INTRODUCTION
Since 1970 when the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was given
the responsibility of regulating all aspects of pesticides, the Agency has
amassed, through the registration process, an extensive conputer data system
on most Federally registered pesticide products. The information includes
product names, manufacturers, active ingredients, tolerances for residues,
and site and pest information for particular products and active ingredients.
The field of pesticide use and regulation is a dynamic area. The development
of new pesticides, pest resistance problems, and EPA's restriction of the
use of certain pesticides require that the pesticide community keep abreast
of which pesticides are available, and which registered pesticide products
contain any given pesticidal chemical.
The Program Management & Support, and Benefits and Use Divisions of the Office
of Pesticide Programs (OPP) of EPA, recognizing the need to make this vast
store of information available to interested individuals in the pesticide
community, have developed this Pesticide Product Information on Microfiche.
It is a data system designed to assist individuals in answering a wide range
of pesticide-related questions, and to permit the pesticide community to
make use of most of OPP's computer-based information.
This manual provides the basic information and guidance needed to use these
microfiche to your advantage. Their use can save time and money in answering
most pesticide-related questions.
Some problems, however, may be too complex to answer within a reasonable
period of tine using only the microfiche. If you run into such a problem,
there are experts available to help you in the Benefits and Use Division of
the Office of Pesticide Programs. They may be contacted by phone at (703)
557-3790 or by mail:

Microfiche — Why?
Microfiche was selected for information dispersal because fiche is compact,
lightweight, inexpensive and easily updated. The individual microfiche
are strips of film about the size of a large index card. Each microfiche
card contains reduced images of up to 270 full size computer pages.
The Pesticide Product Information consists of a stack of these microfiche
"cards," which weighs only a few pounds. The same microfiche translated into
"hard copy" would produce a stack of full size computer paper many feet
high.
Suggested Methods for Handling and Storage of Microfiche
For ease of use, microfiche should be stored in a card file with suitable
index tabs or in one of the commercially available microfiche folders. The
last pages of this manual supply tabs to aid in your organized storage.
Each fiche bears a title and number in its upper margin. Sets containing
large numbers of fiche (e.g. Pesticide Label Data, Site/Pest/Chemical/
Registration number, etc.) also indicate which segment of the data is
contained on each fiche.
Microfiche Readers — Use and Availability
To use the microfiche, simply select the card you need (see Index to Microfiche
Sets) and insert the fiche into the reader. As most readers are somewhat
different, read the directions supplied with your machine to determine how
to insert the fiche.
As noted earlier, each frame on the microfiche is simply a reduction of a
computer page. Each page or frame is numbered in the upper right hand corner
of the frame and all frames on all fiche are sequenced identically. The
first frame is in the upper left hand corner and the frames run sequentially
from top to bottom and left to right. After locating the correct frame and
taking all necessary notations, remove the fiche and return it to its proper
place.
A wide variety of microfiche readers is available. Readers vary from pocket
types to large desk models with variable magnification. Microfiche reader-
printers which will provide a printed page or "hard copy" of the data are
also available.
Most libraries have microfiche readers or reader-printers available for
public use. If you are interested in purchasing a reader, consult the yellow
pages of your local telephone directory under "Microfilming Services, Equipment
and Supplies."

Accuracy and Completeness of Information
The Pesticide Product Information on microfiche does not constitute a legal
document. The data in these microfiche should not be used as the final word
when determining if a particular chemical is registered for a particular
use. This information should be for reference purposes only. Any and all
data should be verified with the source document (e.g. the registered label,
etc.) before any substantive action is taken.
Updates and Related Fiche Sets
The Pesticide Product Information on microfiche has been updated annually in
April. This is the last year EPA will generate these microfiche.
A microfilmed set of all EPA-accepted pesticide labels is also being maintained.
It is available on microfiche from the National Technical Information Service,
Springfield, Virginia, 22161. It is used as a companion document to the
Pesticide Product Information. This Compact Label File is scheduled for
update on an annual basis.
PESTICIDE PRODUCT INFORMATION
The following pages give a description of the information contained in each
of these microfiche sets. Included is the manner in which the set is organized
and what is to be found on a representative frame within the set.
Once you are familiar with the information contained in the system, you^will
see how the information from various sets can be combined to answer various
pesticide-related questions.

