
ornamental lawns and turf, ornamental woody shrubs and vines, paths/patios and refuse/solid
waste containers. The Agency has reviewed the available data for methyl nonyl ketone and  has
determined that products registered for the uses described in this reregistration eligibility decision
document as currently registered will not cause unreasonable risk to humans or the environment
and that these products are eligible for reregistration.

       Before reregistering the products containing methyl nonyl ketone, the Agency is requiring
that product specific data, revised Confidential Statements of Formula (CSF) and revised labeling
be submitted within eight months of the issuance of this document. These data include product
chemistry for each registration and  acute toxicity testing.  After reviewing these data and any
revised labels and finding them acceptable in accordance with  Section 3(c)(5) of FIFRA,  the
Agency will reregister a product. Those products which contain other active ingredients will be
eligible for reregistration only when the other active ingredients are  determined to be eligible for
reregistration.

       In 1988, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) was amended
to accelerate the reregi strati on of products with active ingredients registered prior to November
1, 1984. The amended Act provides a schedule for the reregi strati on process to be completed in
nine years. There are five phases to the reregistration process. The first four phases of the process
focus on identification of data requirements to support the reregistration of an active ingredient
and the generation and submission of data to fulfill the requirements. The fifth phase is a review
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (referred to as "the Agency") of all data submitted
to support reregistration.

       FIFRA  Section 4(g)(2)(A) states that in  Phase 5  "the Administrator  shall  determine
whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are  eligible for reregistration" before calling
in  data on products and  either reregistering products or taking "other appropriate  regulatory
action." Thus, reregistration involves a thorough review of the scientific data base underlying a
pesticide's registration. The purpose of the Agency's review is to reassess the potential hazards
arising from the currently registered uses of the pesticide; to determine the need for additional
data on health and environmental effects; and to determine whether the pesticide meets the "no
unreasonable adverse effects" criterion of FIFRA.

       This  document presents the Agency's decision  regarding the reregistration eligibility of
the registered uses of methyl nonyl ketone.  The document consists of six sections. Section I is
the introduction. Section II describes methyl nonyl  ketone, its uses, data requirements and
regulatory history. Section III discusses the human health and environmental assessment based
on the  data available to the Agency.  Section IV presents the reregistration decision for methyl
nonyl ketone.  Section V discusses  the reregistration requirements for methyl nonyl ketone.
Finally, Section VI is the Appendices which support this Reregistration Eligibility Decision.
Additional details concerning the Agency's review of applicable data are available on request.

-------
       Estimated Usage of Pesticide

             Due to a lack of usage for methyl nonyl ketone, the Agency cannot estimate the
       volume of use of this pesticide. However, it assumes the volume is relatively low.
       C.     Data Requirements

               A Data Call-In was issued in 1992 for methyl  nonyl ketone requiring the
       submission of additional product chemistry data.
      D.     Regulatory History

             Methyl nonyl ketone was first registered in the United States in 1966 for use as a
      dog and cat repellant. Currently, there are 48 products registered to 65 companies.  The
      Appendix B of this document includes all data requirements identified by the Agency for
      currently registered uses needed to support reregi strati on.

B.     Human Health Assessment

       1.     Toxicology Assessment

             The methyl nonyl ketone toxicological data base is adequate and will
       support reregi strati on eligibility.

             a.     Acute Toxicity

                          In an eye irritation study, methyl nonyl ketone was observed to
                   cause conjunctival irritation in 6/6 New Zealand white rabbits through 24
                   hours, 4/6 at 48 hours, 2/6 at 72 hours, 1/6 at 4 days and 0/6 at 7 days.  In
                   a dermal irritation study in New Zealand white rabbits, erythema and
                   eschar formation were present in 6/6 animals through 72 hours and 3/6 at
                   7 days; edema was noted in 5/6 at 30-60 minutes, 2/6 at 24-72 hours and
                   0/6 at 7 days. There was the appearance of weak skin sensitization during
                   the challenge phase of a dermal sensitization study in guinea pigs.

                   b.     Subchronic Toxicity

                          In a 21-day dermal  toxicity  study, methyl  nonyl  ketone  was
                   administered at doses of 0, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day (21 consecutive
                   days) to young adult male and female New Zealand white rabbits.  The
                   systemic NOEL was equal to or greater than 300 mg/kg/day with  the
                   LOEL being greater than 300 mg/kg/day. The NOEL for dermal irritation
                   was 100  mg/kg/day with the LOEL being 300  mg/kg/day based on
                   moderate to severe dermal irritation (MRID 43110301).

                   c.     Developmental Toxicity

                          In a developmental toxicity (teratology) study, methyl nonyl ketone
                   was administered at doses of 0, 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day by gavage
                                          7

-------
       to Charles River Crl:CD BR albino rats on gestation days 6 through 15.
       There was no evidence of maternal toxicity or developmental toxicity.
       Therefore, both the maternal and developmental NOELs were set at > 1,000
       mg/kg/day (the highest dose tested) (MRID 42225901, 42225902).

       d.     Mutagenicity

             In a mouse lymphoma cell forward mutation study,  dosing levels
       of 0, 0.0032, 0.0042, 0.0056, 0.0075, 0.010, 0.013, 0.018, 0.024, 0.032, or
       0.042 //L/mL in the absence of S9, and 0, 0.013, 0.018, 0.024, 0.032,
       0.042, 0.056, 0.075, 0.10, or 0.13 //L/mL in the presence of S9 were tested.
       The cultures were exposed to the methyl nonyl ketone for 4 hours. There
       was no evidence of induced forward mutation at the TK locus at any of the
       doses tested with or without the S9 activation (MRID 41740001).

             In a Chinese hamster ovary study, dosing levels of 0, 0.0065, 0.013,
       0.025, 0.05 or 0.10 //L/mL with and without S9 activation were tested.
       There was no evidence of induced chromosomal aberrations  over the
       control values at any of the  doses tested with or without the  S9 activation
       (MRID 41783101).

             In an unscheduled DNA  synthesis  (UDS) assay,  primary rat
       hepatocytes were exposed to dosing levels of 0, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, or
       0.3 //L/mL for 18 - 20 hours in the presence of tritiated thymidine. There
       was no evidence of UDS induction as measured by the incorporation of
       tritiated thymidine into DNA (autoradiography)  (41774401).

       e.     Toxicology Conclusion

             Based  on available information,  no  toxicological  endpoints  of
       concern (such as short term or intermediate term) were identified.

2.     Exposure Assessment

       a.     Occupational and Residential

             An occupational and/or residential exposure assessment is required
       for an active ingredient if certain toxicological criteria are met and if there
       is potential exposure to handlers (mixers, loaders, applicators) during use
       or to  persons entering treated sites after application is complete.
       Handler (Mixer/Loader/Applicators) Exposures

-------
                    There is a potential for exposure to mixer/loader/applicators during
             the use-patterns associated with methyl nonyl ketone, specifically potential
             exposures arising from applying granulars by hand and lawn spreaders,
             and applying liquid sprays to ornamentals, furniture, and rugs.
             Post-Application Exposures

                    There is a potential for exposure to persons entering treated sites
             after application of methyl nonyl ketone is complete, specifically potential
             post-application exposure arising from re-entering treated lawns, gardens,
             and residences.

