CERTIFIED  MAIL
Subject;   initiation of Reregistration Process  for Manufacturing-
           Use Products and Formulation-Use Products Containing
           Thiram as the Single Active Ingredient

Dear Registrant:

     In accordance with the Federal  Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA's Office of
Pesticide  Programs has begun the reregistration process for
pesticide  products containing the subject active ingredient.
Significant changes to the statute were made in 1972, 1975,
and 1978;  thus, current requirements may be substantially
different  from those in effect at the time your product(s)
were registered.  The first phase of reregistration requires
that you (1) make a commitment to the Agency regarding data
development, and (2) subsequently submit revised product
labeling and associated information.

     This mailing contains the Guidance Document for prepara-
tion of submissions, as well as a listing of your affected
product(s)  (Attachment A), and a separate list of registrants
with products subject to this manufacturing-use standard and
which contain this active ingredient (Attachment B).  The
latter list is for the purpose of cooperative data development.

     The Guidance Document sets out the Agency's evaluation
of all available data pertaining to the subject chemical and
its registered uses, and its rationale for the regulatory
actions being taken at this time.   Additionally, the Guidance
Document contains instructions describing certain of the

-------
                             -2-

steps you must take to maintain registration for your
product(s).  Products not brought into compliance with the
Guidance Document as supplemented by subsequent information
from EPA about compliance with certain data support requirements
will be subject to suspension and/or cancellation.

     Specifically, the enclosed Guidance Document does the
following:

     1.  Introduces the purpose of this document.

     2.  Explains the Agency's policy regarding data submis-
         sion and identifies, in table format, the data that
         must be submitted to complete the Agency's evaluation
         of each product.  In addition, a bibliography identifying
         the data which are considered part of the data base
         supporting the registration standard is  included.

     3.  Sets out time-frames for submission of required
         data.

     4.  Explains how to revise labeling for manufacturing-
          use products.  (As the Guidance Document explains,
          labeling is not required at this time.)

     5.  Provides submission instructions.

     Because of the variety and complexity of the requirements,
and  the  short statutory time-frames available for certain
actions,  it is essential that you understand the  specific
requirements and procedures in order that you may respond  in
correct  and timely manner.  Since a part of these requirements
is under Section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA, your first  response  may
be required within 90 days  from receipt of this  letter.
Please note that if you do  not respond or do not  comply fully
with the requirements, your application may be  rejected or
your product  registration cancelled or suspended.

     If,  after reviewing this material, you do  not  understand
what you must do or how or  when you must respond, please
contact  the Product Manager listed below who will assist you
in every reasonable way.  If you wish  to discuss  the  data
requirements  or  request that certain data be waived,  you must
write  to the Agency and indicate those data requirements with
which  you  take issue  and your rationale for doing so.  After
the  Agency has had a  chance to  review  your submission, the
Product  Manager  will  contact you to  set up a  meeting for the
purpose  of resolving  all issues  relative to data requirements.

-------
                             -3-

     Please note that  this  guidance  document will eventually
be supplemented by EPA with additional  information about
compliance with data support requirements.  In Monsanto v.
Administrator,  EPA was enjoined by the  District Court for
the Eastern District of Missouri  from implementing in any way
the "mandatory  data licensing" aspects  of §3(c)(l)(D) of
FIFRA.  EPA has appealled this decision to  the U.S. Supreme Court.
Because of this unresolved  situation, EPA has decided to proceed
with the requirements  in this guidance  package which do not
relate to the "data licensing" issue and to supplement the package
with additional guidance when circumstances permit.

     If you have any question concerning this Guidance Document,
you may contact the Product Manager  listed  below:

3.  Scientific Findings

    Chemical Characteristics:

        Physical State:  Powder (Micronilled)
        Color:           Cream to White
        Odor:
        Boiling Point:   Not Applicable
        Melting Point:   Range 155-156°C
        Flash Point:     > 300° F

Toxicity Characteristics;

    All toxicological  data reviewed by the Agency were found to be lacking
in  information for evaluation, such as identification of compound tested,
dose  response  information, individual animal  information, pathology reports,
etc.

Physiological  and Biochemical Behavioral Characteristics:

    Foliar Absorption:  The  available data do not provide direct evidence
             that thiram is or  is not absorbed by roots or aerial portions of
             plants.

    Translocation:   There  is inadequate data  to conclude that  thiram  is
             translocated  in  plant  tissue, but indirect evidence exists to
             indicate thiram  or a degradate of thiram may enter plant  tissue.

    Mechanism of Pesticidal  Action:  Not  understood as a fungicide.   As  a
         repellant  to rodents.

    Metabolism and Persistence in  Plants  and  Animals:  The  metabolism of
         thiram in plants  and animals  is not adequately understood.

Environmental  Characteristics;

    Adsorption and Leaching  in Basic Soil Types:  Inadequate data.

    Microbial  Breakdown:   Inadequate data.

    Loss  from  Photodecomposition and/or Volatilization:  No data.

    Bioaccumulation:   No data.

    Resultant  Average Persistence:  No data.

Ecological Characteristics;

    Hazards to fish  and wildlife

         Rainbow  trout     96-hr LC5o  = 0.130
         Bluegill sunfish   96-hr 1X50  = 0.044

                                     -3-

          (Characterized as  "very  highly  toxic"  to both cold water and warm
          water  fish.)