SET A
Product Manager Assignment
Arranged by: EPA Registration Number
The Product Manager (PM) is the individual within the Registration Division
of OPP who is responsible for registering pesticide products on a day-to-day
basis. If specific questions arise concerning a particular pesticide product,
the Product Manager for that product should be contacted.
The Product Manager for a particular product is identified in the PM Assignment
microfiche. The fiche set is arranged by registration number. First find
the registration number of the product then note the appropriate PM number.
The Product Manager can be contacted via the telephone numbers in the following
list or by mail:

Pesticide Products (NUMERICAL)
Arranged by: EPA Registration Number
This set lists the product name, status code and the registration date of
each pesticide product by its registration number.
Products currently registered in individual states are included and can be
identified by the two-letter state designation to the left of the status
code. State-registered products can be used only in that state until such
time that they become registered by the EPA.
-7-
-------
Note: The EPA registration number is composed of two sets of digits: the
six digit conpany number to the left and the five digit product number
to the right (e.g. all Shell Chemical Company products begin with
000201).
000201-00127
000201 Conpany Number
00127 Product Number
Status Codes
1A - Active Product Name
2A - Inactive Product Name

4A - Active Distributor Name
6A - Pending Product Name
Pesticide Products (ALPHABETICAL)
Arranged by: Product Name
This set lists the same data as Pesticide Products (Numerical), but in
alphabetical order by product name. If the product name is known, this
fiche set will indicate the EPA Registration Number.
Pesticide Companies (NUMERICAL)
Arrange by: Company Number
This set is arranged numerically by the six digit company number and includes
conpany names, type code, and conpany address.
Conpany Type Codes
D - Distributor
E - Establishment
M - Manufacturer
S - State
Pesticide Companies (ALPHABETICAL)
Arranged by: Conpany Name
In this set, pesticide companies are listed in alphabetical order by conpany
name. This set lists the same data as Pesticide Companies (Numerical).
-8-
-------
Chemical Cross Reference File (ALPHABETICAL AND NUMERICAL LISTINGS)
Arranged by: Chemical Name and Chemical Code
Much of OPP's pesticide data is arranged by active chemical ingredient (e.g.
the Chemical/Site Name/Pest Name/Registration Number and Chemical/Registration
Number microfiche sets discussed below). Since many chemical names are too
long to be handled easily, EPA has assigned a chemical code number to all active
ingredients. Much of the data in these sets is arranged by chemical code
and not by chemical name. In order to obtain data from the microfiche files
entitled Chemical/Site Name/Pest Name/Registration Number or Chemical/ Registration
Number, the user nust first locate the EPA chemical code for the chemical in
question.
The Chemical Cross Reference File (alphabetical) indicates the appropriate
chemical code for each chemical. The numerical listing groups accepted
chemical names, trade names, common names and synonyms for each chemical by
chemical code. If the user knows the chemical code, he can learn other
synonyms for the chemical in question.
no designation - EPA Accepted Chemical Name
C - Common Name
S - Synonym
T - Trade name
Tolerance File By Chemical
Arranged by: Chemical Name
This set lists for each chemical name and agricultural commodity, the
established tolerances expressed as PPM (parts per million), and the section
number in the Code of Federal Regulations where additional information may
be found.
Tolerance File By Cotmodity
Arranged by: Commodity Name
This set lists the same data as does the Tolerance File by Chemical, but is
listed by agricultural commodity and chemical name.
Chemical/Registration Number File
Arranged by: Chemical Code
This set lists all registered pesticide products (by registration number)
which contain a particular chemical (by chemical code). Note: This does
not mean that the particular pesticide product found contains only one ingredient.
To determine if the particular registration number in question is a mixture,
consult the Pesticide Label Data fiche set (discussed below).
—Q—
-------
Pesticide Label Data
Arranged by: Registration Number
This set lists, for each registration number, the product name, pesticide
type (e.g. insecticide and miticide), chemical active ingredients, percent
concentration of each ingredient, the status (see description under Pesticide
Products (Numerical), the Product Manager, the latest date that the label
was accepted, and the toxicity code.
Toxicity Codes
1 - Danger
2 - Warning
3 - Caution
SETT B
Site and Pest Data on Microfiche
Nine microfiche subsets are provided which contain site/pest vocabulary and
use pattern information. They are:
EPA Site Categories;
Site Names-Preferred;
EPA Pest Vocabularies;
24(c) Site Tables;
Pest Table;
Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number;
Site Name/Chemical/Registration Number;
Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number;
Chemical/Site Name/Pest Name/Registration Number;
The data in the Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number, Site Name/Chemical/
Registration Number, Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number, and
Chemical/Site Name/Pest Name/Registration Number microfiche sets were
processed using a set of special computer programs. More than half of
all registered pesticide products contain a mixture of two or more active
chemical ingredients. Without scientific knowledge of the effects of each
chemical it is frequently impossible to tell which chemical in a mixture is
actually the controlling factor for the pest identified on the label, or if
two or more of the active ingredients work together to control the pest.
To avoid misleading listings of sites and pests for individual chemicals,
pesticide chemical mixtures have their registration numbers flagged with
an asterisk. No attempt has been made, however, to indicate which chemical
or chemicals of a pesticide mixture is the controlling factor for the pest
identified on the label.
-10-
-------
EPA Site Categories
Includes: Introduction, Table of Contents, Site Categories and Site Qualifiers;
Alphabetized Agricultural Crops; Alphabetized Ornamental Plants
and Forest Trees by caramon and scientific names.
The Site Categories vocabulary organizes the sites of pesticide application
(e.g. beans, domestic dwellings) by code, to enable the interpretation and
coding of sites from pesticide labeling. This vocabulary is designed to
reflect site names organized by groups (i.e. site categories), documentation
with scientific names and/or descriptive information, and the appropriate
hierarchical code. The sites are further modified with coded site qualifiers
(e.g. foliar application, indoor use). An explanation of the coding system
can be found in its introduction.
Site Names-Preferred
Includes: Generic site terms organized numerically by code and alphabetically
by name.
The site names-preferred fiche file provides brief (one to several word)
descriptions of sites defined by the site categories document. The site
names-preferred plus the generic qualifiers (discussed below) compose the
site terms used in this year's versions of the Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/
Registration Number, Chemical/Site Name/ Pest Name/Registration Number, and
Site Name/Chemical/Registration Number data sets.
The site terms represent a generic system of site terminology. They are
being used again this year to replace the 5- and 7-^digit sites used in the
1981 Site/Pest/Chemical/ Registration Number and Chemical/Site/Pest/Regis-
tration Number microfiche sets. The sites will be intermediate in specificity
between the old 5- and 7-digit site terms. Basically, what has been done is
to group qualifier terms (position 6 and 7 of the site code) into meaningful
generic clusters. For example, there are 16 qualifier terms describing
treatment to growing crops in the field. These have all been condensed to
one generic term, "crop/site in field". Table 1 describes how these generic
qualifiers relate to the qualifiers from which they were derived. As
was mentioned earlier, all sites in this year's fiche consist of a
site name-preferred (e.g. apple) and a generic qualifier (e.g. crops/site
in field).