             Need for Assessment

                    While there is a potential for exposure to handlers as well as post-
             application exposure,  an  occupational  and/or residential  exposure
             assessment for methyl nonyl ketone is not required because there are no
             toxicological endpoints of concern.
       3.     Risk Assessment

             a.     Dietary

                    Based on the current use patterns and exposure profiles for methyl
             nonyl ketone, residues in/on food and/or feed are not expected to occur.
             Therefore, a dietary risk characterization is not required.

             b.     Occupational and Residential

                    As stated previously, no appropriate endpoints  for short term or
             intermediate term  occupational or residential risk  assessment were
             identified. Therefore, a risk characterization is not required.


C.     Environmental Assessment

       The Agency has adequate data to assess the  risk of methyl nonyl ketone to
nontarget terrestrial organisms.

       1.     Ecological Toxicity Data

-------
                    a.     Toxicity to Terrestrial Animals
                          (1)    Birds: Acute and Subacute Toxicity.

                                        In order to establish the acute and subacute toxicity
                                 of methyl nonyl ketone to birds, the following tests were
                                 required using the technical grade of the active ingredient
                                 (a.i.):  one avian single-dose  oral (LD50) study on one
                                 species (preferably mallard or bobwhite quail) and subacute
                                 dietary  studies  (LC50)  on  one  species  of  waterfowl
                                 (preferably the mallard duck) and one species of upland
                                 game bird (preferably bobwhite quail).

                                        The results of the studies summarized in Tables 2
                                 and 3 below indicate that methyl nonyl ketone is practically
                                 nontoxic to avian species  on an acute oral (Table 2) and
                                 subacute  dietary  (Table  3)  basis.     The  guideline
                                 requirements for both the avian acute  oral LD50 and the
                                 avian subacute dietary LD50 studies have been met.

       (2)    Mammals
                    Wild mammal testing is required on a case-by-case
             basis, depending on the results of the lower tier studies such
             as acute and subacute testing, intended use  pattern, and
             pertinent environmental fate characteristics.  Under the
             conditions of a range-finding and developmental toxicity
             study done for the Agency, as summarized in the Human
             Health Assessment, doses up to 1,000 mg/kg/day produced
             no apparent related maternal or developmental effects on
             rats. Based  on these conclusions, wild animal testing was
             not required for methyl nonyl ketone.
b.     Toxicity to Aquatic Animals
       (1)    Freshwater Fish
                    In  order to establish the toxicity of methyl nonyl
             ketone to freshwater fish, the minimum data required on the
             technical grade of the active ingredient are two freshwater
             fish toxicity studies.  One study should use a coldwater
             species (preferably the rainbow trout), and the other should
             use a warmwater species (preferably the bluegill sunfish).

                    The results of the acute toxicity studies summarized
             in Table 4 below indicate that methyl nonyl ketone is
             moderately toxic to both cold and warmwater fish.  The
             guideline  requirements for the freshwater fish toxicity
             studies have been met.

                                 The  minimum  testing required to assess the hazard of
                          methyl nonyl ketone to freshwater invertebrates is  a freshwater
                          aquatic invertebrate toxicity  test,  preferably using first instar
                          Daphnia magna or early instar amphipods, stoneflies, mayflies, or
                          midges.

                                 The  results of the freshwater aquatic invertebrate toxicity
                          study summarized in Table 5 below indicate that there is sufficient
                          information to characterize methyl nonyl ketone as highly toxic to
                          aquatic invertebrates. The guideline requirement for the freshwater
                          aquatic invertebrate toxicity study has been met.

                          (1)    Hydrolysis

                                 In a study addressing the hydrolysis of methyl nonyl ketone,
                          the data indicated that the pesticide  does not undergo hydrolysis.
                          Methyl nonyl ketone did not hydrolyze in sterile buffered aqueous
                                          12

-------
solutions (pH 5, 7, and 9) incubated in the dark at 25° C for 30
days.  At the end of the study, methyl nonyl ketone was 84.7-
98.9%, 94.0-103.1%, and 90.7-101.5% of the applied for the pH 5,
pH 7, and the pH 9 buffered test solutions, respectively. Material
balances ranged from 87.5 to 100.8% of the applied radioactivity.
Therefore, the study was acceptable to support the Hydrolysis data
requirement (MRID 41986401).
(2)    Aerobic Soil Metabolism

       The degradation of methyl nonyl ketone in soil appears to
be microbiologically mediated under aerobic conditions (with a
half-life of 0.5 day).  In an aerobic soil metabolism study, methyl
nonyl  ketone,  at  10  ppm,   degraded with a  half-life  of
approximately 0.5 days in sandy loam soil incubated aerobically at
25° ± 1° C.  The major degradate was CO2, which totalled 48.7% of
the applied at 30 days. Other metabolites of methyl nonyl ketone
were: 4-hydroxy-2-undecanone; 10-hydroxy-2-undecanone; 2,4-
undecanone;  2,10-undecanone and; 4-hydroxypentanoic  acid.
None of these metabolites were present more than 3% of  the
applied at any  sampling period.    Therefore, the study was
acceptable to   support the  Aerobic   Soil  Metabolism  data
requirement (MRID 42497201).

(3)    Leaching-Adsorption/Desorption

       In a Leaching-Adsorption/Desorption study, methyl nonyl
ketone was observed to be relatively immobile in soil and have a
low  potential  to leach into  ground water or  move  offsite into
surface water.  Methyl  nonyl ketone  was determined to  be
relatively  immobile in sodium azide-sterilized  sandy loam, clay
loam, sand, and silt loam soils (Kads=18; Koc=2,480). Therefore,  the
study was found to  be  acceptable to  support  the  Leaching-
Adsorption/Desorption data requirement.

       Although   the   leaching-adsorption/desorption   data
requirement is satisfied, the Agency has concerns about the use of
sodium azide as a chemical inhibitor for sterilization of soils. The
Agency believes that physical  or chemical sterilization (such as
autoclaving or use  of sodium azide) may subtly alter the soil
chemistry, thus complicating  the  interpretation  of the results
obtained  in  the batch  equilibrium  studies.    The  Agency
                13

-------
       acknowledges the difficulty of conducting a scientifically-sound
       batch  equilibrium study for methyl nonyl ketone because it is
       unstable under aerobic conditions.  Thus, no additional data are
       required (MRID 42208301).
b.     Environmental Fate and Ground Water Assessment

             Due to the low relative mobility and the rapid degradation
       of methyl nonyl ketone in soils, its  low volume use, and use
       patterns, the Agency concludes that the potential for methyl nonyl
       ketone to leach into  ground water  or move offsite into surface
       water would be very low.

             Methyl nonyl ketone is not very  soluble in water (solubility
       in water is 18 ppm).  It is not susceptible to hydrolysis at pH 5, 7,
       and 9 in the absence of light. Because of its extremely high vapor
       pressure (4.49xlO"2torr at 25°C), volatilization from soils will be an
       important route of dissipation.  The high octanol/water partition
       coefficient (Kow= 16,218)  suggests that methyl nonyl ketone will
       have a high tendency to accumulate in fish. However, since methyl
       nonyl  ketone products are not applied to surface or ground water
       and the current use patterns of methyl nonyl ketone products,
       exposure of the pesticide to fish is not anticipated.

