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 covering the
active ingredient 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA).  The enclosed Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) contains the Agency's evaluation of the data base of this chemical,
its conclusions of the potential human health and environmental risks of the current product
uses, and its decisions regarding conditions under which these uses and products will be
eligible for reregistration.  The RED includes the data and labeling requirements for products
for reregistration.

       From its assessment of DBNPA the Agency has concluded that one use—single
flow-through cooling towers, presents an unreasonable adverse risk to aquatic organisms.
Products labeled with this use are therefore ineligible for reregistration.  The Agency plans to
take regulatory action against continued.registration of DBNPA products for this use.
Nevertheless, registrants of such products  are required to comply with labeling and data
requirements as described in  the enclosed document.

       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 represei
Franklin Gee at (703) 308-8008.                                            ^

              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
reregistration, 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 REQUESTS-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 reregistration) separately.  You may delete uses
which the RED says are ineligible for reregistration. 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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

       This Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) addresses pesticide uses of 2,2-dibromo-3-
nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA).  Products containing this active ingredient are used to control
microorganisms including algae, bacteria, and fungi in various industrial processes.

       The Agency has completed its review of the target database for DBNPA and has concluded
that most uses  of DBNPA as labeled and used as specified  in this Reregistration Eligibility
Decision will not pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to  humans  or the environment.
However, because the risk to non-target aquatic organisms from the discharge of industrial
effluent containing DBNPA outweighs the potential benefits of the pesticidal use of DBNPA in
single flow-through cooling towers, the Agency has concluded that this use  is ineligible for
reregistration. The Agency intends to take appropriate regulatory steps to adequately address the
potential risk of this use.

       After evaluation of all available ecotoxicological and environmental data and subsequent
consultation with the Agency's Offices (Office of Water and the Office of Toxic Substances), it
was determined that aquatic risk concerns for all currently registered uses except single flow-
through  cooling systems may be  adequately mitigated  by secondary biological treatment of
industrial effluent.  Ecotoxicological and environmental fate data indicate that DBNPA degrades
rapidly by anaerobic  and aerobic  aquatic metabolism into less toxic  degradates.   Secondary
biological treatment is required for all aquatic industrial uses except, 1) waste water treatment
systems, 2) secondary oil recovery systems,  and 3) single flow-through cooling tower systems
(ineligible for reregistration).  Biological treatment is not required for waste  water treatment
systems because biological degradation  readily  occurs in these systems.   Although secondary
biological treatment is not feasible for  secondary  oil recovery systems, an evaluation of the
secondary oil recovery use pattern as it relates  to  DBNPA sufficiently reduces the Agency's
concern with this use pattern. However, aquatic risk concerns for the single flow-through cooling
system use of DBNPA cannot be mitigated.   Single flow-through cooling systems represent a
direct surface water discharge situation and a potential adverse risk to aquatic species remains.
       Additionally, the Agency has a concern for the potential effect of DBNPA on human
developmental toxicity.  In an oral developmental toxicity study in rabbits, DBNPA was observed
to produce fetal structural alterations at a dose (30 mg/kg/day) which was not maternally toxic.
The NOEL for  developmental effects was  10 mg/kg/day and the maternal NOEL was  30
mg/kg/day.  There is a potential for  mixer/loader/applicator exposure from use.  Margin of
Exposures (MOE) are acceptable (greater than 100) for all uses regulated by the EPA except one,
that of the handler using an open pouring method to add DBNPA to cooling towers (MOE = 28).
The Agency is therefore requiring use of personal protective equipment for  open pouring for
recirculating cooling water tower uses.   The potential for post-application  acute exposure is
minimal.  A food tolerance has been established for DBNPA for food contact with food grade
paper and paperboard (21 CFR 176.300). The use of DBNPA for this purpose  is regulated under
the-jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

-------
       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 for all products containing DBNPA. 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. However, those products which bear uses of this or any other active ingredients which
have not been determined to be eligible for reregistration will be registered only when such uses
and active ingredients are determined to be eligible for reregistration.
                                           VI

I.     INTRODUCTION

       In 1988, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) was amended
to accelerate the reregistration of products with active ingredients registered prior to November
1, 1984. The amended Act provides a schedule for the reregistration 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 registration" 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 database 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 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA). The document consists of
six  sections.  Section  I  is  the  introduction.  Section II describes  DBNPA,   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 DBNPA. Section V discusses the reregistration requirements for DBNPA. 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.

C.     Regulatory History

       Pesticide products containing DBNPA as an active ingredient were first registered
in the United States in 1972 as a microbicide.  There are currently 44 products registered
by the EPA to 27 companies containing DBNPA as an active ingredient. There is also
one Special Local Need, FIFRA 24(c) registration for this chemical's use in Missouri to
control bacteria in a specified industrial water system.

B.     Human Health Assessment

       1.     Toxicology Assessment

             The toxicological data base for  DBNPA is  adequate and  will support
       reregistration eligibility as a non-food use pesticide.  The data are reported below.

             a.     Acute Toxicity

                    Acute toxicology on DBNPA are summarized  below.

                    Acute oral toxicity studies resulted in an LD50 of 235 mg/kg for
             male rats and 178 mg/kg for females (MRID# 00136724).  The LD50 for
             female guinea pigs was 118 mg/kg and for both sexes of rabbits was 118
             mg/kg.   The  animals  showed  depression,  prostration, and  labored
             breathing, along with weight loss in some cases (MRID#s  00136724).
             Another acute oral toxicity study in rats showed the LD50 to be 375 mg/kg
             for males and 284 mg/kg for females (MRID# 00143642).

                    In male rabbits, an acute dermal toxicity  test had no deaths and the
             LDjo was greater than 2 g/kg (only dose tested;  24-hr exposure).  Dermal
             irritation  (moderate  to severe hyperemia/edema and slight to marked
             necrosis),  however  was  observed  in  all treated  animals (MRID#s
             00136724).  Another acute dermal test  with rabbits of both sexes also
             resulted in an LD^ greater than 2 g/kg (only dose tested; 24-hr exposure).

-------
 Dermal  irritation  (encrustation and  exfoliation of the skin)  also was
 observed in this study (MRID# 00143639).

       An acute inhalation study in rats gave an LC50 of 0.32  mg/L for
 a four-hour exposure; corneal opacity  was present in some surviving rats
 (MRID# 41026502).  A primary eye irritation study in rabbits resulted
 in severe corneal damage, which was considered permanent, in all treated
 eyes (MRID#s 00136724, 00143640). In  another eye irritation study in
 rabbits DBNPA was corrosive to the eyes, with maximum opacity within
 one hour (MRID# 00143641).  Rabbits treated with DBNPA in a primary
 dermal irritation study (4-hr exposure to 0.5 g) experienced erythema and
 edema, with exfoliation after five days (MRID# 00143641). Two dermal
 sensitization studies with guinea  pigs found DBNPA to be a weak
 sensitizer (MRID#s 00143641, 00148622).

 b.     Subchronic Toxicity

       In a subchronic toxicity study, rats were given DBNPA for 90 days
 by  gavage at doses of 0,  5, 13, or 30 mg/kg/day.  The NOEL was 5
 mg/kg/day.  The LOEL was 13 mg/kg/day based on dyspnea at  this dose
 and higher.  The animals with dyspnea also had weight loss and some of
 them died (GL# 82-1; MRID#s 41026504; 41310001).

       Doses of 0,  103, 309, or 1031 mg/kg/day of DBNPA were applied
 to the skin of rats (6 hrs/day; 5 days/week) for 90 days. The  systemic
 NOEL was 309 mg/kg/day.  The systemic LOEL was  1031  mg/kg/day
 based on  clinical chemistry findings  of reduced triglyceride  levels in
 males, reduced cholesterol as well as elevated alkaline phosphatase and
 chloride  in females, and urine pH at or above 9 in  some males.  The
 dermal irritation NOEL was 103 mg/kg/day. Dermal irritation (erythema
 and/or edema)  was transient  in several rats of both  sexes at the two
 highest doses (GL# 82-3; MRID# 41662201).

 c.    Developmental Toxicity

      Rabbits  were given DBNPA  doses of 0, 2,  10,  30,  or 60
 mg/kg/day, by gavage, on gestation days 7-19 in a developmental toxicity
 study.  The maternal NOEL was 30 mg/kg/day. At the maternal LOEL
 of 60 mg/kg/day, there  were deaths,  decreased body weight gain, and
 reduced food intake.  The developmental NOEL was  10 mg/kg/day.
 Retarded ossification of several fetal skeletal elements was observed both
at the LOEL (30 mg/kg/day) and the high dose (60 mg/kg/day).   The
occurrence of structural alterations at a maternally non-toxic dose  indicates

-------
      that DBNPA is a developmental toxicant in rabbits (GL# 83-3; MRID#
      41508301).

      d.     Mutagenicity

             In  a  Sfl//n0/ie//a/mammalian-microsome  mutagenicity  assay,
      DBNPA did not induce a mutagenic effect in S.  typhimurium strains
      TA1535, TA1537,  TA1538,  TA98, or TA100, either with or without
      metabolic activation (MRID# 00148623).  A mutation assay involving the
      HGPRT locus in Chinese hamster ovary cells was negative,  with and
      without metabolic activation (MRID# 00157756). In a study with human
      lymphocytes, DBNPA showed a weak positive response for chromosomal
      aberrations, with and without metabolic activation (MRID# 41034701).
      Two separate studies showed no evidence of unscheduled DNA synthesis
      in rat hepatocytes tested with DBNPA (MRID# 41125801, 157755).

      e.     Other Toxic Endpoints

             Several human incident reports concerning DBNPA are on file with
      the Agency.  These include  eye, throat and respiratory irritation, runny
      nose, and headache.  Generally the effects arose with  spills or  misuse.

2.    Exposure Assessment

      a.     Dietary Exposure

             A food additive tolerance has been established for DBNPA from
      food contact with food  grade paper and  paperboard  (see  21 CFR
      176.300). The use of DBNPA as a slimicide in the manufacture of paper
      and paperboard that contact food, is regulated under the jurisdiction of the
      U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is not directly regulated by EPA.