   Thiram is  "noderately  toxic" to birds.   There is insufficient  information
   to fully characterize  the  toxicity of thiram to mammals.   Generally,  the
   subcutaneous  toxicity  is "high," the  acute oral toxicity  is  slight to
   "moderate," and  in some  species (mouse)  "practically non-toxic."   Thiram
   is characterized as "relatively non-toxic" to honeybees and  predaceous
   ladybird beetles.

   Potential  problems Related to  Endangered Species:

        Additional data  (estimated environmental concentrations, persistence,
        avian  reproduction studies, accumulation) are required to  complete
        the endangered species assessment for thiram.

Efficacy Review Results:

    No efficacy reviews were made.

Tolerance Assessments:

   1.  List of Crops and Tolerances:

    The following table lists the present status for tolerances in parts per
million for residues of thiram:

    pulp after peel is removed and discarded.

b.  A temporary Codex MRL for the residues of dithiocarbamates  (of which
    thiram is a member) expressed n terms of mg CS2Ag/ has been established.

c.  Temporary Codex MRLs of 1 and 0.1 ppm have been established for total
    dithiocarbamates residues (including thiram expressed as ppm CS2) in or
    on whole bananas and banana pulp, respectively.

-------
                                     -4-

    2.   Seed Applications:

    No  tolerances have been established for thiram residues in or on any crop
for which thiram is registered solely for seed treatment, because heretofore
seed treatment uses have been considered to be nonfood uses.  These crops
include: barley, beans (dry and succulent), lima beans, beets, broccoli,
brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, castor bean, cauliflower,
collards, corn  (sweet and field), cotton, cowpeas, cucumber, eggplant, endive,
flax, forage-fodder grasses, kale, kohlrabi, lentils, lettuce, millet,
muskmelons, mustard, oats, okra, onion, peanuts, peppers, pumpkins, radish,
rice, rye, safflower, sesame, small-seeded legumes, sorghum, soybeans, spinach,
sugar beets, sunflower, swiss chard, tomato, turnips, watermelon, and wheat.

Results of Tolerance Assessment:

    Insufficient data are available to assess  the adequacy of the tolerance
for thiram in or on all thiram-treated commodities having such tolerances:
apples, bananas, celery, onions  (dry bulb), peaches, strawberries, and tomatoes
 (40 CFR 180.132).  Note that either green onions must be deleted from thiram
labels  or residue  data and a tolerance proposal must be submitted.  Also note
that the  in-furrow treatment for cotton must either be removed from thiram
labels  or residue  data and tolerance proposals must be submitted for  forage,
seed, and processed products.   In addition, many seed treatment uses are
registered  for  thiram on crops  not having  tolerances for thiram; the continued
"nonfood" classification of these uses  is contingent upon the receipt of
plant metabolism studies demonstrating  that thiram residues of concern are
not  translocated into food/feed crops grown from thiram-treated seed.  If
residues  of  concern are translocated, then residue data and tolerance proposals
must be submitted  for all of these crops  (or at least all of  the representative
commodity members  of  each  involved crop  group).  Finally, tolerances  for
thiram  animal products have not been established; if the requested animal
metabolism  studies reveal  that  thiram residues of concern are transferred  to
animals,  then animal  residue data  (feeding studies) and appropriate tolerance
proposals will  be  required for  ruminants and poultry.  It  is  imperative  that
the metabolism  of  thiram in plants and  animals be elucidated, since many of
the above-noted data  gaps are dependent  upon the outcome of the metabolism
studies.  Refer to the appropriate preceding sections  for details of  data
gaps.   The data are insufficient to allow  the  establishment of any crop  group
tolerances.

    No  ADI has  been established for thiram.  The TMRC  is 0.7380 mg/day  based
on a 1.5  kg  diet and  the relevant tolerances  (40 CFR 180.132) and  food  factors.

Problems  that are  Known to Have Occurred with  Use of the Chemical.

    Two workers exposure effects have been identified:

     1.   Illness in pine seedling planters  and  handlers resulting from handling
         thiram-treated pine seedlings without  protective clothing  (the  illness
         resulted from the ingestion of  alcohol after such  an  exposure).

         Note:   Thiram is the methyl analog of  Antabuse, bis-(diethylthiocarbomyl
         sulfide),  a drug used in rehabilitating alcoholics.

-------
                                     -5-

    2.   Skin rashes of the hands and head resulting frcm exposure to thiram in
        handling thiram-treated pine seedlings.

    These health effects have been reduced by restrictions that require workers
to wear gloves and protective clothing when handling thiram products.

4.  Summary of Regulatory Position and Rationale

    Based on historical use experience (human health effects reports) and the
benefits from the pesticidal uses, the Agency has determined to allow the
registration of thiram opducts to continue for existing use-patterns until
the hazards are better^defined by the data requirements under the Thiram
Registration Standard.

                                 INTRODUCTION

     The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA
Section 3(g)) directs EPA to reregister all pesticides as expeditiously as
possible.  Each registrant of a manufacturing use product of the active
ingredient must apply for reregistration.

     To fulfill this congressional mandate, EPA has established the Registration
Standards program which will review all pesticide active ingredients first
registered before January 1, 1977.  These pesticides will be reviewed in use
clusters which are prioritized on the basis of a ranking scheme giving
preference to pesticides used on food and feed crops.