             Results from an aerobic soil metabolism  study showed that
       methyl nonyl ketone degraded very rapidly in sandy loam soil
       (half-life=0.5 day).  The major degradate was CO2, which totalled
       49% of applied at 30 days.  Other nonvolatile metabolites identified
       at low concentrations were 4-hydroxy-2-undecanone, 10-hydroxy-
       2-undecanone,  2,4-undecanone,   2,10-undecanone,  and  4-
       hydroxypentanoic acid.  None of these degradates were present at
       more than 3% of the applied at any sampling period.

             Methyl nonyl ketone is expected to be relatively immobile
       in the environment (Kads=18; or Koc=2,480).

             Based  on these properties,  the Agency concludes that
       methyl nonyl ketone is expected to be relatively immobile and not
       persistent in the environment. The major routes of dissipation are
       volatilization   (vapor  pressure=4.49xlO"2  torr)  and   biotic
       degradation under aerobic conditions (half-life=0.5 day).

             3.     Exposure and Risk Characterization
                    a.     Exposure and Risk to Nontarget Terrestrial Animals

                          (1)     Birds

                                 There is some concern that birds may ingest the granular
                          formulation  of methyl nonyl ketone while feeding.  Therefore, a
                          risk assessment on the granular product is included here.

                                 As summarized in Table 6 below, the maximum application
                          rate for the granular formulation is 49.5 Ibs a.i. per acre.  For
                          broadcast applications, the LD50/ft2 for the northern bobwhite is 1.3
                          and for the mallard it is 0.21.

                                 The LD50/ft2 shown in Table 6 are not based on a definitive
                          LD50 value for birds. Both the bobwhite and the mallard studies
                          failed to determine an LD50 because there was not 50% mortality at
                          any of the test levels,  including the  highest.  The information
                          gained from both studies is that the LD50 is  above 2,250 mg/kg.
                          The LD50/ft2, the calculation being based upon an LD50 being equal
                          to 2,250 ppm, are considered to be much greater than the actual
                          acute  values  (which  are  unknown)   and  thus are  overly
                          conservative. These values should be viewed as the upper limit of
                          what the actual values could be; the actual LD50/ft2 are unknown
                          and could be much  less.  Thus, values greater than the LOC for
                          high risk, restricted use, and endangered species do not necessarily
                          mean that risk is presumed, but rather that  acute risk to avian
                          species, including endangered species, cannot be ruled out based
                          on the limited information available. If product labeling is strictly
                          adhered to, the likelihood  of avian species  being adversely
                          impacted is minimized.
                                         15

-------
                          (2)    Mammals

                                Methyl nonyl ketone is used as a dog and cat repellant.
                          Because of the repellent nature of the product, mammals are not
                          likely to ingest it directly.  Also, according to the above range-
                          finding  and developmental toxicity study, doses up to  1,000
                          mg/kg/day produced no apparent related maternal or developmental
                          effects on rats.  Therefore, if mammals were to ingest the product,
                          it would have to be in an amount greater than 1,000 mg/kg/day to
                          have an  adverse impact, and this is not likely.
                    b.     Exposure and Risk to Nontarget Aquatic Animals

                                Methyl nonyl ketone displays moderate to high toxicity to
                          most aquatic organisms tested to date.  However, the use of methyl
                          nonyl ketone is not likely to adversely impact aquatic organisms
                          because this  chemical  is neither persistent  nor  mobile in  the
                          environment.
                    c.     Endangered Species

                                 The acute risk  to endangered avian  species cannot be
                          dismissed because the use rate (49.5 Ibs a.i./A) results in an LD50/ft2
                          that exceeds the endangered species LOG. However, based on the
                          application  method (broadcast  by  hand) it is unlikely  that
                          endangered avian species would be adversely  impacted.  Product
                          labeling must be strictly adhered to in order to minimize adverse
                          impacts to endangered avian species.
                    d.     Exposure and Risk to Ground and Surface Water

                                 Taking into  account the  relative immobility, the rapid
                          dissipation in soils, and the use patterns, it is unlikely that methyl
                          nonyl ketone will leach into groundwater or move offsite into
                          surface water.
IV.   RISK MANAGEMENT AND REREGISTRATION DECISION

      A.     Determination of Eligibility


                                         16

-------
       Section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA calls for the Agency to determine, after submission
of relevant data concerning an active ingredient, whether products containing the active
ingredients  are eligible for reregi strati on.  The Agency has previously identified and
required the submission of the generic (i.e. active ingredient specific) data required to
support reregistration of products containing methyl nonyl ketone active ingredients.  The
Agency has completed its review of these generic data, and has determined that the data
are sufficient to support reregistration of all products containing methyl nonyl ketone.
Appendix B  identifies the generic data requirements that the Agency reviewed as part of
its determination of reregistration eligibility of methyl  nonyl  ketone,  and  lists the
submitted studies that the Agency found acceptable.

       The data identified in  Appendix B were sufficient to allow the Agency to assess
the registered uses of methyl nonyl ketone and to determine that methyl nonyl ketone can
be used without resulting in unreasonable  adverse effects to humans and the environment.
The Agency therefore finds that all products containing methyl nonyl ketone as the active
ingredients  are eligible for reregistration.  The reregistration of particular products is
addressed in Section V of this document.

       The Agency made its reregistration eligibility determination based upon the target
data base required for reregistration, the current guidelines  for conducting acceptable
studies to generate such data, published  scientific literature, etc. and the data identified
in Appendix B.  Although the Agency has found that all  uses of methyl nonyl ketone are
eligible for reregistration, it should be understood that the Agency may take appropriate
regulatory action, and/or  require the submission of additional data to support the
registration of products  containing methyl nonyl ketone,  if new information comes to the
Agency's attention or if the  data requirements for registration (or the guidelines for
generating such data) change.

B.     Determination of Eligibility

       1.     Eligibility Decision

             Based on the reviews of the generic data for the active ingredient methyl
       nonyl ketone, the Agency has sufficient  information on  the health effects of
       methyl nonyl ketone and on its potential for causing  adverse  effects in fish and
       wildlife and the environment.  The Agency has determined that  methyl nonyl
       ketone products, labeled and used as specified in this Reregistration Eligibility
       Decision,  will not pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to humans or the
       environment.  Therefore, the Agency concludes that products containing methyl
       nonyl ketone  for all uses are eligible for reregistration.

       2.     Eligible and Ineligible Uses
                                    17

-------
             The Agency has determined that  all uses  of methyl nonyl ketone are
       eligible for reregi strati on.

C.     Regulatory Position

       The following is a summary of the regulatory positions and rationales for methyl
nonyl ketone. Where labeling revisions are imposed, specific language is set forth in
Section V of this document.

       1.     Personal Protective Equipment  (PPE)  for  Handlers  (Mixer/Loader/
             Applicators)

             At this time there are no engineering control  requirements, such as closed
       systems, currently required on labeling for methyl nonyl ketone products.