EPA Pest Vocabularies
Includes: Introduction, Code and/or Common Name Sequences, +_ Appendix
The six pest vocabularies include those for aquatic and terrestrial weeds;
antimicrobial pests; insects and other organisms; plant parasitic nematodes;
plant pathogens, economic fungi and related organisms; and vertebrates.
These vocabularies are designed to reflect common names of pests documented
with scientific names and their appropriate hierarchical codes. Specific
information for each vocabulary is found in its respective introduction.
24(c) Site Tables
Includes: Site Name Sequence, Site Code Sequence
The site tables reflect the actual coded sites with any descriptors and
qualifiers that have been interpreted from pesticide labeling, using the
Site Categories vocabulary as its basis. The tables also includes a sequence
code separating synonyms or subsites.
Pest Table
Includes: Pest Name Sequence, Pest Code Sequence
The pest table reflects the actual coded pests that have been interpreted
from pesticide labeling using the pest vocabularies as its basis. The table
also includes a sequence code separating synonyms.
Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number
Arranged by: Pest Name - Chemical Code - Registration Number
This set is arranged by pest name. Under each pest appear the pesticide
chemicals, in code order, registered to control the pest in question. Under
each chemical appear the registration numbers of pesticide products containing
the above pest/chemical combination. Registration numbers corresponding to
products containing more than one active ingredient are preceded by an asterisk.
Unasterisked registration numbers represent products that contain only the
subject chemical.
Care should be exercised when interpreting information from this data set.
Pest/chemical combinations containing only asterisked registration numbers
should be viewed with skepticism. In the case where all registration numbers
are asterisked, it is possible that the chemical in question is not efficacious
for a given pest; another of the chemicals in the formulation may, in fact,
be providing the control.
-16-
-------
Site Name/Chemical/Registration Number
Arranged by: Type of Pesticide - Site Name - Chemical Code - Registration
Number
This set is arranged by site name. Under each site appears the pesticide
chemicals, in code order, registered for use on the site in question. Under
each chemical appears the registration numbers of pesticide products containing
the above site/chemical combination. Registration numbers corresponding to
products containing more than one active ingredient are preceded by an asterisk.
Unasterisked registration numbers represent products that contain only the
subject chemical.
Care should be exercised when interpreting information from this data set.
Site/chemical combinations containing only asterisked registration numbers
should be viewed with skepticism. In the case where all registration numbers
are asterisked, it is possible that the chemical in question is not efficacious
for the pest group addressed by this report; another of the chemicals in the
formulation may, in fact, be providing the control.
Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number
Organization: Type of Pesticide - Site Name - Pest Name - Chemical
Code - Registration Number
This microfiche set contains five discipline-related subsets: herbicides,
algaecides and growth regulators; antimicrobials and protozoa; insecticides,
acaricides, molluscicides and antifouling compounds; fungicides and nematicides;
and rodenticides and technical grade chemicals lacking pest claims. Within
each discipline-related subset, the data are arranged by generic site names
as interpreted from pesticide labeling. Under each site term appear the
pest terms found on pesticide labeling which are associated with that site
term. Under each pest term are listed the. chemicals (in code order), singly
or in groups of two or more as they appear in the active ingredient state-
ments of pesticide products. Under each chemical appear the registration
numbers of pesticide products containing the above site^est/chemical
conbination.
The user should be warned of the potential pitfalls in the use of the generic
sites. All too often, more information than just the type of treatment is
lost in their use. Varietal types and synonymous or more specific site names
are also lost in the transition from specific site codes to generic site name.
For example, the site 64001OA - "Wood Protection Treatment to Seasoned Forest
Products" will not list the specific wood sites from pesticide labeling (e.g.

