Summary of Regulatory Position and Rationale
- The Agency has determined that it should allow the conditional
registration of sulfluramid for indoor nonfood use in bait
stations to control ants and roaches. Adequate data are
available to assess the acute toxicological effects of
sulfluramid to humans.
- Data Gaps: Primary Hepatocyte Unscheduled DNA Synthesis
Dermal Sens itizat ion
- This registration is conditionally approved with an expiration
date of September 15, 1990.