             For each end-use product, PPE requirements for pesticide handlers will be
       set during reregi strati on in one of two ways:

         1. If EPA has no special concerns about the acute or other adverse  effects of an
         active ingredient, the PPE for pesticide handlers will be established based on
         the acute toxicity of the end-use product. For occupational-use products, PPE
         will be  established using the process described in PR Notice 93-7 or more
         recent EPA guidelines.

         2. If EPA has special concerns about an active ingredient due to very high acute
         toxicity or to certain  other adverse  effects, such as allergic effects, cancer,
         developmental toxicity, or reproductive effects:

         • In the RED for that active ingredient,  EPA  may  establish  minimum or
         "baseline" handler PPE requirements that pertain to all or most occupational
         end-use products containing that active ingredient.

         • These minimum PPE requirements must be compared with the PPE that
         would be designated on the basis of the acute toxicity of each end-use product.

         • The more  stringent choice for each type of PPE  (i.e., bodywear, hand
         protection, footwear, eyewear, etc.) must be placed on the label of the end-use
         product.

         Since there are no special toxicological concerns about methyl nonyl ketone,
     the establishment of active-ingredient-based handler PPE requirements is not
     warranted. PPE requirements, if appropriate, will be established based on the acute
     toxicity of the end-use product.
                                    18

-------
            2.  Endangered Species Statement

               The Agency has concerns about the exposure of threatened and endangered bird
            species to methyl nonyl ketone as discussed in the above environmental assessment.
            However, based on the application method of the pesticide,  it is unlikely that
            endangered avian species would be adversely impacted.

               The Endangered  Species Protection Program is expected to become final in
            1995. Limitations in the use of methyl nonyl ketone may be required to protect
            endangered and threatened species, but these limitations have not been defined and
            may be formulation specific.  EPA anticipates that a consultation with the Fish and
            Wildlife Service will be conducted in accordance with the species-based priority
            approach described  in the Program.   After  completion of the consultation,
            registrants will be informed if any required label modifications are necessary. Such
            modifications would most likely consist of the generic label statement referring
            pesticide users to use limitations contained in county Bulletins.

V. ACTIONS REQUIRED OF REGISTRANTS

   This section specifies the data requirements and responses necessary for the reregi strati on of
both manufacturing-use and end-use products.
       1.    Manufacturing-Use Products

            a.  Additional Generic Data Requirements

            The generic data base supporting the reregi strati on of methyl nonyl ketone for the
       above eligible uses has been reviewed and determined to be complete.


       2.    End-Use Products

            a.  Additional Product-Specific Data Requirements

            Section 4(g)(2)(B) of FIFRA calls for the Agency to obtain any needed product-
       specific data regarding the pesticide after a determination of eligibility has been made.
       The product specific data requirements are listed in Appendix G, the Product Specific
       Data Call-In Notice.

            Registrants must review previous data submissions to ensure that they meet current
       EPA acceptance criteria (Appendix F; Attachment E) and if not, commit to conduct new
                                         19

-------
studies.  If a registrant believes that previously  submitted data meet current testing
standards, then study MRID numbers should be cited according to the instructions in the
Requirement Status and Registrants Response Form provided for each product.

2.    Entry Restrictions

     The Agency is establishing minimum entry restrictions for all methyl nonyl ketone
end-use products, as required for all pesticides, as  described below.
         a   Entry Requirements:

         Labeling for sole-active ingredient end-use products that contain methyl nonyl
         ketone must be revised to adopt the entry restrictions set forth in this section.
         Any conflicting entry restrictions on their current labeling must be removed.

         The Agency is establishing the following entry restrictions for all homeowner
         uses of methyl nonyl ketone end-use products.

         For liquid applications:

         "Do not allow persons or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried."

         For dry applications:

         "Do not allow persons or pets to enter the treated area until dusts have settled."

         Placement on labeling — Place these statements near the beginning of the
         Directions for Use section of the labeling.


         b. Application Requirements:

         "Do not apply this product in a way that will contact any person or pet,
         either directly or through drift. Keep people and pets out of the area
         during application."

         Placement  on labeling —  Place this statement  near  the beginning  of the
         Directions for Use section of the labeling.
                                    20

-------
             c.  User Safety Requirements:

             •  "Follow  manufacturer's  instructions  for  cleaning/maintaining  personal
             protective equipment.  If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and
             hot water. Keep and wash personal protective equipment separately from other
             laundry."

             Placement on labeling —  Place this statement near the beginning of the
             Directions for Use section of the labeling.

             d.  User Safety Recommendations:

             •  "Users should  wash hands before eating,  drinking, chewing gum, using
             tobacco, or using the toilet."

             •  "Users should remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets  on  or inside
             clothing. Then wash thoroughly with detergent and hot water separately from
             other laundry and put on clean clothing."

             •  "Users should  remove personal  protective equipment immediately  after
             handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
             as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing."

             Placement on labeling  — Place these statements near the beginning of the
             Directions for Use section of the labeling.
    3.    Existing Stocks

    Registrants may generally distribute and sell products bearing old labels/labeling for 26
months from the date of the issuance  of this  Reregi strati on Eligibility Decision (RED).
Persons other than the registrant may generally distribute or sell such products for 50 months
from the date of the issuance of this RED. However,  existing stocks  time frames will be
established case-by-case, depending on the number of products involved, the number of label
changes, and other  factors. Refer to  "Existing  Stocks  of Pesticide Products; Statement of
Policy"; Federal Register. Volume 56, No. 123, June 26, 1991.

    The Agency has  determined that registrants may distribute and sell methyl nonyl ketone
products bearing old labels/labeling for 26 months from the date  of issuance of this RED.
Persons other than the registrant may distribute or sell such products for 50 months from the
date of the issuance of this RED.  Registrants and persons other than registrants remain
                                       21

                               GUIDE TO APPENDIX B
Appendix B contains listings of data requirements which support the reregistration for active
ingredients within the  case  Methyl Nonyl  Ketone covered by  this Reregistration Eligibility
Decision Document. It contains generic data requirements that apply to Methyl Nonyl Ketone in
all products, including data requirements for which a "typical formulation" is the test substance.

   The data table is organized in the following format:

   1.  Data Requirement (Column 1). The data requirements are listed in the order in which they
appear in 40  CFR Part 158.  the reference numbers accompanying  each test refer to the test
protocols set in the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, which  are available from the National
Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 (703) 487-4650.

   2.   Use Pattern (Column 2).   This  column indicates the  use patterns for which the data
requirements  apply. The following letter designations are used for the given use patterns:

                            GUIDE TO APPENDIX C

CONTENTS OF BIBLIOGRAPHY.  This bibliography contains citations of all studies
considered relevant by EPA in arriving at the positions and conclusions stated elsewhere in
the Reregistration Eligibility Document. Primary sources for studies in this bibliography
have been the body of data submitted to EPA and its predecessor agencies in support of
past regulatory decisions.  Selections from other sources including the published literature,
in those instances where they have been considered, are included.