     The Registration Standards program involves a thorough review of the
scientific data base underlying pesticide registrations and an identification
of essential but missing studies which may not have been required when the
product was initially registered or studies that are now considered insufficient.
Our reassessment results in the development of a regulatory position, contained
in this document, on each pesticide and its use.  The regulatory position may
require the registrant to modify product labels to provide additional
precautionary statements, restrict the use of the pesticide to certified
applicators, provide reentry intervals, modify uses or formulation types,
specify certain packaging limitations, or other requirements to assure that
proper use of the pesticide poses no potential adverse effects to human
health or the environment.

     The scientific review, which is not contained herein but is available
upon request, concentrates on the technical grade of the active inredient
and identifies missing generic data.  However, during the review of these
data we are also looking for potential hazards that may be associated with
the formulated (end-use) products that contain the active ingredient.  If we
find serious concerns, we will bring formulated products under the provisions
of the Registration Standards program to the extent necessary to protect
the public.

     EPA has the authority under FIFRA §3(c)(2)(B) to require that certain
registrants submit data that will answer our questions regarding the hazard
that may result from the intended use of the pesticide under review.  Further,
§3(c)(2)(D)].  Normally, this means that the registrants who are responsible
for filling the data gaps are the manufacturing-use product producers (basic

-------
suppliers of the active ingredient).  However, end-use producers will not
qualify for the formulator's exemption if the source of their active ingredient:
(1) is not registered with EPA, and/or (2) is produced by the registrant's firm,
or a firm which has ownership in cannon with the registrant's firm, or their
source does not take necessary steps to ccmply with the data production
requirements.  These end-use producers can qualify for the formulator's
exemption if they change their source of supply to a registered source,
in compliance with the data production requirements, provided the source
does not share ownership in cannon with the registrant's firm.  If the end-
use product registrant decides to switch sources, a new Confidential Statement of
Formula, EPA Form 8570-4, must be submitted to the appropriate Product Manager
within 90 days of receipt of this Guidance Document.  The chart on the
following page shows what is generally required of those who do and do not
qualify for the formulator's exemption in the Registration Standards program.

     If you decide to request the Agency to discontinue the registration of
any of your products subject to the reregistration requirements of this
Guidance Document please notify the Product Manager named in the cover
letter, within 90 days frcm the receipt of this document, that you wish to
voluntarily cancel the registration(s).  If you decide to maintain your
product registration(s), you must provide the information described in the
following pages within the time frames outlined.  EPA will issue a notice of
intent to cancel or suspend the registrations of any currently registered
product if you fail to ccmply with the requirements set forth in this Guidance
Document.

     This Guidance Document will be supplemented by EPA with additional
information about compliance with data support requirements.  In Monsanto
v.  Adminstrator, EPA was enjoined from  implementing  in any way the "mandatory
data licensing" aspects of §3(c)(l)(D) of FIFRA.  EPA has appealed this
decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Because  this situation is currently
unresolved, EPA has decided to proceed with the requirements in this Guidance
Document which do not relate to compliance with the §3(c)(l)(D) provisions
and to supplement the Document with additional guidance when circumstances
permit.  Failure to ccmply with the provisions of the subsequent guidance
will also result in issuance by EPA of an intent to cancel the affected
product registration(s).

     Registrants are reminded  that §6(a) (2) of FIFRA requires you  at any
time to submit factual  information raising concerns of possible adverse
effects of a pesticide.  You should notify the Agency of  interim results of
studies in progress if  those results  show possible adverse effects

            I.   REGULATORY POSITION AND RATIONALE
A.  INTRODUCTION

     This Registration Standard describes the regulatory
position of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on
bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyl)disulfide (thiram), based on an
evaluation of all registered manufacturing-use products
(MUP's), formulation-use products  (FUP's), and certain end-use
products containing thiram as the  sole ingredient.  Labeling
requirements, tolerances, special  local needs registrations
authorized by Section 24c of the FIFRA, as well as registrations
under Section 3 of FIFRA were considered in  this analysis.
The Agency sets forth the data requirements  that must be met
to register or reregister products covered by this Standard.

     This Standard addresses registration requirements for
current and future MPs.  Thiram MPs that differ appreciably
from those described here may require amendments to this
Standard.  Also, use-patterns that differ from those described
here may also require amendments to this Standard.

B.  USE PROFILE

     Thiram is the acceptable common name for bis
(dimethylthiocarbamoyl)disulfide and is recognized by the
American National Standards Institute.  Trade names and other
names for thiram are AAtak, Arasan, Delsan,  Mercuram, Nomersan,
Polyram-Alltra, Pomarsol, Spatrete, Tersan,  Thimer, Thiramad,
Thirasan, Thiuramin, Trametan, Triampa, Tripomol, Tuads, Vancide,
Tetramithylthiuram disulfide, TM-95, TMTD, and TMTDS.

     There are ten (10)  "manufacturing-use"  and/or "for-
mulation use" thiram products that may be used  in the manufac-
ture of another end-use  pesticide  product which bears labeling
that  identifies thiram as one of the active  ingredients. The
percent thiram  in these  products range from  65 to 99.45.
The Office of Pesticide  Programs Internal Control Number
 (EPA Shaughnessy Number) for thiram  is 079801-7, and its CAS
Number  is  137-26-8.

