Suspension,
Cancellation and Restriction List
 Prepared by the
 Compliance Monitoring Staff,
 Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances

 This booklet has been compiled for the purpose of
 summarizing and clarifying Agency actions on those
 pesticides and devices which have been suspended,
 cancelled, or otherwise restricted.* It excludes
 cancellations on those pesticide use patterns that
 were cancelled by Pesticide Regulation Notices
 based on "residue," "no residues," and "zero
 tolerances," as well as notices of cancellations to
 single registrants.

 Pesticides which have been voluntarily cancelled by
 some but not all registrants, and have not met or
 exceeded "risk criteria" established by the:
 Registration Division are also excluded.

 This list is not  a statement of Agency policy, but is
 primarily designed  as a quick reference guide to be
 used by Regional EPA inspectors. However, the list
 can also serve as a general reference for anyone
 involved or interested in pesticde regulatory work.

 Material for this edition of the booklet was compiled
 as of June  1984. This is the fourth edition of this
 publication. Future Agency actions will necessitate
 updating and republishing  this booklet, and this will
 continue to be done periodically.

 Comments on  the  accuracy and completeness  of
 this list should be sent to:

 Toxic Substances Compliance

 *The term "restricted pesticides" as used in this publication refers to
pesticide uses which have been limited or "restricted" by the Agency to
require a label change such as "do not apply this pesticide within 25 ft. of
any body of water." This term is not to be confused with pesticides whose
uses have been restricted under §3(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to the application by or under the direct
supervision of a certified applicator.

Pesticide/
Use Affected

Aldrin
Amftraz
Action


Cancelled, all uses except those in the following list:
1. subsurface ground insertion for termite control.
2. dipping of non-food roots and tops.
3. moth-proofing by manufacturing processes in a closed
system.
1.  Conditional registration of amitraz for use on pears if the
following requirements are fulfilled.*

a.  Amitraz must be initially classified for restricted use on
    pears and labeled as follows:
    "Restricted Use Pesticide. For retail sale to and use only
    by certified applicators or persons under their direct
    supervision and only for those uses covered by the
    certified applicator's certification.

    General Precautions
    1)  Avoid getting in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
    2)  Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist.
    3)  In case of contact with skin, wash  as soon as possible
    •with soap and plenty of water.
    4)  If amitraz gets on clothing, remove contaminated
    clothing and wash affected parts of body with soap and
    water. If the extent of contamination is unknown, bathe
    entire body thoroughly. Change to clean clothing.
    5)  Wash hands with soap and water each time before
    eating, drinking, or smoking.
    6)  At the end of the work day, bathe entire body with
    soap and plenty of water.
    7)  Wear clean clothes each day and launder before
    reusing.
    Required clothing and equipment for mixing, loading, and
    cleanup procedures:
    1)  Long-sleeve shirt (fine weave).
    2)  Long pants (fine weave).
    3)  Rubber gloves.
    4)  Apron (only during cleanup).
    5)  Boots.
    Required clothing for ground spray application.
    1)  Long-sleeve shirt (fine weave).
    2)  Long pants (fine weave).
    3)  Rubber gloves.
    4)  Boots.
    Reentry Interval:   Reentry into treated  areas is prohibited
    until the leaves are  completely dry, and in any event, until
    at least 24 hours after application.
                *ln 1979 amitraz was conditionally registered for use on pears for four
                years. The registrant did submit the necessary benefits data and results
                of an oncogenic bioassay of amitraz in mice. Conditional registration of
                amitraz for use on pears has been extended to September 1984 while
                the Agency reviews the data.

    following information:
    1)  Repeat a mouse  oncogenic bioassay conducted in
    accordance with protocols approved by the Agency.
    2)  Additional economic benefits data.
    3)  Annual reports of progress and available test results.

2.  Denial of application for registration of amitraz for use  on
apples.
In excess of 1.5%, labeling which bears directions for home
use is unacceptable, and  a warning against home use is
required. The following  statements must appear in a
prominent position:
"Do not use or store in or around the home" and
"Do not allow domestic animals to graze treated area."
Cancellations  of registration and denial  of future applications for 47 FR 45747.
registrations of benomyl products for uses allowing aerial
application unless the conditions of registration are changed to
include the  following warning on the labels of  products
packaged in 5-pound or larger packages which do not prohibit
aerial application:
"Harmful if  inhaled. Wear a cloth or disposable paper dust
mask during handling and mixing."

All registered  products have been eliminated.  In some
instances these products  were voluntarily cancelled, in others
lindane was substituted for BHC non-gamma isomers. These
non-gamma isomers may not be sold, manufactured or
distributed for use in the  United States.
Cancelled, products intended  for:
1. direct contact with the skin or can be expected to be in
direct or continuous contact with the skin.
2. use in textiles or other materials likely to come in contact
with the skin.
3. household  use.
Voluntary cancellation, all  products

Under the provisions of the Administrator's acceptance of  the
settlement plan to phase  out  certain  uses of the pesticides
chlordane and heptachlor, most registered products containing
chlordane were effectively cancelled  or their applications for
registration denied by December 31,  1980. A summary of
those uses not affected by this settlement, or a previous
suspension  follows:
1. subsurface ground insertion for termite control (clarified by
40 FR 30522,  July 21,  1975, to apply to the use of
emulsifiable or oil  concentrate formulations for controlling
subterranean termites on structural sites such as buildings,
houses, barns, and sheds, using current control practices).
2. dipping of roots or tops of nonfood plants.
Cancellation and denial  of registrations of chlorobenzilate
products for uses other than citrus uses in Florida, Texas,
Califbrina, and Arizona.  Notwithstanding the above,
registration  of chlorobenzilate products for citrus use in these
four states will also be  cancelled or denied unless registrants
or applicants for new registrations modify the terms or
conditions of registration  as follows:

                                                                          April 10, 1984
            *Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), a
            cancellation does not become final if an individual or company which would
            be adversely affected by such action requests a hearing to contest it. One
            registrant (Great Lakes Chemical Company) and several users (Florida
            Department of Citrus, Florida Citrus Mutual, Florida Citrus Packers, the
            Indian River Citrus League, Texas Citrus Mutual, the California Citrus Quality
            Council, and Hawaii Papaya Industry Association) contested cancellation of
            EDB in the quarantine fumigation of produce for use within the United
            States. Other companies have contested the cancellation of EDB-containing
            products for use in felled log fumigation. Regulation of the use of these
            products in domestic quarantine fumigation and felled log fumigation will
            not be final until the hearings are resolved.

Use Affected	

            g.   Structural Requirements: Supers and honeycombs must
                be placed in a gas-tight room or under a gas-tight
                covering such as a polyethylene tarpaulin held down with
                sand-filled "snakes." If the treatment is performed in a
                building,  all windows, doors, and vents must be sealed.
                All persons not involved  with the fumigation must be
                vacated from the building. If a tarpaulin is used, it must be
                completely aired for at least 24 hours before re-use.
            h.   Required Protection During Aeration: Following the
                treatment period, a full-face, black canister respirator
                approved by MSHA/OSHA must be worn when  reentering
                during the 24 hours following treatment. All doors,
                windows and vents in the structure must be opened at
                this time. Aeration of the building and beehive supers or
                honeycombs for 24 hours is required before reentry is
                permitted. During fumigation and aeration, warning signs
                must be  posted which contain these reentry restrictions.
            i.   Application Restriction: Treatments must be applied solely
                to clean supers or honeycombs mounted in frames in
                storage.
            j.   Structural Requirements: Vault fumigation with EDB
                formulations may be conducted only by certified
                commercial applicators in commercial fumigation vaults.
                Before fumigation, all doors and leaks in the vault must be
                sealed.
            k*  Aeration Requirements:  Following the  treatment period, a
                full-face, black canister respirator approved by
                MSHA/OSHA for EDB must be worn during reentry. All
                doors and vents in the treatment area and connected
                buildings must be opened at this time. Before workers
                may reenter the vault without a respirator, the vault must
                be aerated to reduce EDB air levels to the OSHA
                workplace standard. Warning signs must be posted
                stating these restrictions during fumigation and  aeration.
            I.   Disposal Requirement: The pesticide spray mixture, rinse
                water, or excess treatment material that cannot be used
                must be disposed of according to the procedures
                established under Subchapter III of the Resource
                Conservation and Recovery Act.
            m.  Application and Aeration Restrictions: Treated sod,
                potting and bench soil, and  soil for beds and other uses
                must be covered with heavy plastic sheeting or an
                impervious tarp during the treatment period to ensure an
                efficacious treatment and to minimize air exposures. The
                tarp  or sheeting must be completely aired for at least 24
                hours before re-use.
            n.   Pests for Which This Product May be Applied: Materials
                may be treated with EDB to control Japanese beetles only
                when beetle larvae and pupae are present.
            o.   Pests for Which This Product May Be Applied: The
                registration must be limited to use on fresh citrus fruit
                and papaya for quarantine control  of fruit flies and must
                otherwise conform to the Agency's ordinary requirements
                for labeling as to dose, application directions, toxicity
                warnings, and related matters.
            p.   Deadline for Treatment of U.S.  Produce: Treatment after
                September 1, 1984, of fresh citrus fruit or papaya for
                United States consumption  must be expressly prohibited.

            q.  Seasonal Restriction: After September 1,  1984, citrus fruit
                for export outside the territorial United States may be
                treated only during the rponths of October, November,
                December, and January/ The label may state that
                treatment of/citrus fruit for export in any other month is
                permitted or/ly after a written determination by the U.S.
                Environmental Protection Agency that a significant fruit fly
                outbreak,has resulted in quarantine requirements for
                exported fruit which cannot be met by appropriate
                alternative quarantine treatments and that treatment with
                EDB for such purposes will not cause unreasonable
                adverse effects on the environment.
            r.   Worker Restriction: Fumigation may be conducted only by
                a certified applicator, and fumigation operations may be
                conducted only under the supervision  of an authorized
                employee of a state or the United States government.
            s.  Required Protection for Workers: All persons actively
                engaged in the application or handling of EDB or in the
                cleanup of any EDB spills must wear  self-contained
                breathing apparatus (SCBA) respirators approved by
                MSHA/NIOSH, and EDB-resistant gloves (butyl rubber
                only) and boot covers and apron (made of butyl rubber,
                nitrile, or polyethylene). All persons entering the
                fumigation chambers for any purpose within 24 hours
                following application must wear SCBA respirators
                approved by MSHA/NIOSH.
            t.   Structural Requirements: Fumigation chambers must have
                ventilation stacks which extend at least 30 feet above the
                rooftop of each fumigation chamber.
            u.  Aeration Requirements: When fumigated fruits are
                shipped by truck directly from the fumigation chambers
                without interim  storage at the site of  fumigation, trucks
                must be aerated in transit to warehouse storage or
                loading areas.
            v.  Disposal Requirements: Disposal of unused pesticide
                products containing EDB must be in accordance with the
                requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
                Act and the regulations implementing it, and quantities
                exempted from  those disposal requirements by virtue  of
                small volume or the "farmer exemption" must be
                disposed of in an approved landfill or  incinerator.