UNITS  OF ENTRY.  The unit of entry in this bibliography is called a "study".  In the case
of published materials, this corresponds closely to an  article. In the case of unpublished
materials submitted to the Agency, the Agency has sought to identify documents at a level
parallel  to the published article from within the typically larger volumes in  which they were
submitted.  The resulting "studies" generally have a distinct title (or at least a single
subject), can stand alone for purposes of review and can be described with  a conventional
bibliographic citation. The Agency has also attempted to unite basic documents and
commentaries upon them, treating them as a single study.

IDENTIFICATION OF ENTRIES.  The entries in this bibliography are sorted numerically
by Master Record Identifier, or "MRID number".  This number is unique to the citation,
and should be used whenever a specific reference is required. It is not related to the six-
digit "Accession Number" which has been used to identify volumes of submitted studies
(see paragraph 4(d)(4) below for further explanation). In a few cases,  entries added to the
bibliography late in the review may be  preceded by a nine character temporary identifier.
These entries are listed after all MRID  entries. This temporary identifying number is also
to be used whenever specific reference  is needed.

FORM  OF ENTRY.  In addition to the Master Record Identifier (MRID),  each entry
consists of a citation containing standard elements followed, in the case of material
submitted  to EPA, by a description of the earliest known submission.  Bibliographic
conventions used reflect the standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
expanded to provide for certain special  needs.

a  Author.   Whenever the author could confidently be identified, the Agency has chosen
   to show a personal author.  When no individual was identified, the Agency has shown
   an identifiable laboratory or testing facility as the author.  When no author or
   laboratory could be identified, the Agency has shown the first submitter as the author.

b. Document date. The date of the study is taken directly from the document.  When the
   date is followed by a question mark, the bibliographer has deduced the  date from the
   evidence contained in the document. When the date appears as (19??),  the Agency was
   unable to determine or  estimate the date of the document.
                                        42

-------
c.   Title.  In some cases, it has been necessary for the Agency bibliographers to create or
    enhance a document title. Any such editorial insertions are contained between square
    brackets.

d.   Trailing parentheses. For studies submitted to the Agency in the past, the trailing
    parentheses include (in addition to any self-explanatory text) the following elements
    describing the earliest known submission:

    (1)   Submission date.  The date of the earliest known submission appears immediately
         following the word "received."

    (2)   Administrative number.  The next element immediately following the word
         "under" is the registration number, experimental use permit number, petition
         number, or other administrative number associated with the earliest known
         submission.

    (3)   Submitter.  The third element is the submitter.  When authorship is defaulted to
         the submitter, this element is omitted.

    (4)   Volume Identification (Accession Numbers).  The final element in the trailing
         parentheses identifies the EPA accession number of the volume  in which the
         original submission of the study appears.  The six-digit accession number follows
         the symbol "CDL," which stands for  "Company Data Library." This accession
         number is in turn followed by an alphabetic suffix which shows the relative
         position of the study within the volume.
                                       43

       (4)     I am submitting an existing study that has not been submitted previously to the
              Agency by anyone (Submitting an Existing Study)
       (5)     I am submitting or citing data to upgrade a study classified by EPA as partially
              acceptable and upgradeable (Upgrading a Study)
       (6)     I am citing an existing study that EPA has classified as acceptable or an existing
              study that has been submitted but not reviewed by the Agency (Citing an Existing
              Study)

       Option 1, Developing Data — If you choose  to develop the required  data it must be in
conformance with Agency deadlines and with other Agency requirements as referenced herein and
in the attachments.  All data  generated and submitted must comply with the Good Laboratory
Practice (GLP) rule (40  CFR Part 160), be conducted according to the Pesticide Assessment
Guidelines (PAG), and be in conformance with the requirements of PR Notice 86-5.

       The time frames  in the Requirements Status  and Registrant's Response Form are the time
frames that the Agency is allowing for the submission of completed study reports.  The noted
deadlines run from the date of the receipt of this Notice by the registrant. If the data are not
submitted by the deadline, each registrant is subject to receipt of a Notice of Intent to Suspend the
affected registration(s).

       If you cannot submit the data/reports to the Agency in the time required by this Notice and
intend to seek  additional time to meet the requirements(s), you must submit a request to the
Agency which includes:   (1)  a detailed description of the expected difficulty and (2) a proposed
schedule including alternative dates for meeting such requirements on a step-by-step basis. You
must explain any technical or laboratory difficulties and provide  documentation from the
laboratory performing the testing.  While EPA  is  considering your request,  the original deadline
remains.  The  Agency will respond to your request  in writing. If EPA does not grant your
request, the original deadline remains.  Normally, extensions can be requested  only in  cases of

                                            69

-------
extraordinary testing problems beyond the expectation or control of the registrant. Extensions
will not be given in submitting the 90-day responses.  Extensions will not be considered if the
request for extension is not made  in a timely fashion; in no event shall an extension request be
considered if it is submitted at or  after the lapse of the subject deadline.

       Option 2, Agreement to Share in Cost to Develop Data  — Registrants may only choose
this option for acute toxicity data  and certain efficacy data and  only if EPA has indicated in the
attached data tables that your product and at least one other product are similar for purposes of
depending on the same data.  If this is the case, data may be generated for just one of the products
in the group. The registration number of the product for which data will be submitted must be
noted in the agreement to cost share by the registrant selecting  this  option. If you choose  to enter
into an agreement to share in the cost of producing the required data but will not be submitting
the data yourself, you must provide the name  of the registrant who  will be submitting the data.
You must also provide EPA with  documentary evidence that an agreement has been formed.  Such
evidence may be your letter offering to join in an agreement and the other registrant's acceptance
of your offer, or a written statement by the parties that an agreement exists.  The agreement to
produce the data need not specify all of the terms of the  final arrangement between the parties or
the mechanism  to resolve the  terms.  Section 3(c)(2)(B) provides that if the parties cannot resolve
the terms  of the agreement they may resolve their differences through binding arbitration.

       Option 3, Offer to Share in the Cost of Data Development — This option only applies  to
acute  toxicity and certain efficacy data as described in option 2 above.   If you have made an offer
to pay in an attempt to enter into an agreement or amend an existing agreement to meet the
requirements of this Notice and have been unsuccessful, you may request EPA (by selecting this
option) to exercise its discretion not to suspend your registration(s), although you do not comply
with the data submission requirements of this  Notice.  EPA has determined that as a general
policy, absent other relevant considerations, it will not suspend the  registration of a product of a
registrant who has in good  faith sought and continues to seek to enter into a joint data
development/cost sharing program, but the other registrant(s) developing the data has refused to
accept your offer.  To qualify for this option,  you must submit documentation to  the Agency
proving that you have made an offer to another registrant (who has  an obligation to submit data)
to share in the burden of developing that  data.  You must also submit to the Agency a completed
EPA Form 8570-32, Certification of Offer to  Cost Share in the Development of Data, Attachment
7. In addition,  you must demonstrate that the other registrant to whom  the offer was made has
not accepted your offer to enter into a cost sharing agreement by including a copy of your offer
and proof of the other registrant's receipt of that offer (such as  a certified mail receipt). Your
offer must, in addition to anything else, offer  to share in the burden of producing the data upon
terms to be agreed or failing agreement to be  bound by binding arbitration as provided by FIFRA
section 3(c)(2)(B)(iii) and must not qualify this offer.   The other registrant must also inform EPA
of its  election of an option to  develop and submit the data required  by this Notice by submitting a
Data Call-In Response Form and a Requirements Status  and Registrant's Response Form
committing to develop and  submit the data required by this Notice.