-------
     Thiram has the following identifying characteristics:

          Empirical Formula:   CeH12N2s4
          Molecular Weight:    240.4
          Structural Formula:           S     S
                                         I     I
                               (CH3)2-N-C-S-S-C-N-(CH3)2

     Thiram is a broad spectrum fungicide that has registered
uses for control of diseases of fruits, vegetables,  and
ornamentals (including turf) for seed rot and seedling diseases
of vegetables and field crops (as a seed treatment), for post-
harvest diseases of bananas  (as a fruit dip or spray), for
diseases of sweet potatoes,  tree seedlings, plant cuttings
and ornamental bulbs (as a seedling or propagule treatment),
to control diseases of onions (as a soil treatment), for
mold and mildew control in textiles and polyurethane (as a
spray or additive), for slime control in the manufacture of
paper, and for repelling animals from various application
sites.

     Thiram is formulated  into dusts, granules,  liquid
concentrates, pastes, wettable powders and flowable suspen-
pesnsions.  Thiram  is also  formulated  in combination with
a variety  of  insecticides.

     The major use  of thiram is  in  rubber processing as  an
accelerator and vulcanizer.   It  has also been  used  as a
bacteriostat  in soap.

C.   REGULATORY POSITION

      Based on a review and evaluation  of all  available  data
and other  relevant  information  on  thiram,  the  Agency has made
the following determinations:

      1.   Manufacturing-use pesticide products  containing
          thiram as  a  sole  active ingredient may be  registered
          for  sale,  distribution, formulation  and use  in the
          United States,  subject to the terms  and conditions
          specified in this standard.   Applicants having
          products  not conforming to this standard must  apply
          to amend  the document  so those products containing
          thiram may be  registered and  reregistered.  Mixtures
          and end-use products containing thiram may not be
          registered or  reregistered under  this standard.
          However,  the use patterns of  the  end-use products  were
          considered for purposes of determining generic data
          requirements for thiram.

-------
   2.   Available data do not show that any of the risk
       criteria listed in Section 162.11(a) of Title 40 of
       the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations have been met
       or exceeded for the uses of thiram specified in this
       standard.

   3.   Registrants must provide or agree to develop additional
       data,  as specified in the tables attached to this
       standard, in order to maintain existing registrations
       or to  permit new thiram registrations.

   4.   Under  this standard precautionary labeling of all products
       must be revised as stated under Required Labeling.  In addition
       all end-use products intended for crop use, except seed,
       seed piece and plant propagule treatments must bear labeling
       restrictions for crop rotation and for reentering treated areas,

   5.   Limited data are available to identify the movement and fate
       of thiram in soils.  Because this data indicate a potential
       for ground water contamination, the Agency is requiring data
       needed to assess this potential (see Table A, Environmental
       Chemistry Data).

D.  REGULATORY RATIONALE

   1.   Based  on historical use experience  (human health effects
 reports) and the benefits from the pesticidal uses, the Agency
 has determined that it should allow the registration of thiram
 products to  continue for existing use-patterns until the risk
 of hazards are better defined by the data requirements
 specified in Table A and B of this document.  Regulatory
 action may be needed when the risk of hazards has been identified.

   2.   Two worker exposure effects have been identified:

       a.  Illness in pine-seedling planters and handlers
           resulting from handling thiram-treated pine seedlings
           without protective clothing (the  illness results
           from the ingestion of alcohol after such an exposure).

           Note:  Thiram  is the methyl analog of Antabuse, bis-
           (diethylthiocarbomyl sulfide), a drug used in rehabili-
           tating alcoholics.

       b.  Skin rashes of the hands and head resulting from
           exposure to thiram in handling thiram-treated pine
           seedlings.

       These health effects have been reduced by label precautions
       and will be reduced further by label precautions under this
       Standard that require workers to wear gloves and protective
       clothing when handling thiram treated products.

-------
     3.   As all of the required toxicology data to support the
uses of  thiram MUP and FUP products have never been submitted
or were  submitted and are presently considered to be inadequate
to support established registrations and tolerances,
regulatory actions regarding the tolerances must await the
receipt  of these data.  Section 180.132 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 40, Parts 150 to 189 lists the tolerances
for thiram.

     4.  The registered seed treatment uses of thiram have been
considered non-food or non-feed uses.  A review of the residue
chemistry data available  indicated that the data were inadequate
to support the seed,  seed-piece and other plant propagule
treatment uses as non-food or non-feed uses.  Data requirements
to support these uses are listed in Table A and B.

     5.  The Agency has a  concern for ground water contamination
because preliminary data  indicate that thiram is very mobile in
silty clay loam  soil  and  has a half-life of 4 to 5 weeks  in
neutral soil.  Under  this Standard, data are required on  an
accelerated basis to  determine this potential risk of hazard.

     6. Thiram meets  the  criteria of 40 CFR, Section  158.140.
Therefore  an  interim  24-hour reentry interval has been applied
until the  receipt and evaluation of reentry data specified  in
Table A, Section 158.130, Subpart K, Re-entry.

     7. It  is  not the Agency's policy  to cancel or  to withhold
registration merely because data are missing or  inadequate
 (See Sections  3(c)(2)(B)  and 3(c)(7) of  FIFRA).  Rather,
publication of  this  standard provides  a mechanism  for identify-
 ing data needs  and  registration  under  the  standard  allows for
 the upgrading  of labels  during  the  period  in which  the required
data are being  developed.   These data  will  be  reviewed and  evaluated
when they  are received  and  the  Agency  will  determine  at  that
 time whether  they will  affect  the  registration(s)  of  thiram products.