             Another food tolerance has been established for sugar from  the
      use of DBNPA in sugar beet processing (see 21 CFR 173.320).  This use
      is no longer registered and is not supported for reregistration.

      b.     Occupational and Residential

             DBNPA is used in a variety of industrial applications as  described
      in Section II.B. above. DBNPA is formulated as liquid and soluble solid
      concentrates. Treatments typically are made using a variety of industrial
      equipment (e.g.,  metering pumps, drip feed devices) and can be of several
      varieties including shock/slug, initial, intermittent,  maintenance, during
      manufacture, and continuous  feed.

-------
c..    Mixer/Loader/Applicator Exposure (Handlers):

       The formulated DBNPA products are liquids and soluble solid
concentrates.   The potential for exposure exists,  particularly to those
workers ("handlers")  loading DBNPA products  by open  delivery  or
pouring  methods.  Potential exposure is via the dermal  and  inhalation
routes as suggested  by  an exposure  study  submitted by the  Chemical
Manufacturers Association  (CMA) to  fulfill  the data  requirements.
DBNPA meets both toxicity (as a developmental toxicant) and exposure
criteria for requiring mixer/loader/applicator data.

       Dermal and inhalation exposure  to handlers  via  either an open
pouring system (Table 4.) or a closed system (Table  5.) may be estimated
using  the  CMA exposure data,  maximum application  rates  based on
information from use patterns  in  Agency  files, and assumptions discussed
below.

       Estimates of  daily exposure are  calculated with the  following
equation:
         MC5XU>.a,i. used   „
         	—	 Daify apostre
                Brv

       Where:

       MCS = maximum credible sum is the maximum exposure (dermal + inhalation) per
       pound of a.i. handled
       lb. a.i. used = application rates from labels of currently registered DBNPA products
       BW =  60 kg. for an adult female worker, since the lexicological endpoint is
       developmental effects.

       (1)     Assume 100 gallons  of paint are treated with 20%
       a.i. end-use product (final diluted concentration is 1%).  A
       total of 1.80'lb of a.i. is added.

       (2)     For a pulp and paper  mill system, assume 0.5 lb of
       end-use product with 20% a.i. is added to one ton of dry
       pulp, and 100 tons of pulp are treated. A total of 10 Ibs of
       a.i. is added.

       (3)     For a water recirculating cooling  system, assume 12
       fl.oz.  of 20%  a.i. end-use product is added  into  1000
       gallons of water and  a  total of 5000 gallons of water  is
       treated.  A total of 60 fl. oz of end-use product (= 0.78 lb
       of a.i.) is added.

                       10

-------
                (4)    For metalworking fluid, assume 8.48 Ib of 5% a.i.
                end-use product is added to 1000 gallons of oil.  A total of
                0.42 Ib of a.i. is added.

                Estimates of Daily Exposure are low for all uses of DBNPA, based
         on the above  study and assumptions, except for a handler using an open
         pouring method to add DBNPA to cooling towers  (exposure =352.69
         ug/kg/day).  With appropriate Personal  Protective Equipment (PPE) the
         estimated daily exposure from open pouring in cooling towers would be
         significantly reduced.

                Residential exposure is not  expected  since  DBNPA  has  no
         residential use.
                                 11

-------
       d..    Post-application Exposure (Workers)

              Post-application (dermal and inhalation) acute exposure is expected
       to be minimal since workers are not exposed to the DBNPA concentrates
       but potentially only to highly diluted levels in manufactured products such
       as paints.

3.     Risk Assessment

       The data available on the potential toxicological effects of DBNPA and
exposure to workers are sufficient for assessing human risks. In acute toxicity
studies described above, DBNPA is moderately, systemically toxic by the oral and
inhalation routes (Toxicity Category II) and slightly  toxic by the dermal route
(Toxicity Category III).  DBNPA is corrosive to the eye (Toxicity Category I).
Although classified  in  Toxicity Category  III  for primary dermal irritation,
DBNPA can produce necrosis of rabbit skin when administered at higher doses
for a more prolonged time period.   DBNPA is a dermal sensitizer.  DBNPA
appears to be a developmental toxicant  in rabbits; structural alterations were
observed at a maternally non-toxic dose.  Several human incidents  concerning
acute exposure to DBNPA after spills or misuse report eye, throat and respiratory
irritation, and runny nose or headache.

       a.      Dietary

              The one potential food use for DBNPA in paper and paperboard
       is regulated by FDA.

       b.      Occupational and Residential

              Handlers may be at risk for acute toxicity effects. They may also
       be at risk for developmental effects  from acute exposure to DBNPA.  The
       margin of exposure (MOE) for developmental toxicity may be estimated
       by the following equation:

                  NOEL
                 Exposure (pig/kg/dcy)

             Where  the  NOEL  =  10 mg/kg/day,  based  on the
             developmental study in rabbits (MRID# 41508301). Exposure
             estimates are from Tables 4 and 5.

                    With appropriate personal protective equipment, the exposure from open
                    pouring in cooling towers would be significantly reduced and the  MOE
                    would be greater than  100.

                          Developmental and acute toxicity risks for post-application/reentry
                    workers are not expected because their potential  for exposure is expected
                    to be much lower than for handlers.
       C.    Environmental Assessment

             1.     Environmental Fate

                    a.     Environmental Chemistry, Fate and Transport

                          The Agency required a hydrolysis study for the uses of DBNPA to
                    determine if and under what conditions the pesticide degrades in aqueous
                    solution. Any significant environmental degradation products are identified
                    if degradation occurs.   Although hydrolysis were the  only  required
                    environmental  fate  data for DBNPA  given its  current use patterns,
                    additional environmental fate data were submitted to the Agency.   These
                    include aqueous photolysis and aerobic and anaerobic aquatic metabolism
                    studies.

                          The hydrolysis and aqueous  photolysis studies show that DBNPA
                    degrades to an array of products: dibromoacetonitrile; dibromoacetamide;
                    dibromoacetic  acid;  monobromoacetamide;  monobromonitrilopropion-
                    amide;  monobromoacetic  acid;  cyanoacetic  acid;  cyanoacetamide;
                                          13

-------
oxoacetic acid; oxalic acid and malonic acid. The various pathways that
generate these degradation products depend upon pH and the presence of
light and nucleophiles.

       As  the  pH  increases  from  neutral the  half-life of  DBNPA
decreases.   For instance,  at pH 5 the half-life of DBNPA is 67 days as
opposed to 63  hours at pH 7 and 73 minutes  at  pH 9.   Hydrolysis
produces dibromoacetic acid (30.6% of applied) as the major degradate
at pH 5, dibromoacetonitrile (54.5%) as the major degradate at pH 7, and
dibromoacetonitrile (38.6%) as the major degradate at pH 9. Aqueous
photolysis produces dibromoacetic acid (63.7%) as the major degradate at
pH 5  (t!/2  = 14.8 hrs.)  in exposed  solutions and dibromoacetic acid
(31.4%) in the dark control, and dibromoacetic acid  as the major
degradate in the exposed (66.5%) and unexposed (74.9%) solutions at  pH
7 (t!/2= 6.9 hrs.).  Additionally,  the  aqueous photolysis  study indicate
that:

        1)    at pH 9 (tlA= 0.4 hrs.) in the solutions exposed to
       light,  bromoacetamide was  present at  14.6%  and an
       unknown degradate at 61.4%;

        2)    in the unexposed solutions an unknown (possibly
       dibromoacetonitrile from retention times) was  present at
       51.7% and oxalic acid at 29.9%.

       In the aerobic and anaerobic aquatic  metabolism studies  DBNPA
degraded with  a half-life  of  
-------
       Three  degradates were identified  in the sediment  phase:  2-
cyanoacetamide; dibromoacetonitrile; and bromoacetamide.  The major
degradate was 2-cyanoacetamide which reached 15.3% of applied by day
seven, and  decreased to 2.8% by  day 48.  Dibromoacetonitrile was
detected once at 0.3% on day two.  Bromoacetamide was  detected once
at 0.2% on day 30.

       In  the aerobic aquatic metabolism study, the  degradate found in
highest concentration was dibromoacetic acid.   This degradate reached
66.45% of applied at 0 hr, fell to 9.0% at hr five, and was not detected
at day two.  2-cyanoacetamide was present at 56.5% at hr five and fell to
2.3% at day  30.  Oxalic acid was present at 7.9%  at hr five  and remained
relatively  constant throughout the experiment.   Bromoacetic  acid was
detected once at 2.3% on day 14.  Bromoacetamide was detected twice at
1.1% at  hr five and 1.4% on  day seven.  Dibromoacetonitrile was
detected at  1.8% at day zero, and 5.6% at day five.  Unknowns were
detected at a maximum of 10.9% on day 15.

       Three degradates were identified in the sediment layer: oxalic acid;
2- cyanoacetamide; and bromoacetamide.  The degradate found in highest
concentration in the sediment was  2-cyanoacetamide which reached 16%
of the applied  at day two and fell  to 1.1% by day 30.  Bromoacetamide
was  present at 0.2% at 0 hr, rose  to 2.1% by day two, and was not
detected by  day 30.  Oxalic acid  reached 4.5% at hr five,  then fell to
0.2% by day 30. Unknowns were detected during various times at 0.2%.
b.     Environmental Fate Assessment

             Because  of its use pattern, DBNPA would not generally
contaminate ground water, but would likely contaminate surface waters by
discharge or spill.  In general, DBNPA hydrolyses rapidly (t'/2= 
-------
       various pathways that generate these degradation products depend upon
       pH, and the presence of light and nucleophiles.  As the pH increases from
       neutral the half-life of the parent decreases.

              In the aerobic and anaerobic aquatic metabolism studies the parent
       degraded  with a  half-life  of less than  four  hours.   The  parent and
       degradate concentrations decreased rapidly during the metabolism studies
       and most of the residues were found in the aqueous layer.

2.     Ecological Effects

       a.      Ecological Effects Data

              There are sufficient ecotoxicological data submitted to characterize
       the  toxicity  of DBNPA to  nontarget terrestrial and aquatic organisms.
       Results of these studies are  summarized below.