       In order for you to avoid suspension under this option, you  may not withdraw your offer
to share in the burdens of developing the  data. In addition, the other registrant must fulfill its
commitment to  develop and submit the data as required by this Notice.  If the other registrant fails
to develop the data  or for some other reason is subject to suspension, your registration as well as

                                             70

-------
that of the other registrant will normally be subject to initiation of suspension proceedings, unless
you commit to submit, and do submit the required data in the specified time frame.  In such cases,
the Agency generally will not grant a time extension for  submitting the data.

       Option 4, Submitting an Existing Study — If you  choose to submit an existing study in
response to this Notice, you must determine that the study satisfies the requirements imposed by
this Notice.  You may only submit a  study that has not been previously submitted to the Agency
or previously cited by anyone.  Existing studies are studies which predate issuance of this Notice.
Do not use this option  if you  are submitting data to upgrade a study. (See Option 5).

       You should be aware that if the Agency determines that the study is not acceptable, the
Agency will require you to comply with this Notice, normally without an extension of the
required date of submission.  The Agency may determine at any time that a study is not valid and
needs to be repeated.

       To meet the requirements of the DCI Notice for submitting an existing study, all of the
following three criteria must be clearly met:

       a.     You must certify at the time  that the existing study is submitted that the raw data
              and specimens from the  study are available for audit and review and you must
              identify where they are available.  This must be done in accordance with the
              requirements of the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulation, 40 CFR Part 160.
              As stated in 40 CFR 160.3(j) " 'raw data'  means any laboratory worksheets,
              records, memoranda, notes,  or exact copies thereof, that are the result of original
              observations and activities of a study and  are necessary for the reconstruction and
              evaluation of the report of that study. In the event that exact transcripts of raw
              data have been prepared (e.g.,  tapes which have been transcribed verbatim, dated,
              and verified accurate by signature), the  exact copy or exact transcript may be
              substituted for the original source as raw data.  'Raw data' may include
              photographs, microfilm or microfiche copies, computer printouts, magnetic media,
              including dictated observations, and recorded data from automated instruments."
              The term "specimens", according to 40  CFR 160.3(k), means "any material
              derived  from a test system for examination or analysis."

       b.     Health and  safety studies completed after May 1984 must also contain all GLP-
              required quality assurance and quality control information, pursuant to the
              requirements of 40 CFR Part 160.  Registrants must also certify at the time of
              submitting the  existing study that such GLP information is  available for post-May
              1984 studies by including an appropriate statement on or attached to the study
              signed by an authorized  official or representative of the registrant.

       c.     You must certify that each study fulfills the acceptance criteria for the Guideline
              relevant to the study provided in the FIFRA Accelerated Reregistration Phase 3
              Technical Guidance and that the study has been conducted  according to the
              Pesticide Assessment Guidelines (PAG)  or meets the purpose of the PAG (both
              available from NTIS).  A study not conducted according to the PAG may be
              submitted to the Agency for  consideration if the registrant believes that the study

                                            71

-------
              clearly meets the purpose of the PAG.  The registrant is referred to 40 CFR 158.70
              which states the Agency's policy regarding acceptable protocols. If you wish to
              submit the study, you must, in addition to certifying that the purposes of the PAG
              are met by the study, clearly articulate the rationale why you believe the study
              meets the purpose of the PAG, including copies of any supporting information or
              data.  It has been the Agency's experience that studies completed prior to January
              1970 rarely satisfied the purpose of the PAG and that necessary raw data are
              usually not available for such studies.
       If you submit an existing study, you must certify that the study meets all requirements of
the criteria outlined above.

       If you know of a study pertaining to any requirement in this Notice which does not meet
the criteria outlined above but does contain factual information regarding unreasonable adverse
effects, you must notify the Agency of such a study.  If such study is in the Agency's files, you
need only cite it along with the notification. If not in the Agency's files, you must submit a
summary and copies as required by PR Notice 86-5.

       Option 5, Upgrading a Study — If a study has  been classified as partially acceptable and
upgradeable, you may submit data to upgrade that study.  The Agency will review the data
submitted and determine if the requirement is satisfied.  If the Agency decides the requirement is
not satisfied, you may still be required to submit new data normally without any time extension.
Deficient, but upgradeable studies will normally be classified as supplemental. However, it is
important to note that not all studies classified as supplemental are upgradeable.  If you have
questions regarding the classification of a study or whether a study may be upgraded, call or write
the contact person listed in Attachment 1.  If you submit data to upgrade an existing study you
must satisfy or supply information to correct all deficiencies in the study identified by EPA.  You
must provide a clearly articulated rationale of how the deficiencies have been remedied or
corrected and why the study should be rated as acceptable to EPA.  Your submission must also
specify the MRID number(s) of the study which you are attempting to upgrade and must be in
conformance with PR Notice 86-5.

       Do not submit additional data for the purpose  of upgrading a study classified as
unacceptable and determined by the Agency as not capable of being upgraded.

       This option should also be used to cite data that  has been previously submitted to upgrade
a study, but has  not yet been reviewed by the Agency.  You must provide the MRID number  of
the data submission as well as the MRID number of the study  being upgraded.

       The criteria for submitting an existing study, as  specified in Option 4 above, apply to  all
data submissions intended to upgrade studies. Additionally your submission of data intended  to
upgrade studies must be accompanied by a certification  that you comply with each of those
criteria as well as a certification regarding  protocol compliance with Agency requirements.

       Option 6, Citing Existing Studies — If you choose  to cite a study that has been previously
submitted to EPA,  that study must have been previously classified by EPA as acceptable or it

                                            72

-------
must be a study which has not yet been reviewed by the Agency.  Acceptable toxicology studies
generally will have been classified as "core-guideline" or "core minimum." For all other
disciplines the classification would be "acceptable."  With respect to any studies for which you
wish to select this option you must provide the MRID number of the study you are citing and, if
the study has been reviewed by the Agency, you must provide the Agency's classification of the
study.

       If you are  citing a study of which you are not the original data submitter, you must submit
a completed copy  of EPA Form 8570-31, Certification with Respect to Data Compensation
Requirements.

       Registrants who select one of the above 6 options must meet all of the requirements
described in the instructions for completing the Data Call-in Response Form  and the Requirements
Status and Registrant's Response  Form,  as appropriate.

III-D  REQUESTS FOR DATA WAIVERS

             If you request a waiver for product specific data because you believe it is
inappropriate, you must attach a complete justification for the request, including technical
reasons, data and  references to relevant EPA regulations, guidelines or policies. (Note: any
supplemental data must be submitted in the format required by PR Notice 86-5). This will be the
only opportunity to state the reasons or provide information in support of your  request.  If the
Agency approves your waiver request, you will not be required to supply the data pursuant to
section 3(c)(2)(B)  of FIFRA. If the Agency denies your waiver request, you must choose an
option for meeting the data requirements of this Notice within 30 days of the receipt of the
Agency's decision. You must indicate and submit the option chosen on the Requirements Status
and Registrant's Response Form.  Product specific data requirements for product chemistry, acute
toxicity and efficacy (where appropriate) are required for all products  and the Agency would grant
a waiver only under extraordinary circumstances.  You should also be aware that submitting a
waiver request will not automatically extend the due date for  the study in question.  Waiver
requests submitted without adequate supporting rationale will be denied and the original due date
will remain in force.