 E.   CRITERIA  FOR REGISTRATION  UNDER THIS STANDARD

     All  products that  contain thiram  as  the  sole  active
 ingredient are subject  to this standard and must either  comply
 with  the  acute toxicity limits,  product composition,  and use
 patterns  requirements listed  in Section F  of  this  document
 or submit  data and  a justification to  amend the  standard to
 encompass such products.

      The applicant for registration of reregistration of
 products subject to this standard must comply with all terms
 and conditions described in it,  including  committing  to  fill
 data gaps on schedule.   Applicants for registration under
 this standard must followthe instructions  contained in this
 guidance package and complete and submit the appropriate
 forms within the time specified.

-------
F.  ACCEPTABLE RANGES AND LIMITS

     1.   Product Composition Standard

         Technical grade products must contain at least 97.0 percent
         thiram as the sole active ingredient.  Each manufacturing-
         use product must be fully described with an appropriate
         certification of limits.  In addition, the active ingredient
         found in the manufacturing-use thiram products must be sub-
         stantially similar to that in currently registered technical
         products.  Any manufacturing-use product not meeting these
         requirements will be considered a new product and will require
         an amendment to the standard.

     2.   Acute Toxicity Limits

         The Agency will consider registration of technical grade and
         manufacturing-use products containing thiram for acute
         toxicity category II, provided that the labeling of those
         products bear appropriate precautionary statements.

     3.   Use Patterns

         To be registered under this standard, manufacturing-use
         products containing thiram may be labeled for formulation only
         into end-use products for use as a fungicide for foliar
         applications to fruits, vegetables and ornamentals (including
         turf), and as a seed treatment for vegetable and field crops;
         as a post-harvest treatment of bananas; as a pre-planting
         dip for sweet potatoes, tree seedlings, cuttings, and orna-
         mental bulbs; as a soil treatment for onions; as a treatment
         in manufacture of paper, textiles, and polyurethane; and as
         an animal repellent.

G.  REQUIRED LABELING

     All technical grade and manufacturing-use products containing
thiram must bear appropriate labeling as specified below and in 40 CFR
162.10.   Other portions of this guidance package contain specific
information regarding labeling requirements.

     Precautionary statements to be used on labeling of thiram products;

     1.   All end-use products with labeling for use on tree seedlings
         (conifer and deciduous species), plant propagules and any
         other use site (commodity) that may be directly handled,  such
         that human skin is exposed to the treated commodity, must bear
         use precautions under the Directions for Use heading
         that instructs:

-------
        "(Name of use site(s),  e.g.  pine  seedlings)  that are
        treated with this  product  must  bear  distinct labeling
        that  instructs:

        CAUTION:  Treated  with  thiram.  Wear rubber  gloves
        and protective  clothing when handling products
        treated with thiram.   Direct exposure to skin may
        result in severe dermatitis."

2.   All  end-use products that  bear  labeling for seed  treatment
    must include the  following precautionary statements:

        Causes eye  and  skin irritation.  Harmful if  swallowed,
        inhaled or  absorbed through skin.  Do not get in eyes,
        on skin,  or  on  clothing.  Wear goggles or face  shield
        and rubber  gloves  when handling.   Avoid inhaling of
        spray mist  or  dust.  Do not use or store near food
        or feed.

         During  commerical  exposure  in seed treatment and  loading
         operations,  wear goggles,  clean rubber gloves,  protective
         clothing, and a pesticide respirator jointly approved  by
         the Mine  Safety and Health  Administration   (form-
         erly the  U. S. Bureau of Mines) and by the National
         Institute of Occupational Safety and Health under
         provisions of 30 CFR, Part  11.  Wash hands, arms  and
         face thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
         before eating or smoking.   Routinely shower or bathe after
         work, wash all clothing with soap and hot water before
         reusing.


 3.  All products,  manufacturing-use  and end  use, must bear the
    labeling precautionary  statement:

         Consumption of alcoholic  beverages  increases the toxic
         effects of thiram.

      In addition, the following  specific  environmental hazard
 labeling requirements apply to  technical  and manufacturing-
 use products:

         1.   All MUPs must bear the  following precautionary
              statements:

              This pesticide is  toxic to fish.   Do not discharge
              into lakes, streams,  ponds,  or  public waters unless
              in accordance with an NPDES  permit.   For guidance,
              contact your  Regional Office or the  Environmental
              Protection Agency.

          2.   All  end-use products  (EUPs)  intended for outdoor use,
              including  seed treatments, must bear the following
              precautionary statements:

-------
             This  pesticide product is toxic to fish.  Do not contamin-
             ate water  by cleaning of equipment or disposal of material.
             Drift or  ranoff from treated areas may be hazardous to
             aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.  Do not apply
             directly  to water or wetlands.

         3.   Both  MUPs  and EUPs may need special labeling to protect
             endangered species.  This will be determined after the
             required  environmental chemistry data are reviewed, and
             in  conjunction with EPA's evaluation of the potential risk
             of  hazards to endangered species.

     All  end-use products intended for crop use, except seed, seed piece
and plant propagule treatments must bear the use restriction:

               Do  not  rotate treated crop with crops other than
               those with registered thiram uses.