              (1)    Terrestrial Data

                    Results  from toxicology studies suggest that  DBNPA  is
              highly toxic to mammals and avian species on an acute oral basis,
              but has low toxicity  to avian species on a dietary basis.  A study
              (described above in  Section III. B.) with female laboratory rats
              using 95% a. i. resulted in an estimated LD50 of 178 mg/kg on an
              acute oral basis.  Three acute oral avian toxicity studies on mallard
              ducks and bobwhite quail  resulted in LD50s for combined sexes
              ranging from 150-354 mg/kg.   The  subacute dietary  data on
              mallard ducks and  bobwhite quail using 95%  and 100%  a.i.
              resulted in  an LC50  > 10,000 ppm and an LC50  >  5620 ppm,
              respectively. Table 7 below summarizes these results.

                          (2)    Aquatic Data

                                 Many aquatic toxicological studies have been reviewed by
                          the Agency.  The study results are summarized below.  DBNPA
                          appears to be moderately  toxic to freshwater fish species  and
                          moderately to highly toxic  to freshwater Crustacea.  In addition,
                          study results suggest that DBNPA is moderately toxic to estuarine
                          fish and shrimp,  highly toxic to estuarine mysids and very highly
                          toxic to estuarine shellfish and larvae.  Acute effects to estuarine
                          oyster (Eastern Oyster)  were seen at levels below the analytical
                          detection  limit, 0.070 mg/L.  Therefore,  actual levels at which
                          effects begin for shellfish have not been established. It must be
                          noted that, due  to chemical degradation,  many toxic effects to
                          aquatic organisms occurred within 24 hours of exposure.   Some
                          degradates  of  DBNPA  are  highly   (dibromoacetonotrile),
                          moderately   (monobromonitrilo-propionamide),  and   slightly
                          (dibromoacetamide) toxic to fathead minnow.

                    b.    Ecological Effects Risk Assessment

                          Sufficient information exists to suggest that DBNPA will display
                    moderate toxicity to terrestrial  mammals and avian species if they are
                    exposed to oral doses of concentrated residues of DBNPA.  This might
                    occur under such conditions as an accidental spill or excessive discharge of
                    the chemical into a static pool.  This information  will be used for product
                    hazard labeling purposes. However, based on  submitted  avian dietary
                    studies,  dietary toxicity  to  avian species is low.    Median lethal
                    concentrations were above 5620 ppm for both mallard duck and bobwhite
                    quail.

                          The available data suggests, however, that  DBNPA, without any
                    mitigation measures, poses a high risk to aquatic organisms.  These data
                    include  environmental  fate data,   ecotoxicological  data on  aquatic
                    organisms, and an exposure screening model.
                                          18

-------
                    To aid in the aquatic risk assessment of DBNPA, the Agency used
              a screening model.  This model provides the estimated environmental
              concentrations  of DBNPA residues in receiving streams from effluent of
              pulp/paper  mills,  cooling  towers,  oil  well/drilling muds,  and  metal
              finishing uses.  The model,  Tier  Ic EEC,  determines the maximum
              concentration that occurs immediately downstream from an industrial (point
              source) discharge site. The calculated EECs are those for a high exposure
              site with a return frequency of one in 10  years and for a typical site at
              mean stream flow.  The high exposure site  represents a site mat would be
              expected to produce larger EECs than 90% of all sites with the specified
              use pattern.  A one in 10 year EEC has a 10% probability of being equaled
              or exceeded in any single year at a given site or, would be equalled or
              exceeded once every ten years at that site on a long term average. This is
              similar to the site and frequency assumptions that are generally being used
              for agricultural pesticides.  These EECs  are presented for 50% of the
              industries as high  (low stream  flow) and typical (mean  stream  flow)
              exposure scenarios in Table 9 below.

                    The EECs range from 0.004 to 0.200 ppm of DBNPA for typical
              exposure scenarios  and  from 0.070 to 3.000 ppm for high exposure
              scenarios.  For both scenarios the model suggests DBNPA EECs will be
              higher in receiving streams from effluent discharged from secondary oil
              recovery systems and metal finishing plants, than from the other three uses.

                    To compare these EECs  to DBNPA's aquatic toxicity profile the
              Agency  has calculated levels  of concern (LOG) for aquatic organisms
              including endangered species potentially exposed to DBNPA. These LOCs
              are derived from the toxic potency indicated from the studies summarized
              in Table 8. The LOCs of four indicator species are shown in Table 10.
              below.

                          Half the LC^ for DBNPA for four types of aquatic indicator species
                    are -0.43 ppm for Daphnia; 0.5 ppm for freshwater fish (rainbow trout);
                    ~ 0.36 for Mysid shrimp;  and <0.035 ppm for shellfish (Eastern Oyster).

                          An LOG is met or exceeded when the EEC value equals or exceeds
                    !/2 the LC50 values for non-endangered aquatic organisms (Table 11).  The
                    EEC values (Table 9.) are approximately equal to or greater than the LOG
                    value for shellfish for typical and high  scenarios except for metal finishing
                    at typical exposure scenarios.  Therefore, if the receiving streams have a
                    flow rate below their mean flow condition, there potentially is a high risk
                    to shellfish  in these waters under direct discharge.

                          If an EEC is less than the LOG that suggests a high likelihood  the
                    chemical can be discharged into receiving waters without causing adverse
                    effects.  If the EEC equals or exceeds the LOG, it may indicate that the
                    pesticide can have a potential adverse impact on non-target organisms.

                          The LOCs for endangered aquatic species are 1/20 the LC50 values,
                    which for DBNPA are 0.04 ppm for Daphnia; 0.05 ppm for freshwater
                    fish  (rainbow trout); 0.04 ppm for Mysid shrimp; and  < 0.004 for shellfish
                    (Eastern Oyster). The  EECs for the high and typical exposure scenarios
                    for  all uses of  DBNPA  exceed  the  LOCs for  endangered  aquatic
                    invertebrates. The EECs for the high exposure scenario for  all uses of
                    DBNPA exceed the level of concern for freshwater fish. In addition, the
                    typical exposure scenario EEC values for  metal finishing, pulp and paper,
                    and  secondary  oil recovery systems exceed the LOG for endangered
                    freshwater fish.  As DBNPA will be discharged at several different sites,
                    it is  reasonable to assume that endangered species are located in some of
                    these aquatic habitats and are likely to be adversely affected.

             3.     Mitigation of Risk to Aquatic Organisms

                    After evaluating available data and consultations between Agency Offices
             (Office of Pesticide Programs,  Office of Water,  and the  Office of Pollution
             Prevention and Toxics), the Agency has determined that aquatic risk concerns for
             all uses of DBNPA,  except single  flow-through cooling systems,  may be
             adequately mitigated by secondary biological treatment of waste water.

                    Factors considered in the consultation include:
                    1)    DBNPA's use sites;
                    2)    available    environmental   fate   and  ecotoxicological
                          information;
                    3)    information regarding waste water treatments.

                    The  recommended mitigation measure is secondary biological  effluent
             treatment.  Environmental fate data suggest that DBNPA degrades rapidly by
             anaerobic and aerobic aquatic metabolism into less toxic degradates.

                    Secondary biological effluent treatment is required for all aquatic industrial
             uses of DBNPA except:

                    1)    waste water treatment systems;
                    2)    secondary oil recovery systems;
                    3)    single flow-through cooling systems.

                    Biological  effluent treatment is  not  needed for  waste water treatment
             systems because biological degradation readily occurs  in these systems.  Secondary
             biological treatment is not feasible for secondary oil recovery systems.   An
             evaluation of the secondary  oil  recovery use pattern for  DBNPA adequately
             reduces  the Agency's   concern with this use pattern.  However,  aquatic risk
                                          21

-------
             concerns (Table 11) for the single flow-through cooling system use of DBNPA
             remains since secondary biological effluent treatment is not practical for this use.

                    The Agency has determined that based on expected "end-of-pipe" effluent
             concentrations from single flow-through cooling  towers, unacceptable risk to
             aquatic organisms may occur with presently labeled rates.  Without some type of
             mitigatory measure before direct release of the effluent, present environmental
             concerns are expected to remain high for the single flow-through cooling tower use
             of DBNPA.

IV.    RISK MANAGEMENT AND REREGISTRATION DECISION

       A.    Determination of Eligibility

             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
       ingredient are  eligible for reregistration.  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 DBNPA.  The Agency has completed its
       review of these generic data, and has determined that the data and measures  stipulated in
       this document  are sufficient to support reregistration of  products containing DBNPA
       except for those labeled with the single flow-through cooling tower use.  Appendix B
       identifies the  generic data  requirements that the Agency reviewed as  part of its
       determination of reregistration eligibility of DBNPA, and lists the  submitted studies that
       the Agency  found acceptable or supplemental.

             The data identified in Appendix B are sufficient to allow the Agency to assess the
       registered uses of DBNPA and to determine that DBNPA, as labeled and specified in this
       document, can be used in most applications without resulting in unreasonable adverse
       effects to humans and the environment.   The Agency has determined that the use of
       DBNPA in single flow-through cooling towers is ineligible for reregistration due to the
       potential high risks  of toxicity to nontarget aquatic organisms and its  relatively low
       benefits. This decision is further discussed in sections B and C below.

             The Agency made its reregistration eligibility determination based upon the target
       data base required for reregistration-and benefits information for the single flow-through
       cooling tower use. The current guidelines for conducting acceptable studies to generate
       such data and the data are identified in Appendix B. Although the Agency has found that
       all uses  but the single flow-through cooling tower  use   of DBNPA  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 DBNPA,  if new information comes to the Agency's attention or if the
       data requirements for registration  (or the guidelines for generating such data) change.
                                          22

-------
B.     Eligibility Decision

       Based on the reviews of the generic data for the active ingredient DBNPA the
Agency has sufficient information on the health effects of DBNPA and on its potential for
causing adverse effects in fish and wildlife and the environment.  Therefore, the Agency
concludes that  specific  products containing DBNPA  for all uses except single flow-
through cooling tower uses are eligible for reregistration when  labeled and used as
specified in this Reregistration Eligibility Decision,  since they will not pose unreasonable
risks or adverse effects to humans or the environment.

       As described in Section HI. C. above, available information indicates that DBNPA
without any mitigation measures poses a high risk to aquatic organisms when released to
bodies of water during normal use.  However, when secondary biological treatment is
performed, data suggest DBNPA and its degradates would be sufficiently degraded to
adequately mitigate  the risk.  While this remedy is available for most current uses of
DBNPA products, it is not considered practical for release of DBNPA treated water from
single flow-through cooling towers. This is primarily because of the typical large size of
these single flow-through cooling tower systems  and the high volume  of water  which
passes through them.