IV. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS NOTICE

IV-A NOTICE OF INTENT TO SUSPEND

       The Agency may issue a Notice of Intent to Suspend products subject to this Notice due to
failure by a registrant to comply with the requirements of this Data Call-In Notice, pursuant to
FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B).  Events which may be the basis for issuance of a Notice of Intent to
Suspend include, but are not limited to,  the following:

       1.     Failure to respond as required by this Notice within 90  days of your receipt of this
             Notice.

       2.     Failure to submit on the required schedule an acceptable proposed or final protocol
             when such is required to be submitted to the Agency for review.

                                            73

-------
       3.     Failure to submit on the required schedule an adequate progress report on a study
             as required by this Notice.

       4.     Failure to submit on the required schedule acceptable data as required by this
             Notice.

       5.     Failure to take a required action or submit adequate information pertaining to any
             option chosen to address the data requirements (e.g., any required action or
             information pertaining to submission or citation of existing studies or offers,
             arrangements, or arbitration on the sharing of costs or the formation of Task
             Forces, failure to comply with the terms of an agreement or arbitration concerning
             joint data development or failure to comply with any terms of a data waiver).

       6.     Failure to submit supportable certifications as to the conditions  of submitted
             studies, as required by Section III-C of this Notice.

       7.     Withdrawal of an offer to share in the cost of developing required data.

       8.     Failure of the registrant to whom you have tendered an offer to share in the cost of
             developing data and provided proof of the registrant's receipt of such offer or
             failure of a registrant on whom you rely for a generic data exemption either to:

             a.     inform EPA of intent to develop and submit the data required by this Notice
                    on a Data Call-in Response Form  and a Requirements Status and
                    Registrant's Response Form;

             b.     fulfill the commitment to develop  and submit the data as required by this
                    Notice; or

             c.     otherwise take appropriate steps to meet the requirements stated in this
                    Notice, unless you commit to submit  and do submit the required data in  the
                    specified time frame.

       9.     Failure to take any required or appropriate steps, not mentioned above, at any time
             following the issuance of this Notice.

IV-B.  BASIS FOR DETERMINATION THAT SUBMITTED STUDY IS
UNACCEPTABLE

       The Agency may determine that a study (even if submitted within the required time) is
unacceptable and constitutes a basis for issuance of a Notice of Intent to Suspend.  The grounds
for suspension include, but are not limited to,  failure to  meet any of the following:

       1.  EPA requirements specified in the Data Call-In Notice or other documents incorporated
       by reference  (including, as applicable,  EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Data
       Reporting Guidelines, and GeneTox Health Effects Test Guidelines) regarding the design,
       conduct, and reporting of required studies.  Such requirements include, but are not limited

                                            74

-------
       to, those relating to test material, test procedures, selection of species, number of animals,
       sex and distribution of animals, dose and effect levels to be tested or attained, duration of
       test, and, as applicable, Good Laboratory Practices.

       2.  EPA requirements regarding the submission of protocols, including the incorporation
       of any changes required by the Agency following review.

       3.  EPA requirements regarding the reporting of  data, including the manner of reporting,
       the completeness of results, and the adequacy of  any required supporting (or raw) data,
       including, but not limited to, requirements referenced or included in this Notice  or
       contained in PR 86-5. All studies must be submitted in the form of a final report; a
       preliminary report will not be considered to fulfill the submission requirement.

IV-C EXISTING STOCKS OF SUSPENDED OR CANCELLED PRODUCTS

       EPA has statutory  authority to permit continued sale, distribution and use of existing
stocks of a pesticide product which has been suspended or cancelled if doing so would be
consistent with the purposes of the Act.

       The Agency has determined that such disposition by registrants of existing stocks for a
suspended registration when a section 3(c)(2)(B) data request is outstanding would generally not
be consistent with  the Act's purposes.  Accordingly, the Agency anticipates granting registrants
permission to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of suspended product(s) only in exceptional
circumstances. If you believe such disposition of  existing stocks of your product(s) which may be
suspended for failure to comply with this Notice should  be permitted, you have the burden of
clearly demonstrating to EPA that granting such permission would be consistent with the Act. You
must also  explain why an  "existing stocks" provision is necessary, including  a statement of the
quantity of existing stocks and your estimate of the time  required for their sale, distribution, and
use.  Unless you meet this burden the Agency will not consider any  request pertaining to the
continued sale, distribution,  or use of your existing stocks after suspension.

       If you request a voluntary cancellation of your product(s) as a response to this Notice and
your product is in  full compliance with all Agency requirements, you will have, under most
circumstances, one year from the date your 90 day response to this Notice is due,  to sell,
distribute, or use existing  stocks.  Normally, the Agency will allow persons other  than the
registrant  such as independent distributors, retailers and  end users to sell, distribute or use such
existing stocks until the stocks are exhausted. Any sale, distribution or use of stocks of
voluntarily cancelled products containing an active ingredient for which the Agency has particular
risk concerns will be determined on case-by-case basis.
                                             75

-------
       Requests for voluntary cancellation received after the 90 day response period required by
this Notice will not result in the Agency granting any additional time to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks beyond a year from the date the 90  day response was due unless you demonstrate
to the Agency that you are in full compliance with  all Agency requirements, including the
requirements of this Notice. For example, if you decide to voluntarily cancel your registration six
months before a 3 year study is scheduled to be submitted, all progress reports and other
information necessary to establish that you have been conducting  the study in an acceptable and
good faith manner must have been submitted to the Agency, before EPA will consider granting an
existing stocks provision.

SECTION V. REGISTRANTS'  OBLIGATION TO REPORT POSSIBLE
UNREASONABLE ADVERSE EFFECTS

       Registrants are reminded  that FIFRA section 6 (a) (2) states that if at any time after a
pesticide is registered a registrant has additional factual information regarding unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment by the pesticide, the registrant shall submit the information to
the Agency.  Registrants must notify the Agency of any factual information they have, from
whatever source, including but not limited to interim or preliminary results of studies, regarding
unreasonable adverse effects on man or the environment. This requirement continues as long as
the products are registered by the Agency.

Item 5.       If you wish to voluntarily cancel your product, answer "yes."  If you choose this
             option, you will not have to provide the data required by the Data Call-In Notice and
             you will not have to complete any other forms.  Further sale and distribution of your
             product after the effective date of cancellation must be in accordance with the Existing
             Stocks provision of the Data Call-In Notice (Section IV-C).

Item 6.       Not applicable since this form calls in product specific  data only.  However, if your
             product is identical to another product and you qualify for a data exemption, you
             must respond with "yes" to Item 7a (MUP) or 7B  (EUP)  on this form, provide the
             EPA registration  numbers  of your source(s);  you would  not complete the
             "Requirements Status and Registrant's Response" form. Examples of such products
             include repackaged products and Special Local Needs (Section 24c)  products which
             are identical to federally registered products.