               Do  not  reenter treated areas within 24-hours following
               application unless protective clothing is worn.

H.  Tolerance Reassessment

     1.   Non-Seed  Applications

     The  established tolerances for thiram are presently expressed
as the fungicide thiram (tetramethyl thiuram disulfide) without
specifying any metabolites.  The metabolism of thiram in plants and
animals  is not adequately understood.  Available data do not provide
direct evidence  that thirara is or is not absorbed by root or shoot
portions  of plants.  Therefore, it is not known whether or not thiram
is systemic.

     Thiram per  se_ has not been identified as a residue in root-
treated  plants,  however it has not been adequately sought.  The
following metabolites  of thiram have been tentatively identified
in plant  sap using a fungal bioassay on paper chromatographs:
DDC-beta-glucoside (DDC= dimethyldithiocarbamate), DDC-L-alanine,
thiazolidine-2-thione-4-carboxylic acid, and an unidentified
fungitoxic compound.   The residues of concern cannot be determined
at this  time due to the inadequacy of the available data. Also,
the nonfood use category for thiram seed treatments cannot be
upheld or denied until the receipt of the requested plant
metabolism data.

    Reassessment of the established thiram tolerances must await
receipt  and evaluation of the toxicological studies as requested
on the accompanying Tables A and B.  The available toxicological
data are unacceptable for use in establishing tolerances.  Con-
sequently, a "No Observable Effect Level"  (NOEL) cannot be establish-
ed at this time, hence a maximum permissible intake  (MPI) cannot
be calculated.

     2.  Seed Applications:

     No tolerances have  been  established  for  thiram residues
 in or on any crop for which thiram is  registered solely for
 seed treatment, because  heretofore seed  treatment  uses have
 been considered to be nonfood uses.  These  crops include:
 barley, beans (dry and  succulent), lima  beans,  beets, broccoli,
 brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, castor bean,
 cauliflower, collards,  corn  (sweet and field),  cotton, cowpeas,
 cucumber, eggplant,  endive,  flax,  forage-fodder grasses,
 kale,  kohlrabi, lentils, lettuce,  millet, muskmelons, mustard,
 oats,  okra, onion, peanuts,  peppers, pumpkins,  radish, rice,
 rye, safflower, sesame,  small-seeded legumes, sorghum,
 soybeans, spinach, sugar beets,  sunflower,  swiss chard,
 tomato, turnips,  watermelon,  and wheat.
 fl—7  parts per million in or on bananas (from preharvest  and
     postharvest application) of which not more than 1  part
     per million shall be in the pulp after peel is removed
     and discarded.

        the cover letter accompanying this guidance document.
        As required by FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B), you are
        required to take appropriate steps to comply with
        this Notice.

        EPA may suspend the registration of each of those products
        unless, within the specified time, you have informed  EPA
        how you will  satisfy the requirements of this Notice.
        Any such suspension will remain in effect until you have
        complied with the terms of  this Notice.

    B.  What Generic  Data ^/ Must Be Submitted.  You may ascertain
        which generic data you must submit by consulting Table A
        at the end of this chapter.  That table shows all the
        generic data  needed to evaluate the continued registrability
        of all products, and the dates by which the data must be
        submitted.  The required data must be submitted and any
        necessary studies must be conducted in accordance with
        EPA-approved  protocols, the Pesticide Registration
        Guidelines 2/, or data collected under the  approved
        protocols of  the Organization  for Economic  Cooperation
        and Development  (OECD).  If you wish not  to develop data
        which are necessary to support the registration or
        reregistration of certain uses appearing  in your  labeling,
        you may delete those uses at  the time you  submit  your
        revised labeling.

        Also  for  certain  kinds of testing  (generally  ecological
        effects), EPA requires the  test substance  to  be a  "typical
        formulation," and  in those  cases EPA needs  data of that

     I/  Generic data  pertain to  the  properties or  effects  of  a
 particular  ingredient, and  thus are relevant to an  evaluation of
 the risks of  all  products  containing  that  ingredient  (or  all  such
 products  having a certain use  pattern), regardless  of  any such
 product's unique  composition or use.   Product-specific  data  relate
 only  to the properties or effects of  a product with a  particular
 composition  (or a group  of  products with closely  similar  composition)

     2/  The  Pesticide  Registration Guidelines were  reproposed  on
 November  24,  1982  in  47  Federal Register 53192.

        type  for each major formulation category (e.g.,  emulsifiable
        concentrates, wettable powders, granulars,  etc.)   These
        are classified as generic data and when needed  are
        specified in Table A.   EPA may possess data on  certain
        "typical formulations" but not others.  Note;   The "typical
        formulation" data should not be confused with product-
        specific data (Table B) which are required  on each
        formulation.  Product-specific data are further explained
        in Chapter IV of this document.

    C.   Options Available for Complying With Requirements
        to Submit Data

        Within 90 days of your receipt of this Notice you must
    submit to EPA a completed copy of the form entitled "FIFRA
    Section  3(c)(2)(B) Summary Sheet"  [EPA Form 8580-1,  Appendix
    II-2]  for each of your products.  On that form you  must
    state which of the following methods you will use  to comply
    with the  requirements of this Notice:

    1.   (a)  Notify EPA that you will submit the data,  and

        (b)  either submit the existing data you believe
            will satisfy the requirement, or state that
            you will generate the data by conducting
            testing.  If the test procedures you will
            use deviate from (or are not specified in)
            the Registration Guidelines or protocols
            contained in the Reports of Expert Groups
            to the Chemicals Group, Organization for
            Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
            Chemicals Testing Programme, you must enclose
            the protocols you will use.