       Information provided by the principal registrants of DBNPA indicate that current
usage of this pesticide in single flow-through cooling towers in the U.S. is  negligible. The
registrants contend that this is because, while DBNPA is effective at pest control  in this
site, it is more costly  than currently registered alternative pesticides.  Consequently, since
the current benefits of DBNPA for this use are low or non-existent, and the potential risk
to aquatic organisms is potentially high when used,  the Agency, as required by Section
4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA, concludes this use is unreasonable as described in Section  3(c)5.
Therefore, the Agency will take appropriate regulatory action against DBNPA products
labeled for this use.
C.    Regulatory Position

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

       1.     Secondary Biological Effluent Treatment Statement

              The required  aquatic risk mitigation measure is secondary biological
       effluent treatment.  Environmental  fate data indicates that DBNPA degrades
       rapidly by anaerobic and aerobic aquatic metabolism into less  toxic degradates.
                                     23

-------
 Therefore, DBNPA residues from treatment sites would be reduced before release
 into surface waters.

 2.     Endangered Species Statement

       The Agency has concerns about the exposure of threatened and endangered
 shellfish (mollusk) species to DBNPA as discussed above in the science assessment
 chapter (Section III.).  Currently,  the Agency is developing a program ("The
 Endangered Species Protection Program") to identify all pesticides whose use may
 cause adverse impacts on  endangered and threatened species and to implement
 mitigation measures that will eliminate the adverse impacts. The program would
 require use modifications or a generic product label statement, requiring users to
 consult county-specific bulletins.  These bulletins would provide information about
 specific use restrictions to protect endangered and threatened species in the county.
 Consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service will be necessary to assess risks
 to newly listed species or from proposed new uses.

       The Agency plans  to publish a description of the Endangered Species
 Program in the  Federal Register by 1995 and have enforceable county-specific
 bulletins available.   Because the Agency  is taking this approach for protecting
 endangered and threatened species, it is not imposing label modifications at this
 time through the  RED. Any requirements for product use modifications will occur
 in the future under the Endangered Species Protection Program.

3.     Risk Mitigation to  Handlers

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

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

       (a)     If EPA has no special concerns about the acute or other
       adverse effects of an  active ingredient,  the PPE  for pesticide
       handlers will be 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.

       (b)    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  or  delayed effects  (cancer,  developmental
       toxicity, reproductive effects, etc):
                             24

-------
                    *•      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.

                          There   are  special  toxicological   concerns   about  DBNPA
                    (developmental toxicity). However, the risk assessment  indicates that only
                    one use  warrants the establishment of active-ingredient-based  PPE
                    requirements for handlers.  The MOE's were calculated as being acceptable
                    for all uses, except open pouring into cooling towers.   For  that use, the
                    MOE is acceptable only when handlers were wearing long-sleeved shirt,
                    long pants, chemical-resistant apron, chemical-resistant gloves and shoes
                    plus socks. Therefore, that suite of PPE is required for handlers engaged
                    in open pouring into cooling towers.  If a closed (metering) system is used
                    to add DBNPA to cooling towers, the handler only must  wear  long sleeved
                    shirt, long pants, shoes, and socks.

V.     ACTIONS REQUIRED BY REGISTRANTS

       This section specifies the data requirements and responses necessary for the reregistration
of both manufacturing-use and end-use products.

       A.    Manufacturing-Use Products

             1.     Additional Generic Data Requirements

                    The generic database supporting the reregistration of DBNPA for the above
             eligible uses has been reviewed and determined to be substantially complete. No
             additional generic data are required to support the current uses.

             2.     Labeling Requirements for Manufacturing-Use Products
                                          25

-------
Personal Protective Equipment and Engineering Controls

       Handler PPE for Occupational-Use Products

       The minimum (baseline) PPE for handlers engaged in open pouring of
DBNPA into cooling towers is: long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks,
chemical-resistant gloves, and a chemical-resistant apron.

       Other Labeling Requirements

       The Agency is requiring the following labeling statements to be located on
all  end-use  products containing  DBNPA that are  intended  primarily  for
occupational use:

       Application Restrictions:

             "Do not apply this product  in a way that will contact
             workers or other persons, either directly or through drift.
             Only protected  handlers  may  be  in  the  area  during
             application."

       Engineering Controls:

             "When handlers use closed metering systems the handler
             requirements  may be reduced or modified to long-sleeve
             shirt, long pants, shoes and socks."
      User Safety Requirements:

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

      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
             inside.  Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing."
                            26

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

      Sensitization Statement:

             The following statement is required in the "Hazards to Humans (and
      Domestic Animals)" section of the Precautionary Statements oh the labeling
      of all end-use products containing DBNPA, because it \s classified as a skin
      sensitizer:

             "This product may cause skin sensitization reactions in some
             people."

      Type of Respirator:

             If the acute inhalation toxicity of the end-use product is in category
      I or II and, therefore, a respirator is required for pesticide handlers, the
      following type of respirator is appropriate to mitigate DBNPA inhalation
      concerns:

             "A  respirator  with either  an  organic-vapor-removing
             cartridge  with   a  prefilter  approved  for   pesticides
             (MSHA/NIOSH approval number prefix TC-23C), or a
             canister approved for pesticides (MSHA/NIOSH approval
             number prefix TC-14G)."

Effluent Discharge Labeling Statements

      All DBNPA manufacturing-use or end-use pesticide products that may be
contained in an effluent discharged to the waters of the United States or municipal
sewer systems must bear the following effluent discharge labeling statement.
                             27

-------
              "This product is toxic to fish and invertebrates.  Do not discharge
              effluent containing  this  product into lakes,  streams,  ponds,
              estuaries, oceans or other waters unless in accordance with the
              requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
              (NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified in
              writing prior to discharge.   Secondary biological treatment of
              DBNPA effluent is required for all uses except for use in secondary
              oil recovery systems.   Do not discharge effluent containing  this
              product to sewer systems without previously notifying  the local
              sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance contact your State
              Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA."

              All  affected pesticide products distributed or  sold by registrants and
       distributors (supplemental registrants) must bear the above labeling by October 1,
       1995.  All products distributed or sold by  persons other than  registrants  or
       supplemental registrants after October  1, 1997 must bear the correct labeling.
       Refer to PR Notice 93-10 or 40 CFR  152.46(a)(l) for additional information.

B.     End-Use Products

       1.      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 and  instructions are listed in
       Appendix G, the Product Specific Data Call-In Notice.


       2.      Labeling Requirements for End-Use Products

              The labels and labeling  of all products must comply with EPA's current
       regulations and requirements as specified in 40 CFR §156.10. Please follow the
       instructions in the Pesticide Reregistration Handbook with respect to labels and
       labeling.

       Protective Equipment and Engineering Controls

              Refer to subsection "A"  above for labelling requirements and controls.

       Effluent Discharge Labeling Statements

              Refer  to subsection A. above  for labeling  requirements for effluent
       discharge.
                                   28

-------
C.     Existing Stocks

       Registrants may generally distribute and sell products bearing old labels/labeling
for 26 months from the date of the issuance of this Reregistration 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  DBNPA
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
obligated to  meet preexisting  Agency  imposed  label changes and existing  stocks
requirements applicable to products they sell or distribute.

                               GUIDE TO APPENDIX B
Appendix B contains listings of data requirements which support the reregistration for active
ingredients within the case  covered by this Reregistration Eligibility Decision Document. It
contains generic data requirements that apply to  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:

                           A    Terrestrial food
                           B     Terrestrial feed
                           C     Terrestrial non-food
                           D    Aquatic food
                           E     Aquatic non-food outdoor
                           F     Aquatic non-food industrial
                           G    Aquatic non-food residential
                           H    Greenhouse food
                           I      Greenhouse non-food
                           J      Forestry
                           K    Residential
                           L     Indoor food
                           M    Indoor non-food
                           N    Indoor medical
                           O    Indoor residential

       3.  Bibliographic citation (Column 3).  If the Agency has acceptable data in its files, this
column lists  the identifying number of each study.  This normally  is the Master  Record
Identification (MRID) number, but may be a "GS" number if no MRID number has been assigned.
Refer to the Bibliography appendix for a complete citation of the study.

                               GUIDE TO APPENDIX C

 1.     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 Decision 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.

2.     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.

3.      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.

4.      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.
                                          63

-------
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.

                                 July 29, 1986

                                                             OFFICE OF
                             PR NOTICE 86-5            PREVENTION. PESTICIDES
                                                      AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES

          NOTICE TO PRODUCERS, FORMULATORS, DISTRIBUTORS
                         AND REGISTRANTS

Attention:      Pers9ns  responsible  for Federal registration of
                pesticides.

Subject:        Standard format for  data submitted under the
                Federal  Insecticide,  Fungicide,  and Rodenticide
                Act  (FIFRA)  and certain provisions of the Federal
                Food, Drug,  and Cosmetic Act  (FFDCA).

I.   Purpose

     To require data to be  submitted to the  Environmental
Protection Agency  (EPA)  in  a standard  format.  This Notice also
provides additional guidance about,  and illustrations of,  the
required formats.

II.  Applicability

     This PR Notice applies to all  data that are  submitted to EPA
to satisfy data requirements f9r granting or maintaining
pesticide registrations, experimental  use permits,  tolerances,
and related approvals under certain provisions of FIFRA and
FFDCA.  These data are  defined in FIFRA §10(d)(l).   This Notice
does not apply  to commercial,  financial,  or  production
information, which are,  and must continue to be,  submitted
differently under separate  cover.

III. Effective  Date

     This notice is effective on November 1,  1986.  Data formatted
according to this notice may be submitted prior to the effective
date.  As of the effective  date, submitted data packages that do
not conform to  these requirements may  be  returned to the
submitter for necessary revision.

IV.  Background

     On September 26, 1984,  EPA published proposed regulations in
the Federal Register (49 FR 37956)  which  include  Requirements for
Data Submission (40 CFR §158.32), and  Procedures  for Claims  of
Confidentiality of Data (40  CFR §158.33). These regulations
specify the format for  data submitted  to  EPA under Section 3 of
FIFRA and Sections 408  and  409 of FFDCA,  and procedures which
must be followed to make and substantiate claims  of  confiden-
tiality.  No entitlements to data confidentiality are changed,
either by the proposed  regulation or by this  notice.