Item 7a.      For each  manufacturing use product (MUP) for which you wish to  maintain
             registration, you must agree to satisfy the data requirements by responding "yes."

Item 7b.      For each end use product (EUP) for which you wish to maintain registration, you
             must agree  to satisfy the data requirements by  responding "yes."  If you are
             requesting a data waiver, answer "yes" here; in addition, on  the "Requirements
             Status and  Registrant's Response" form under Item 9, you must respond with Option
             7 (Waiver  Request) for each study for which you are requesting a waiver.  See Item
             6 with regard to identical products and data exemptions.

Items 8-11.  Self-explanatory.

NOTE:       You may provide additional information that does not fit on this form in a signed
             letter that accompanies this form.  For example, you  may wish to report that your
             product has already been  transferred to another company or that you have already
             voluntarily canceled this product. For these cases,  please  supply all relevant details
             so that EPA can ensure that its records are correct.

       INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE REQUIREMENTS STATUS AND
         REGISTRANT'S RESPONSE FORM FOR PRODUCT SPECIFIC DATA

Item 1-3      Completed by EPA. Note the unique identifier number assigned by EPA in Item
             3.  This number  must be  used in the transmittal document for  any data
             submissions in response to this Data Call-In Notice.

Item 4.       The  guideline reference numbers of studies  required to support the  product's
             continued registration are identified.  These guidelines, in addition to the requirements
             specified in the Notice, govern the conduct of the required studies. Note that series
             61 and 62 in product chemistry are now listed  under 40 CFR  158.155 through
             158.180,  SubpartC.

Item 5.       The study title associated with the guideline reference number is identified.

Item 6.       The use pattern(s) of the pesticide associated with the product specific requirements
             is (are) identified.  For most product specific data requirements, all use patterns are
             covered by the data requirements.  In the case of efficacy data, the required studies
             only pertain to products which have the use sites and/or pests indicated.

Item 7.       The substance to be tested is identified by EPA.  For product  specific data, the
             product as formulated  for sale and distribution is the test substance, except in rare
             cases.

Item 8.       The due date for submission of each study is identified. It is normally based on 8
             months after issuance of the Reregistration Eligibility Document unless EPA
             determines that a longer time period is necessary.

Item 9.       Enter only one of the following response codes for each data requirement to show
             how you intend to comply with the data requirements listed in this table.  Fuller

THE EPA'S BATCHING OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING METHYL NONYL KETONE AS
THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT FOR MEETING ACUTE TOXICITY DATA REQUIREMENTS
FOR REREGISTRATION

     In an effort to reduce the time, resources and number of animals needed to fulfill the acute
toxicity data requirements for reregistration of products containing the active ingredient Methyl
Nonyl  Ketone,  the Agency has batched products that can be considered similar in terms of acute
toxicity. Factors considered in the sorting process include each product's active and inert ingredients
(identity, percent composition and biological activity), type of formulation (e.g., liquid, powder,
aerosol, granular, etc.), and labeling (e.g., signal word, precautionary labeling, etc.).  Note that the
Agency is not describing batched products as "substantially similar" since  some products within a
batch may not be considered chemically similar or have identical use patterns.

   Using available information, batching has been accomplished by the process described in the
preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the batching process, the Agency reserves the right to require,
at any time, acute toxicity data for an individual product should the need arise.

    Registrants of products within a batch may choose to cooperatively generate,  submit or cite a
single battery of six acute toxicological studies to represent all the products within that batch.  It is
the registrants' option to participate in the process with all other registrants, only some of the other
registrants,  or  only their own products  within a batch,  or  to generate all the required acute
toxicological studies for each of their own products.   If a registrant chooses to generate the data for
a batch, he/she must use one of the products within the batch as the test material. If a registrant
chooses to rely  upon previously submitted acute toxicity data,  he/she may do so if the data base is
complete and valid by today's standards (see acceptance criteria attached), the formulation tested is
considered by the EPA to be similar for acute toxicity, and the formulation has not been significantly
altered  since submission and acceptance of the acute toxicity data. Regardless of whether new data
is generated or existing data is referenced, submissions  must identify the test material by its
EPA registration number.  If more than one confidential statement of formula  (CSF) exists  for a
product, the registrant must indicate the formulation actually  tested by identifying the corresponding
CSF.

     In deciding how to meet the product specific data requirements, registrants  must  follow the
directions given in the Data Call-In Notice and its attachments appended to the  RED. The DCI
Notice  contains two response forms that are to be completed  and submitted to the Agency within 90
days of receipt.  The first form, "Data Call-In Response," asks whether the registrant will meet the
data requirements  for each product.  The second form,  "Requirements Status  and Registrant's
Response,"  lists  the product specific data required for each product, including the standard six acute
toxicity tests. A registrant who wishes to participate in a  batch must decide whether he/she will
provide the data or depend on someone else to do so.  If a registrant supplies the data to support a
batch of products, he/she must select one of the following options: Developing  Data (Option  1),
Submitting  an Existing  Study (Option 4), Upgrading  an Existing Study (Option 5)  or Citing an
Existing Study  (Option 6). If a registrant depends on another's data, he/she must choose among:
Cost Sharing (Option 2),  Offers to Cost Share (Option 3) or Citing an Existing Study (Option 6).
If a registrant  does not want to participate in  a batch, the choices are Options 1,  s4, 5 or  6.


                                            88

-------
However, a registrant should know that choosing not to participate in a batch does not preclude other
registrants in the batch from citing his/her studies and offering to cost share  (Option 3) those studies.

It is felt that data from another product within the same batch, or, better yet, the actual registration
product are most representative of the potential acute toxicity of a product.  However, the Agency
will accept acute toxicity data conducted on the technical product (99.2% active ingredient) cited in
the HED chapter of the Methyl Nonyl Ketone RED (see the Hazard Assessment) in support of the
following products:

All products in batches 1, 2,  sub-batch 2A, 3.  Registration numbers 1021-873, and 4941-18.
It is felt that the inert ingredients contained in the above products are of low enough toxicity or in
such low concentrations that they will not change the acute toxicity profile of the technical product.
                                             91

-------
Products in sub-batch 2A may cite either acute toxicity data conducted on a product from batch 2,
sub-batch 2A or the technical. Either way, these products must cite a primary eye irritation study
conducted on a product from sub-batch 2.  Products in sub-batch 5A may cite either data conducted
on a product from batch 5 or sub-batch 5A. However, products in sub-batch 5A must cite a primary
eye irritation study conducted on a product of sub-batch 5A.

Table 2 lists the products the  Agency was unable to batch. These  products were not considered to
be similar to other products for purposes of batching. With the exception of registrations 1021-873
and 4941-18,  the registrant may only cite acute toxicity  data conducted on that product itself and no
other  product in this RED.  Registrations 1021-873 and 4941-18 may cite acute toxicity data from
the technical product in HED's chapter of the RED.  If the registrant of 1021-873 or 4941-18 choses
not to cite the data on the technical, he/she must cite data conducted on the registration product.