    2.   Notify EPA that you nave entered into an agreement
        with one or more other registrants to jointly
        develop  (or share in the cost  of developing) the
        data.  If you elect this option, you must notify EPA
        which registrant(s) are parties to the agreement.

    3.   File with EPA a completed  "Certification of Attempt to
        Enter Into an Agreement With Other Registrants for
        Development of Data"  (EPA  Form 8580-6, Appendix II-3)V

    4.   Request  that EPA amend your registration by deleting the
        uses for which the data are needed.   (This option is not
        available to applicants for new products.)

     V FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B) authorizes joint development of
data Ey two or more  registrants, and provides a mechanism by
which parties can obtain an arbitrator's decision if they agree
to jointly develop data but fail to agree on  all the terms of
the agreement.  The  statute does not compel any registrant to
agree to develop data jointly.
(Footnote continued at bottom of next  page)

                                21

-------
   5.  Request  voluntary  cancellation of  the registration(s)
       of your  products  for which the data are  needed.   (This
       option is  not  available to applicants for new  products.)

   D.  Procedures for Requesting Changes  in Testing Methodology
       and  Extensions of  Time

       EPA  recognizes that you may disagree with our  conclusions
       regarding  the  appropriate ways to  develop the  required
       data or  how quickly the data must  be submitted.   If the
       test procedures you plan to use deviate  from (or are  not
       specified  in)  the registration guidelines or protocols
       contained  in the reports of the Expert Groups  to the
       Chemical Groups,  Organization for  Economic Cooperation
       and  Development (OECD) Chemicals Testing Programme, you
       must submit the protocol for Agency review prior to the
        initiation of  the test.

        If you think that you will need more time to generate the
        required data than is allowed by EPA's schedule, you may
        submit a request for an extension of time.  The extension
        request must be submitted in writing to the Product
        Manager.  The extension request should state the reasons
        why you conclude that an extension is appropriate.   While
        EPA considers your request, you must strive to meet the
        deadline for submitting the required data.
(Footnote continued from previous page)
     In EPA's opinion, joint data development by all registrants
who are subject to the requirements to submit a pertinent item
of data or a cost-sharing agreement among all such registrants
is clearly in the public interest.  Duplication of testing could
increase costs, tie up testing  facilities, and subject an unneces-
sarily large number of animals  to testing.
      As noted earlier, EPA has discretion not to suspend the
registration of a product when  a registrant fails to submit data
required under FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B).  EPA has concluded that
it is appropriate to exercise its discretion not to suspend in
ways which will discourage duplicative testing.  Accordingly, if
(1) a registrant has informed us of his  intent to develop and
submit data required by this Notice;  and  (2) a second regis-
trant informs EPA that it has made a  bona fide offer to the
first registrant to share in the expenses of the testing  [on
terms to be agreed upon or determined by arbitration under FIFRA
Section 3(c)(2)(B)(iii)]; and  (3) the first registrant has declined
to agree to enter into a cost-sharing agreement, EPA will not
suspend the second firm's registration.  While the first  firm is
not required to agree to jointly develop data, EPA is not required
to force the second firm to engage in economically inefficient
duplicative testing in order to maintain its registration.

   Typical end-use product; EP = End-use product.

2/ Data must be submitted no later than 24 months from the date of receipt of this Standard.
3/ Studies concerning the uptake, metabolism and translocation of  [c] thiram by a small grain crop, a root crop,
   and a leafy vegetable.  (*Note the thiocarbamate carbon should be labeled.)  Plants must be planted in treated soil and
   the same plants must subsequently be treated foliarly.  Radioactive residues must be characterized and quantified  in
   grain, roots, and foliage.  A method such as GC or HPLC msut be used followed by verification by MS.

   Studies concerning the uptake and translocation of [14C] thiram into a small grain, cotton, and soybeans following
   planting of seed treated with [14C] thiram at the respective maximum registered rates.  Total radioactivity must be
   quantified in all plant parts at various stages of growth, including the forage stage and at harvest of the raw
   agricultural commodity.  This study is necessary to determine whether thiram seed treatments may continue to be
   considerd nonfood uses or whether tolerances (and the requisite residue data) are required for the commodities derived
   from these crops.  [Refer to the section concerning seed treatments.]

4/ Metabolism studies utilizing lactating ruminant dosed with [14C] thiram at 7 ppm (or more, if necessary, to obtain
   sufficient metabolite levels for identification) in the diet for 3 days.  (*Note the thiocarbamate should be labeled.)
   Animals must be sacrificed within 24 hours of the final dose and residues must be characterized and quantified in milk,
   muscle, fat, kidney, and liver.  Milk must be sampled twice daily throughout the dosing period.

   Poultry metabolism studies in which laying hens are dosed with [14C] thiram at 0.6 ppm (or more, if necessary, to
   obtain sufficient metabolite levels for identification) in the diet for 3 days.   Animals must be sacrificed within 24
   hours of the final dose and residues must be characterized and quantified in eggs, muscle, fat,  gizzard, heart,  liver,
   and skin.  Eggs must be sampled twice daily throughout the dosing period.

jj/ A validated method (preferably GC) which can be used to enforce the established tolerances for residues of thiram
   per se_ in or on apples, celery, peaches, strawberries, tomatoes, bananas, snd onions.