Chemical/Site Name/Pest Name/Registration Number
Organization: Type of Pesticide — Chemical Cede — Site Name —
Pest Name — Registration Number.
The five discipline-related subsets of microfiche are the same as for the
Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number set. The generic site
name level has been dramatically streamlined. In order to avoid the
complexity and confusion caused by numerous chemical combinations for a
given chemical (over 400 combinations for some chemicals), all site/pest/
registration number information for a given chemical is being listed under
one chemical code. Each chemical therefore, is listed only once, in code
order. Under each chemical appear the site terms found on pesticide
labeling, in Site Name (Supraqualified) order. Under each site term appear
the pest terms in Pest Name order. Under each pest term appear the
registration numbers of pesticide products containing the above chemical/site/
pest combination. Registration numbers corresponding to products containing
more than one active ingredient are preceded by an asterisk. Unasterisked
registration numbers represent products that contain only the subject chemical.
Care should be exercised when interpreting information from this data set,
and chemical/site/pest combinations containing only asterisked registration
numbers should be viewed with skepticism. In the case where all registration
numbers are asterisked, it is possible that the chemical in question is not
efficacious for a given site/pest combination; another of the chemicals in
the formulation may, in fact, be providing the control.
Because each chemical is only listed once in ascending chemical order at the
site name level, a chemical index to this level is not needed.
Chemicals Omitted from Site/Pest Microfiche
The following list (by chemical code) of active ingredients has been suppressed
from the microfiche sets because of their being petroleum oils or solvents.
Had these chemicals been included, the microfiche sets would have been much
larger and much more complex.
006501 Aromatic petroleum derivative solvent
006601 Aromatic petroleum distillate, oil, solvent or
hydrocarbons
006602 Heavy aromatic naphtha
054002 Methylated naphthalenes
063501 Kerosene
063502 Mineral oil, mineral seal oil or white mineral oil
063503 Petroleum distillate, oils, solvent, or hydrocarbons;
also paraffinic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons,
paraffinic oil
086802 Xylene

24(c) Applications
The 24(c) applications are not included in this year's fiche set. EPA is
in the process of removing the expired permits from the file.
Quick Reference Guide to Fiche and Sample Questions
The following 2-page chart acts as a quick cross reference guide to oe usea
in answering your pesticide-related questions. The column headers are self-
explanatory and the user should work from left to right.
The sample questions will lead you through the various steps involved in

SAMPLE QUESTIONS
A. What chemicals are used to control mosquitoes in the larval stage? Wiat
are the registration numbers of the products containing these chemicals?
Step 1. Use the Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number fiche. Under the
pest name MOSQUITOES (LARVAE) you will find the chemicals and the
registration numbers of the products registered for the control of
mosquito larvae. Keep in mind that the asterisked registration
numbers contain other active ingredients as well as the chemical
listed.

C. Vfoat chemicals are registered for use on swamps, marshes, bogs, and standing
water to control adult mosquitoes?
Step 1. Use the Site Name/Pest Name/Chemical/Registration Number fiche for
insecticides. Locate site name swamps, marshes, bogs, and standing water
(permanent) and then pest name mosquitoes (adult). The chemicals registered
for this use will be listed in chemical code order, first listing the single
active ingredient products and then those products that are chemical mixtures.

Filing of the Microfiche
The following 38 cut-out tabs are attached to facilitate the filing of your
fiche sets. Because of the predetermined dimensions of the fiche, it is
suggested that you use 4x6 inch file cards (arranged vertically); attach the
tabs with rubber cement to the top (narrow) edge of each card.
Each tab is titled to reflect the fiche set(s) that follow it. It is
reconroended that the envelopes used to package the fiche be discarded as the
fiche are removed and filed. Each set of fiche will have its title atop each
fiche page. It is recommended that the file arrangement parallel that used in
the listing on pages 5-7.
A variation on this filing system might group all of the site/chemical/
registration number, site/pest/chemical/registration number, and chemical/
site/pest/registration number fiche by the various disciplines (e.g. herbicide
site name/chemical/registration number followed by herbicide site name/pest
name/chemical/registration number followed by herbicide chemical/site name/
pest name/registration number).