     OPP is making these requirements  mandatory through this
Notice to gain  resource-saving benefits from their use before the


                                81

-------
entire proposed regulation becomes final. Adequate lead time is
being provided for. submitters to comply with the new
requirements.

V.   Relationship of this Notice to Other OPP Policy and Guidance

     While this Notice contains requirements for organizing and
formatting submittals of supporting data, it does not address the
substance of test reports themselves.  "Data reporting" guidance
is now under development in OPP, and will specify how the study
objectives, protocol, observations, findings, and conclusions are
organized and presented within the study report. The data
reporting guidance will be cpmpatible with submittal format
requirements described in this Notice.

     OPP has also promulgated a policy (PR Notice 86-4 dated
April 15, 1986) that provides for early screening of certain
applications for registration under FIFRA §3.  The objective of
the screen is to avoid the additional costs and prolonged delays
associated with handling significantly incomplete application
packages.  As of the effective date of this Notice,  the screen
will include in its criteria for acceptance of application
packages the data formatting requirements described herein.

     OPP has also established a public docket which imposes
deadlines for inserting intp the docket documents submitted in
connection with Special Reviews and Registration Standards (see
40 CFR §154.15 and §155.32).  To meet these deadlines, OPP is
requiring an additional copy of any data submitted to the docket.
Please refer to Page 10 for more information about this
requirement.

     For several years, OPP has required that each application
for registration or other action include a list of all applicable
data requirements and an indication of how each is satisfied—the
statement of the method of support f9r the application.
Typically, many requirements are satisfied by reference to data
previously submitted--either by the applicant or by another
party.  That requirement is not altered by this notice, which
applies only to data submitted with an application.

VI.   Format Requirements

     A more detailed discussion of these format requirements
follows the index on the next page, and samples of some of the
requirements are attached.  Except for the language of the two
alternative forms of the Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims
(shown in Attachment 3) which cannot be altered, these samples
are illustrative.  As long as the required information is
included and clearly identifiable, the form of the samples may be
altered to reflect the submitter's preference.

G.   Special Requirements for Submitting Data to the Docket   10
A.   Organization of Submittal Package

     A "submittal package" consists of all studies submitted at
the same time for review in support of a single regulatory
action, along with a transmittal document and other related
administrative material (e.g. the method of support statement,
EPA Forms 8570-1, 8570-4,  8570-20, etc.) as appropriate.

     Data submitters must organize each submittal package as
described in this Notice.   The transmittal and any other admin-
istrative material must be grouped together in the first physical
volume.  Each study included in the submittal package must then
be bound separately.

     Submitters sometimes provide additional materials that are
intended to clarify, emphasize, or otherwise comment to help
Product Managers and reviewers better understand the submittal.

        If such materials relate to one study, they should be
     included as an appendix to that study.

     - If such materials relate to more than one study  (as for
     example a summary of all studies in a discipline) or to the
     submittal in general, they must be included in the submittal
     package as a separate study  (with title page and statement
     of confidentiality claims).

B.   Transmittal Document

     The first item in each submittal package must be a trans-
mittal document.  This document identifies the submitter or all
joint submitters; the regulatory action in support of which the
package is being submitted—i.e., a registration application,
petition, experimental use permit (EUPj, §3(c)(2)(B) data
call-in, §6(a)(2) submittal, 9r a special review; the transmittal
date; and a list of all individual studies included in the
package in the order of their appearance, showing (usually by
Guideline reference number) the data requirement(s)  addressed by
each one.  The EPA-assigned number for the regulatory action
(e.g. the registration, EUP, or tolerance petition number) should
be included in the transmittal document as well, if it is known
to the submitter.  See Attachment 1 for an example of an
acceptable transmittal document.

     The list of included studies in the transmittal of a data
submittal package supporting a registration application should be
subdivided by discipline,  reflecting the order in which data
requirements appear in 40 CFR 158.

     The list of included studies in the transmittal of a data
submittal package supporting a petition for tolerance or an


                                83

-------
 application for an EUP should be  subdivided into sections A  B
  ';Ti'coio£ne Petition or application,  as  defined in 40  CFR 180.7
 on£fj-  ••I25'  (Petitions)  or Pesticide Assessment Guidelines,
 Subdivision I (EUPs)  as appropriate.

     When a submittal package supports  a tolerance petition and
 an application for a  registration or an EUP,  list the petition"
 studies  first,  then the balance of the  studies.   Within  these two
 groups of studies follow the instructions  above.

 C.   Individual Studies

     A study is the report of a single  scientific investigation,
 including all supporting analyses required for logical complete-
 ness.  A study.slKmld be identifiable and  distinguishable by a
 conventional  bibliographic citation including author,  date,  and
 title.   Studies generally correspond in scope to a single Guide-
 line requirement for  supporting data, with some  exceptions dis-
 cussed in section C.I.   Each study included in a submittal
  Eackage  must.be bound as a separate entity.   (See comments on
  inding  studies on page 9.)

 ^t.  *.Ea?h studV must  be consecutively paginated,  beginning from
 the title page as page 1.   The total number of pages  in  the com-
 plete study must be shown on the  study  title  page.   In addition
 (to ensure that inadvertently separated pages can be  reassociated
 with the proper study during handling or review)  use  either of
 the following:

     - Include the total number of pages in the  complete study on
     each page (i.e.,  1 of 250, 2 of 250,  ...250  of  250) .

     - Include a company name or  mark and  study  number on each
     page of  the study,  e g ,  Company Name-1986-23.    Never reuse
     a study  number for marking the pages  of  subsequent  studies
     When a single study is extremely long, binding  it in mul-
 tiple V9lumes is permissible so long as the entire study is pag-
 inated in a single series,  and each volume  is plainly identified
 by the study  title and its  position in  the  multi-volume  sequence.

 C.I  Special  Considerations for Identifying Studies

     Some studies raise special problems in study identification,
 because  they  address  Guidelines of  broader  than normal scope  or
 for other reasons.

     a.  Safety Studies.   Several  Guidelines require  testing for
 safety in more  than one species.  In these cases each  species
 tested should be reported as  a separate study, and bound
 separately.

     Extensive  supplemental  reports of pathology  reviews,  feed
 analyses,  historical  C9ntrol  data,  and  the  like are often  assoc-
 iated with safety studies.  Whenever possible these should be
 submitted with primary  reports of  the study, and  bound with the
 primary  study as  appendices.  When  such supplemental  reports  are
 submitted independently of  the primary report, take care  to fully
 identify  the  primary  report  to which they pertain.

     Batteries of  acute toxicity  tests,  performed on  the same  end
 use product and  covered by  a  single title page,  may be bound
 together  and  reported as  a  single study.

  . , .b- Product  Chemistry Studies.   All product  chemistry data
 within a  submittal package  submitted in support of an end-use
 product produced from registered manufacturing-use products
 should be bound  as a  single study under a single  title page.

     Product  chemistry  data submitted in support  of a technical
product,   other manufacturing-use product,  an experimental use
permit,  an  import  tolerance petition,  or an end-use product


                                84

-------
produced from unregistered source ingredients, should be bound as
a single study for each Guideline series  (61, 62, and 63) for
C9nventional pesticides, or for the equivalent subject range for
biorational pesticides.  The first of the three studies in a
complete product chemistry submittal for a biochemical pesticide
would cover Guidelines 151-10, 151-11, and 151-12; the second
would cover Guidelines 151-13, 151-15, and 151-16; the third
would cover Guideline 151-17. The first study for a microbial
pesticide would cover Guidelines 151-20, 151-21, and 151-22; the
second W9uld cover Guidelines 151-23 and 151-25; the third would
cover Guideline 151-26.

     Note particularly that product chemistry studies are likely
to contain Confidential Business Information as defined in FIFRA
§10(d)(1)(A),  (B),  or  (C),  and if so must be handled as described
in section D.3.  of this notice.

     c.   Residue Chemistry Studies.   Guidelines 171-4, 153-3,
and 153-4 are extremely broad in scope; studies addressing
residue chemistry requirements must thus be defined at a level
below that of the Guideline code.  The general principle,
iKwever, of limiting a study to the report of a single inves-
tigation still applies fully.  Data should be treated as a single
study and bound separately for each analytical method, each
report of the nature of the residue in a single crop or animal
species, and for each report of the magnitude of residues
resulting from treatment of a single cr9p or from processing a
single crop.  When more than one commodity is derived from a
single crop (such as beet tops and beet roots) residue data on
all such C9mmodities should be reported as a single study.  When
multiple field trials are associated with a single crop, all such
trials should be reported as a single study.

D.   Organization of Each Study Volume

     Each complete study must include all applicable elements in
the list below,  in the order indicated.   (Also see Page 17.)
Several of these elements are further explained in the following
paragraphs.   Entries in the column headed "example" cite the
page number of this notice where the element is illustrated.

-------
D.I. Title Page

     A title page is always required for each submitted study,
published or unpublished.  The title page must always be freely
releasable to requestors; DO NOT INCLUDE CBI ON THE TITLE PAGE.
An example of an acceptable title page is on page 12 of this
notice.  The following information must appear on the title page:

a.   Study title.  The study title should be as descriptive as
possible It must clearly identify the substance(s) tested and
correspond to the name of the data requirement as it appears in
the Guidelines.

b.   Data requirement addressed.   Include on the title page the
Guideline number(s)of the specific requirement(s) addressed by
the study.

c.   Auth9r(s).  Cite only individuals with primary intellectual
responsibility for the C9ntent 9f the study.  Identify them
plainly as authors, to distinguish them from the performing
laboratory, study sponsor, or other names that may also appear on
the title page.

d.   Study Date.  The title page must include a single date for
the study.If parts of the study were performed at different
times, use only the date of the latest element in the study.

e.   Performing Laboratory IdentificatJ9n.  If the study reports
work done by one or more laboratories,Include on the title page
the name and address of the performing laboratory or
laboratories, and the laboratory's internal project number(s) for
the W9rk.  Clearly distinguish the laboratory's project
identifier from any other reference numbers provided by the study
sponsor or submitter.

f.   Supplemental Submissions.  If the study is a commentary on
or supplement to another previously submitted study, or if it
responds to EPA questions raised with respect to an earlier
study, include 9n the title page elements a. through d. for the
previ9usly submitted study, along with the EPA Master Record
Identifier (MRID) or Accession number 9f the earlier study if you
know these numbers.  (Supplements submitted in the same submittal
package as the primary study should be appended to and bound with
the primary study.  Do not include supplements to more than one
study under a single title page).

      Facts of Publication.  If the study is a reprint of a pub-
 ished d9cument, identity on the title page all relevant facts of
publication, such as the J9urnal title, volume, issue, inclusive
page numbers, and publication date.


D.2. Statements of Data Confidentiality Claims Under FIFRA
§10(d)(1).

     Each submitted study must be accompanied by one of the two
alternative forms of the statement of Data Confidentiality Claims
specified in the proposed regulation in §158.33 (b) and (c)   (See
Attachment 3).   These statements apply only to claims of data
confidentiality based on FIFRA §10(d)(1)(A), (B),  or  (C).  Use
the appropriate alternative form of the statement either to
assert a claim of §10(d)(l) data confidentiality  (§158.33(b)) or
to waive such a claim (§158.33(c)).  In either case, the
statement must be signed and dated, and must include the typed
name and title of the official who signs it.  09 not make CBI
claims with respect to analytical methods associated with pet-


                                86

-------
itions for tolerances or emergency exemptions (see NOTE Pg 13).

D.3. Confidential Attachment

     If the claim is made that a study includes confidential
business information as defined by the criteria of FIFRA
§10(D)(1)(A),  (B),  or (C) (as described in D.2. above) all such
information must be excised from the body 9f the study and
confined to a separate study-specific Confidential Attachment.
Each passage of CBI so isolated must be identified by a reference
number cited within the body of the study at the point from which
the passage was excised  (See Attachment 5).

     The Confidential Attachment to a study must be identified by
a cover sheet fully identifying the parent study, and must be
clearly marked "Confidential Attachment."  An appropriately
annotated photocopy of the parent study title page may be used as
this cover sheet.  Paginate the Confidential Attachment
separately from the body of the study, beginning with page 1 of X
on  the title page.   Each passage confined to the Confidential
Attachment must be associated with a specific cross reference to
the page(s) in the main body of the study on which it is cited,
and with a reference to the applicable passage(s) of FIFRA
§10(d)(1) on which the confidentiality claim is based.

D.4. Supplemental Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims  (See
     Attachment 4)

     If you wish to make a claim of confidentiality for any
portion of a submitted study other than described by FIFRA §10(d)
(1)(A),  (B), or  (C), the following provisions apply:

     - The specific information to which  the claim applies must
     be clearly marked in the body of the study as subject to a
     claim of confidentiality.

     - A Supplemental Statement 9f Data Confidentiality Claims
     must be submitted,  identifying each passage claimed confi-
     dential and describing in detail the basis for the claim.
     A list of the'points to address in such a statement is
     included in Attachment 4 on Pg 14.

     - The Supplemental  Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims
     must be signed and dated and must include the typed name and
     title of the official who signed it.

D.5. Good Laboratory Practice Compliance  Statement

     This statement is required if the study contains laboratory
work subject to GLP requirements specified in  40 CFR  160.  Sam-
ples of  these statements are shown in Attachment 6.

E.   Reference to Previously Submitted Data

     DO NOT RESUBMIT A STUDY THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN SUBMITTED
FOR ANOTHER PURPOSE unless EPA specifically requests  it.-   A  copy
of  the title page plus the MRID number  (if known)  is  sufficient
to  allow us t9 retrieve  the study immediately  for  review.  This
prevents duplicate entries in the Agency  files, and saves you
the cost of sending more copies of the study.  References to pre-
viously  submitted studies srKmld not be  included in the  transmit-
tal document, but should be incorporated  into  the  statement of
the method  of support for the application.

F.   Physical Format Recruirements

     All elements in the data submittal package must  be  on
uniform  8  1/2 by 11 inch white paper, printed  on one  side only in
black ink, with high contrast and good res9lution.  Bindings  for
individual  studies' must  be secure, but easily  removable  to permit
disassembly for microfilming.  Check with EPA  for  special

 Please  be particularly  attentive  to the  following points:

      •    Do not  include  frayed or torn  pages.

      •    Do not.include  carbon copies,  or copies in other  than
          black ink.

      •    Make sure  that  photocopies are clear, complete, and


      •    Do not  include  oversize computer printouts or  fold-out
          pages.

      •    Do not  bind any documents with glue or binding tapes.

      •    Make sure  that  all pages of each study, including any
          attachments or  appendices, are present and in correct
          sequence.

 ...    Number of Copies Required - All submittal packages except
 those associated  with a Registration Standard or Special Review
 (See  Part G below) must be provided In three complete, identical
 copies.  (The prop9sed regulations specified two copies; three
 are now.being required to expedite and reduce the cost of
 processing data.into the OPP Pesticide Document Management System
 and getting it into review.)

 G-    Special Requirements for Submitting Data to the Docket

 j  j  Data submittal Packages associated with a Registration Stan-
 dard  or Special Review must be provided  in four copies, from one
 of which all material claimed as CBI has been excised   This
 fourth copy will become part of the public docket for the RS or
 SR case.  If no claims of confidentiality are made for the study
 the fourth copy should be identical to the other three.  When
portions of a study submitted in support of an RS or SR are
 claimed as CBI,  the first three copies will include the CBI
material as provided in section D of this notice.   The following
 special preparation is required for the fourth copy.

      •    Remove  the "Supplemental Statement of Data
          Confidentiality Claims".

     •    Remove  the "Confidential Attachment".

     •    Excise  from the body of the study any information you
          claim as confidential,  even if it does not fall within
          the scope of FIFRA §10(d)(1)(A),  (B),  or (C).  Do not
          close up or paraphrase text remaining after this
          excision.
          Mark the fourth copy plainly on both its cover and its
          title page with the phrase "Public Docket Material -
          contains no information claimed as confidential"

NOTE: Applicants for permanent or temporary tolerances should
note that  it is OPP policy that no permanent tolerance,  temporary
tolerance,  or request  for  an emergency exemption incorporating an
analytical method, can be  approved unless  the applicant  waives
all claims of confidentiality for the analytical method.   These
analytical methods are published in the FDA Pesticide Analytical
Meth9ds Manual, and therefore cannot be claimed as confidential.
OPP implements this policy by returning submitted analytical
methods, for which confidentiality claims  have been made,  to the
submitter,  to obtain the confidentiality waiver before they can
be processed.

         NOTICE TO MANUFACTURERS,  PRODUCERS,  FORMULATORS,
                  AND REGISTRANTS OF PESTICIDES

ATTENTION: Persons Responsible for Federal Registration of
Pesticide Products.

SUBJECT: Accuracy of Stated Percentages for Ingredients
Statement

I.  PURPOSE:

     The purpose of this notice is to clarify the Office of
Pesticide Pr9gram's pplicy with respect to the statement of
percentages in a pesticide's label's ingredient statement.
Specifically, the amount  (percent by weight) of ingredient(s)
specified in the ingredient statement on the label must be stated
as the nominal concentration of such ingredient{s), as that term
is defined in 40 CFR 158.153(i). Accordingly, the Agency has
established the nominal concentration as the only acceptable
label claim for the amount of active ingredient in the product.

II. BACKGROUND

     For some time the Agency has accepted two different methods
9f identifying on the label what percentage is claimed for the
ingredient(s) contained in a pesticide. Some applicants claimed a
percentage which represented a level between the upper and the
lower certified limits. This was referred to as the nominal
concentration. Other applicants claimed the lower limit as the
percentage of the ingredient(s) that would be expected to be
present in their product at the end of the product's shelf-life.
Unfortunately, this led to a great deal of confusion among the
regulated industry, the regulators, and the consumers as to
exactly how much of a given ingredient was in a given product.
The Agency has established the nominal concentration as the only
acceptable label claim for the amount of active ingredient in the
product.

     Current regulations require that the percentage listed in
the active ingredient statement be as precise as possible
reflecting go9d manufacturing practices 40 CFR 156.10(g)(5). The
certified limits required for each active ingredient are intended
to encompass any such "good manufacturing practice" variations 40
CFR 158.175(c)(3).

     The upper and lower certified limits, which must be proposed
in connection with a product's registration, represent the
amounts of an ingredient that may legally be present 40 CFR
158.175. The lower certified limit is used as the enforceable
lower limit for the product composition according to FIFRA


                                99

-------
section 12(a)(l)(C), while the nominal concentration appearing on
the  label would be  the routinely achieved concentration used  tor
calculation of dosages and dilutions.

     The nominal concentration would in fact state the greatest
degree of accuracy  that is warranted with respect to actual
product compositi9n because the nominal concentration would be
the  amount of active ingredient typically found in the product.

     It is imp9rtant for registrants to note that certified
limits for active ingredients are not considered to be trade
secret information  under FIFRA section 10(b). In this respect the
certified limits will be routinely provided by EPA to States  for
enforcement purposes, since the nominal concentration appearing
on the label may not represent the enforceable composition for
purposes of section 12(a)(l)(C).

Ill. REQUIREMENTS

     As described below under Unit V. " COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE," all
currently registered products as well as all applications for new
registration must comply with this Notice by specifying the
nominal concentration expressed as a percentage by weight as  the
label claim in the  ingredient(s) statement and equivalence
statements if applicable (e.g., elemental arsenic,  metallic zinc,
salt of an acid). In addition,  the requirement for performing
sample analyses of  five or more representative samples must be
fulfilled. C9pies of the raw analytical data must be submitted
with the nominal ingredient label claim. Further information
about the analysis  requirement may be found in the 40 CFR
158.170. All products are required to pr9vide certified limits
f9r each active, inert ingredient,  impurities of toxicological
significance(i.e.,   upper limit(s)  9nly) and on a case by case
basis as specified  by EPA.  These limits are to be set based on
representative sampling and chemical analysis(i.e.,  quality
control) of the product.

     The format of  the ingredient statement must conform to 40
CFR 156-Labeling Requirements For Pesticides and Devices.

     After July 1,   1997, all pesticide ingredient Statements must
be changed to nominal concentration.

IV. PRODUCTS THAT REQUIRE EFFICACY DATA

     All pesticides are required to be efficacious.  Therefore,
the certified lower limits may n9t be lower then the minimum
level to achieve efficacy.  This is extremely important for
products which are  intended to C9ntrol pests which threaten the
public health,  e.g., certain antimicrobial and rodenticide
products.  Refer to  40 CFR 153.640.

     In those cases where efficacy limits have been established,
the Agency will not accept certified lower limits which are below
that level for the  shelf life of the product.

V. COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE

     As described earlier,  the purpose of this Notice is to make
the registration process more uniform and more manageable for
both the agency and the regulated community. It is  the Agency's
intention to implement the requirements of this notice as
smoothly as possible so as not to disrupt or delay  the Agency's
high priority programs,  i.e.,  reregistration, new chemical,  or
fast track (FIFRA section 3(c)(3)(B). Therefore,
applicants/registrants are expected to comply with  the


                               100

-------
requirements of this Notice as follows:

     (1)  Beginning July 1, 1991, all new product registrations
          submitted to the Agency are to comply with the
          requirements of this Notice.

 III-C  SATISFYING THE DATA REQUIREMENTS OF THIS NOTICE

       If you acknowledge on the  Data Call-In Response Form that you agree to satisfy the
 product specific data requirements (i.e. you select item number 7a or 7b), then you must  select
 one of the six options on the Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Form related to data
 production for each data requirement.  Your option selection should be entered under item number
 9,  Registrant Response." The six options related to  data production  are the first six options
 discussed under item 9 in the instructions for completing the Requirements Status and Registrant's
 Response Form.  These six options are listed immediately below with information in parentheses
 to guide  registrants to additional instructions provided in this Section. The options are:

       (1)     I will generate and submit data within the specified time frame (Developing  Data)
       (2)     I have entered into an agreement with one or more registrants to  develop data
             jointly (Cost Sharing)
       (3)     I have made pffers to cost-share (Offers to Cost Share)
       (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 witn 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  tor me 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
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.
                                          108

-------
       Option 2, Agreement to Share in Cost to Develop Data  - Registrants may only choose
this option tor acute toxicity data and certain etiicacy 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 optiormf 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 devebping 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  9ther 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 suoject to suspension, your registration as well as
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 tms Notice, you must determine mat the study satisfies the requirements imposed by
this Notice. Y9u 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:


                                           109

-------
       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 oelieves that the  study
              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
upgradeaoie, 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
                                          110

-------
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 or 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 m>A, that study must have been previously classified by EPA as acceptable or it 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 whp  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 etticacy (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:

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 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,
                                          112

-------
       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 referencecf 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 st9cks" provisi9n 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.

       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 die 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.

       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
             descriptions of each option are contained in the Data Call-In Notice.

      1.     I will generate and submit data by the specified due date (Developing Data).  By
             indicating that I have chosen this option, I  certify that I will comply with  all the
             requirements pertaining to the conditions for submittal of this study as outlined in the

             Statement of Formula (EPA Form 8570-4).

      2.     I have entered into an agreement with one or more registrants to develop data jointly
             (Cost Sharing). I am submitting a cppy of this agreement.  I understand that this
             option is available only for acute toxicity or certain efficacy data and only if EPA
             indicates in an attachment to this Notice that my product  is similar enough to another
             product to qualify for this option.  I certify  that another party in the agreement is
             committing to submit or  provide  the required data; if the required study is  not
             submitted on time, my product may be subject to suspension. By the specified due
             date, I  will also submit: (1) a completed "Certification With Respect To Data
             Compensation Requirements" form (EPA Form 8570-29) and (2) two completed

      3.     I have made offers  to share in the cost to develop data (Offers to Cost Share). I
             understand that this option is available only for acute toxicity or certain efficacy data
             and only if EPA indicates in an attachment to this Data Call-In Notice that my product
             is similar enough to another product to qualify for this option. I am submitting
             evidence that I have made an offer to another registrant (who has  an obligation to
             submit  data) to  share in the cost of that data.  I am also submitting a completed
                                          120

       "Certification of Offer to Cost Share in the Development Data" form.  I am
       including a copy of my offer and proof of the other registrant's receipt of that offer.
       I am identifying the party which is committing to submit or provide the required data;
       if the required study is not submitted on time, my product  may be subject to
       suspension.  I understand that other terms under Option 3 in the Data Call-In Notice
       (Section III-C.l.) apply as well.  By the specified due date, I will also submit: (1) a
       completed "Certification With Respect To Data Compensation Requirements"
       form  (EPA Form 8570-29)  and (z)  two completed and signed  copies of the
       Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form 8570-4).

4.     By the specified due date, I will submit an existing study that has not been submitted
       previously to the Agency by anyone (Submitting an Existing Study). I certify that
       this  study will meet all the requirements for submittal of existing data outlined in
       Option 4 in the Data Call-In Notice (Section III-C.l.) and will meet the  attached
       acceptance criteria (for acute toxicity and product chemistry data). I will attach the
       needed supporting information along with this response.   I also certify that I have
       determined that this study will fill the data requirement for which I have indicated this
       choice. By the specified due date, I will also submit a completed "Certification With
       Respect To Data Compensation Requirements" form (EPA Form 8570-29) to
       show what data compensation option I have chosen.  By the specified due date, I will
       also  submit: (1) a completed  "Certification With Respect To Data Compensation
       Requirements" form (EPA Form 8570-29) and (2) two completed and signed copies
       of the Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form 8570-4).

5.     By the specified due date, I will submit or cite data to upgrade a study classified by
       the Agency as partially acceptable and upgradable (Upgrading a Study). I will
       submit evidence of the Agency's review indicating  that the study may be upgraded
       and  what information is required to do so.  I will provide the MRID or Accession
       number of the study at the due  date.  I understand that the conditions for this option
       outlined Option  5 in the Data  Call-In Notice (Section  III-C.l.) apply.  By the
       specified due date, I will also submit: (1) a completed "Certification With  Respect
       To Data Compensation Requirements" form (EPA Form 8570-29) and (2) two
       completed and signed copies of the Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form
       8570-4).

6.     By the specified due date, I will cite an existing study that the Agency has classified
       as acceptable or an existing  study that has been submitted but not reviewed by the
       Agency  (Citing an Existing Studv).  If I am citing another registrant's  study, I
       understand that this option is available only for acute  toxicity or certain efficacy data
       and only if the cited study was conducted on my product, an identical product or a
       product which EPA has "grouped" with one or more other products for purposes of
       depending on the same data.   I may  also choose this option if I am citing  my own
       data.  In either case, I will provide the MRID or Accession number(s) for the cited
       data  on  a "Product Specific Data Report" form or in a similar format.  By the

       To Data Compensation Requirements" form (EPA Form 8570-29) and (2) two
       completed and signed copies of the Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form
       8570-4).

7.     I request a waiver for this study because it is inappropriate for my product (Waiver
       Request).  I am attaching a complete justification for this 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 P.R. Notice
       86-5]. I understand that this is my only opportunity to state the reasons or provide
       information in support of my request. If the Agency approves my waiver request, I
       will not be required to supply the data pursuant to Section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.  If
       the Agency denies my waiver request, I must choose a method of meeting the data

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 guidelines  reference numbers of studies required 19 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

Item 6.       The use patters (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  Documents unless  EPA
             determines that a longer time period is necessary.

   Meeting Data Requirements for Reregistration

EPA'S BATCHING OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING 2.2-DIBROMO-3-NITRILO-
PROPIONAMIDE (DBNPA) 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 DBNPA, the Agency has batched
products which can be considered similar for purposes of acute toxicity. Factors considered in the
S9rting process include each product's active and inert ingredients (identity, percent composition and
biological activity), type of formulation (e.g., emulsifiable concentrate, aerosol,  wettaole powder,
granular, etc.), and labeling (e.g., signal word, use classification, 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 accpmplished by the process described in the
preceding paragraph. Frequently acute  toxicity data on  individual products has  been found to be
incomplete. 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 lexicological studies to represent afl the products within that
batch. It is the registrants' option  to participate in the process with an other registrants, only some
of the other registrants, or only their own products within a batch, or to generate all the
required acute lexicological studies  for each of Iheir own producls.  If a registrant chooses to
generate the dala for a balch, he/she must use one of the products wilhin ihe balch as Ihe lesl
material. If a regislranl chooses to rely  upon previously  submitted acute loxicity data, he/she may
do so provided thai the dala base is complete and valid by today's standards (see  acceptance
criteria attached), the formulation tested is considered by EPA to be similar for acute loxicity, and
the formulation has nol been significanlly altered since submission and acceptance of the acute
loxicily dala. Regardless of whelher new data is generated or existing data is cited, the regislranl
musl clearly identify Ihe material tested by its EPA registration number. If more than one
Confidential Statement Of  Formula (CSF) exists for a  producl regislration, the registranl musl
indicate Ihe formulation actually test ed  by identifying ihe corresponding CSF.

       In deciding how lo meel Ihe producl specific dala  requiremenls, regislranis musl follow Ihe
directions given in ihe Dala Call-In Notice and ils attachment appended lo Ihe RED. The DCI
Notice conlains iwo response forms which are lo be completed and submitted to the Agency within
90 days of receipt  The firsl form, "Dala Call-In Response," asks whelher ihe registrant will meet
Ihe dala requiremenls for each producl.  The second form, "Requiremenls Slatus and Regislranl's
Response," lists the product specific data required for each producl, including ihe standard six acute
loxicily lesls.  A  regislranl who wishes lo participate in a balch musl decide whelher he/she will
provide Ihe dala or depend on someone  else lo do so. If a regislrant supplies the dala lo supporl a
balch of producls, he/she musl selecl one of the following options:  Developing  Dala (Option 1)
Submitting an Existing Study (Option  4), Upgrading an Existing Sludy (Option 5)  or Citing an
Existing Sludy (Option 6). If a regislranl depends on anolher's dala, he/she must choose  among: Cost
Sharing (Option 2), Offers lo Cosl Share (Option 3) or Citing an Existing Sludy (Option 6). If a
regislranl does nol want to participate in a balch, ihe choices are Options  1,
4, 5 or 6. However, a regislranl  should know lhal choosing nol lo participate in a balch does nol
preclude olher regislrants in the batch from citing  his/her sludies and offering lo cosl share (Option
3) Ihose sludies.

      Table I lisls 37 producls conlaining ihe active ingredienl DBNPA (4 batches).

2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilo-


propionamide


(DBNPA)      	
    All pesticides sold or distributed in the United States must be
registered by EPA, based on scientific studies showing that they can be used
without posing unreasonable risks to people or the environment. Because of
advances in scientific knowledge, the law requires that pesticides which
were first registered years ago be reregistered to ensure that they meet
today's more stringent standards.
    In evaluating pesticides for reregistration, EPA obtains and reviews a
complete set of studies from pesticide producers, describing the human
health and environmental effects of each pesticide.  The Agency imposes
any regulatory controls that are needed to effectively manage each
pesticide's risks. EPA then reregisters pesticides that can be used without
posing unreasonable risks to human health or the environment.
    When a pesticide is eligible for reregistration, EPA announces this and
explains why in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document. This
fact sheet summarizes the information in the RED document for
reregistration case 3056;  2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide or DBNPA.

    DBNPA is a biocide used in a variety of industrial processes to control
algae, bacteria, fungi and yeasts. Formulations include tablets and both
solid and liquid soluble concentrates. DBNPA is applied through
shock/slug, initial, intermittent, maintenance, during manufacture and
continuous feed treatments, using metering pumps, drip feed devices and
other types of industrial equipment. A National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit is required for discharges to
waterways.
       Regulatory      DBNPA was first registered as a pesticide in the U.S. in 1972.
          Hfotorv  Currentiy, 44 products are registered that contain this active ingredient.

-------
Human Health   Toxicity
  Assessment        DBNPA is corrosive to the eyes and has been placed in toxicity
                    category I (the highest of four acute toxicity categories) for this effect.  It is
                    moderately, systemically toxic by oral or inhalation routes (toxicity category
                    II), and slightly toxic by the dermal route (toxicity category IE).  Although
                    classified in toxicity category III for primary dermal irritation, DBNPA can
                    kill skin tissue in rabbits when administered at high doses for a prolonged
                    period of time. DBNPA also is a skin sensitizer.
                         In a subchronic toxicity study using rats, DBNPA caused breathing
                    difficulty  associated with lung or heart disease, as well as weight loss and
                    several deaths at the higher doses.  When applied to the skin of rats in
                    another subchronic study, DBNPA caused changes  in body chemistry and
                    dermal irritation at the higher doses.
                         DBNPA is a developmental toxicant in rabbits.  It was shown to cause
                    structural alterations  (retarded ossification of several fetal skeleton elements)
                    at a maternally non-toxic dose level. DBNPA is not mutagenic.
                         EPA has received several human incident reports in which eye, throat
                    and respiratory irritation, runny nose and headache resulted from spills or
                    misuse of DBNPA.

                    Dietary Exposure
                         A food additive tolerance, or  maximum pesticide residue limit for
                    processed food, has been established for food grade paper or paperboard
                    manufactured by processes using DBNPA (please see 21 CFR 176.300).
                    This tolerance is under the regulatory purview of the Food and Drug
                    Administration (FDA), and EPA defers to FDA regarding the safety of
                    dietary exposure to DBNPA.


                    Occupational and  Residential Exposure
                         The potential for occupational exposure exists, particularly among
                    those workers or "handlers" loading DBNPA products by  open delivery or
                   pouring methods.  Handlers may be at risk for acute or developmental
                    toxicity effects via dermal or inhalation exposure.
                         EPA estimated the  Margins of Exposure (MOE) to handlers using
                   open pouring systems and closed systems.  All the MOEs  are acceptable
                   except for the scenario in which a handler uses an open pouring method to
                   add DBNPA to cooling.  With appropriate personal protective equipment
                   (PPE), however,  this handler's exposure would be significantly reduced and
                   the MOE would be acceptable.
                         Risks to post-application/reentry workers are  not anticipated because
                   their potential for exposure is much less than handlers'.  Residential
                   exposure is not expected  since DBNPA has no residential uses.

-------
                    Human Risk Assessment
                         DBNPA is corrosive to the eyes, can kill skin tissue exposed to the
                    chemical at high levels for a prolonged period of time, and is a
                    developmental toxicant in rabbits.  Several human incidents have been
                    reported involving acute exposure to DBNPA after spills or misuse.

                         Handlers of DBNPA may be at risk for acute or developmental
                    toxicity effects, particularly those using open pouring methods to add the
                    pesticide to cooling towers.  EPA is requiring use of appropriate PPE or a
                    closed  application system through this RED to mitigate these risks to
                    workers.
Environmental
  Assessment
Environmental Fate
     Because of its use pattern, DBNPA would not generally contaminate
ground water, but could contaminate surface waters through discharge or
spill.  DBNPA generally hydrolyses rapidly in natural waters to many
degradates which continue to degrade rapidly by aerobic and anaerobic
aquatic metabolism. This decreases their threat to  surface water
contamination.  The primary degradation pathway is through aerobic and
anaerobic metabolism.
                    Ecological Effects
                          DBNPA is highly toxic to mammals and birds on an acute oral basis,
                    but has low toxicity to birds on a dietary basis.  The pesticide is moderately
                    toxic to freshwater fish, estuarine fish and shrimp; moderately to highly
                    toxic to freshwater crustaceans;  and highly to very highly toxic to estuarine
                    shellfish and larvae. Levels at which acute effects begin for shellfish have
                    not been established, but are less than the analytical detection limit. Many
                    effects to aquatic organisms occur within 24 hours of exposure.

                    Ecological Effects Risk Assessment
                          DBNPA will be of moderate toxicity to terrestrial mammals and birds
                    if they are exposed orally to concentrated doses of the pesticide in situations
                    such as an accidental spill or excessive discharge of the pesticide into a static
                    pool.  Under usual circumstances, however, dietary toxicity to birds is low.
                         Without any mitigation measures, DBNPA poses a high risk to aquatic
                    organisms. To mitigate these risks, EPA is requiring secondary biological
                    treatment of waste water for all uses of DBNPA except use in waste water
                    treatment systems (since biological degradation readily occurs there,
                    anyway); in secondary oil recovery systems (where biological treatment is

-------
                         not feasible, but EPA is less concerned about this use pattern due to the
                         potential for only limited exposure); and in single flow-through cooling
                         tower systems.
                              The use of DBNPA in single flow-through cooling tower systems
                         poses an unacceptable risk to aquatic organisms.  Secondary biological
                         effluent treatment is not practical for this use; thus, the risks it poses to
                         aquatic organisms cannot be mitigated. Meanwhile, the benefits it affords
                         are low or non-existent-tile amount of DBNPA used for this purpose is
                         negligible and registered alternatives are less costly.  Therefore, the use of
                         DBNPA in single flow-through cooling tower systems is not eligible for
                         reregistration, and EPA will take appropriate regulatory action against
                         DBNPA products labeled for this use.
  Product Labeling
Changes Required
Additional Data        No additional generic data are required to support current uses of
        Reauired   DBNPA. Tne Agency is requiring product-specific data including product
                     chemistry and acute toxicity studies, revised Confidential Statements of
                     Formula (CSFs) and revised labeling for reregistration.

                          All DBNPA end-use products must comply with EPA's current
                     pesticide product labeling requirements, and with the following:


                     Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Engineering Controls, and Safety
                     Requirements
                          The minimum (baseline) PPE for handlers engaged in open pouring of
                     DBNPA into cooling towers is: long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes plus
                     socks, chemical-resistant gloves,  and a chemical-resistant apron.

                          The following labeling statements are required on all  DBNPA end-use
                     products intended primarily for occupational use:
                     Application Restrictions:
                          "Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other
                          persons, either directly or through drift.  Only protected handlers may
                          be in the area during  application."
                     Engineering Controls:
                          "When handlers use closed metering systems the handler requirements
                          may be reduced or modified to long-sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes and
                          socks. "
                     User Safety Requirements:
                          "Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE.  If
                          no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and  hot water.
                          Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. "
                     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 inside.
                      Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing."
                      "Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
                      Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible,
                      wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing."
                 Sensitization Statement:
                      Required in the "Hazards to Humans (and Domestic Animals)" section
                      of the Precautionary Statements on labeling of all  end-use products:
                      "This product may cause skin sensitization reactions in some people."
                 Type of Respirator:
                      If the acute inhalation toxicity of the end-use product is in category I
                      or II and, therefore, a respirator is required for pesticide handlers, the
                      following type of respirator is appropriate to mitigate DBNPA
                      inhalation concerns:
                      "A respirator with either an organic-vapor-removing cartridge with a
                      prefilter approved for pesticides  (MSHA/NIOSH approval number
                      prefix TC-23C), or a canister approved for pesticides (MSHA/NIOSH
                      approval  number prefix TC-14G)."
                 Effluent Discharge Labeling Statement
                      All DBNPA manufacturing-use or end-use pesticide products that may
                 be contained in an effluent discharged to the waters of the U.S. or municipal
                 sewer systems must bear the following statement:
                      "This product is toxic to fish and invertebrates.  Do not discharge
                      effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries,
                      oceans or other waters unless  in accordance with the requirements of a
                      National  Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and
                      the permitting authority has been notified  in writing prior to
                      discharge. Secondary biological treatment of DBNPA effluent is
                      required  for all  uses except for use in secondary oil recovery systems.
                      Do not discharge effluent containing this product to sewer systems
                      without previously notifying the local sewage treatment plant
                      authority. For guidance contact  your State Water Board or Regional
                      Office of the EPA."

 Regulatory        Most uses °f currently registered pesticide  products containing DBNPA
Conclusion   *n accor(kncewitn approved labeling will not pose unreasonable risks or
                 adverse effects  to humans or the environment. Therefore, most DBNPA uses
                 are eligible for  reregistration, and pertinent products will be reregistered once
                 product-specific data, revised Confidential Statements of Formula and revised
                 labeling are received and accepted by EPA.

-------
                     Because the risk to non-target organisms outweighs the potential
                benefits associated with the use of DBNPA in single flow-through cooling
                towers, this use is ineligible for reregistration. EPA will take appropriate
                regulatory action against DBNPA products labeled for this use.