   A validated confirmatory method (preferably MS).

   (It should be noted that the available plant metabolism data are sufficient.  Should the required metabolism data
   reveal additional metabolites of concern adequate regulatory methods may be required.   Also,  the available plant
   metabolism data, though insufficient, indicate that residues will not be restricted to the surfaces of  treated crops.
   Surface stripping extraction procedures will be unacceptable. )

                                           GENERIC DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR THIRAM

6/ Data demonstrating the stability of thiram residues in or on representative plant and animal samples stored at freezing
~  temperatures for intervals up to 1 year or for a period approximately that used for the residues studies which follow
   or those requested.

7/ Residue data involving thiram residues in or on dry bulb onions following the in-furrow application at-planting of
~  either a 65-75% WP or 5-7.5% G formulation at 2.06 Ib ai/A (36-inch row spacing) from tests conducted in western
   states.  See discussion below concerning green onions.

   The requirement for data involving thiram studies in or on onions as the result of seed treatments will be dependent
   upon results of the requested plant metabolism data (see plant metabolism section), which would qualify such seed
   treatments as either non-food uses or food uses.  Additionally, unless removal of green onions from the existing 5% G
   formulation labels is considered appropriate, we recommend the proposal of a green onion tolerance and the requirement
   of residue data reflecting use of this formulation for green onions as an in-furrow treatment at-planting at 2.06 Ib
   ai/A from geographically representative test locations.  The Mexican tolerances for residues of thiram per se in or
   on onions has been established at 0.5 ppm.  No Canadian tolerance or Codex MRL exists for thiram residues in or on
   onions.  Use of the 5% G formulations on green onions (this would qualify as a food use) is not supported by any
   submitted data; nor has a tolerances been established for thiram residues in or on green onions.  Unless the registrant
   opts for removal of green onions from the existing labels, submission of data pertaining to the use of thiram
   formulations on greeen onions and the level of residues contained therein as well as the subsequent establishment of a
   green onion tolerance will be necessary.

8/ Residue data from trimmed and washed mature celery from plants which were treated before transplanting with the
   4 Ib/gal FlC and, in a separate test, a representative WP formulation at 0.25 Ib ai/1,2000 square feet (9.08 Ib ai/A),
   at least four times at 3-day intervals.  The studies should take place in CA, which produces 69% of the U.S. celery
   crop (Agricultural Statistics, 1982, p. 158).

   Residue data from trimmed and washed mature celery raised from transplants foliarly-treated four times at 0.25
   Ib ai/1,2000 square feet (9.08 Ib ai/A), and, after transplanting, treated at least 20 times at 2.1 Ib ai/A with a
   representative WP formulation at 3-7 day intervals.  These tests should take place in FL (since the latter treatment
   is registered in FL only).

9_/ Data reflecting residues on the day of the last of 20 foliar applications (3-5 day intervals)  with one of the WP
   formulations and at 1.125 Ib ai/100 gal and the 3.3% D formualtion at 1 Ib ai/A.  FlC and WP data should represent the
   maximum expected dosage rate (ai/A) based on typical commercial row spacings and volume of spray/A.  Tests should be
   conducted in CA(29%) and FL(42%); the contribution to U.S. fresh market tomato production, as designated in Agri-
   cultural Statistics, 1982, p. 176, is given parenthetically.

   Data pertaining to thiram residues in or the processed products of tomatoes (pomace, puree, catsup, and juice)
   processed from field-treated tomatoes which contain measurable weathered residues.

10/ Residue data fron apples treated at least 10 times at 2.6 Ib ai/A with a representative D formulation and the 65% WP
    (prepared as a D formulation) both aerially and ground-applied (separate tests), sampled on the day of the last
    treatment.  The studies should take place in NY and WA.

    Residue data from apples treated at least 10 times at 1.3 Ib ai/100 gal with 65% WP, sampled on the same day as the
    last treatment.  The studies should take place in NY and WA.

    Residue data fron apples harvested on the same day of the last of at least 10 treatments with the 4 Ib/gal F1C at 1.3
    Ib ai/100 gal (sprayed to runoff).  The studies should take place in NY and WA.

    Residue data from apples and appropriate processed apple products (wet pomace, dry ponace and juice) produced upon
    processing of apples having weathered residues at or above the tolerance.   This may require that the apples be treated
    at exaggerated rates.

ll/ Residue data at 7 days posttreatment reflecting    5 applications of 3-day intervals during blossom development and
    12 applications at 10-day intervals beginning at petal fall.  The following formulations must be applied:   65-95%
    WP and 4 Ib/gal FlC (at 1.3 Ib ai/100 gal); 3.41 Ib ai/A of a representative D formulation.  Tests should  involve both
    aerial and ground applications and must be conducted in CA, PA, and SC.  The number of gallons of spray material
    applied (FlC and WP per acre must be specified and must reflect good agricultural practices.

    A temporary Codex MRL of 3 ppm has been established for dithiocarbamate residues (including thiram)  in or  on peaches
    expressed as ppm CS2.  The Canadian and Mexican tolerances are identical to the U.S. tolerance.   Compatibility between
    the U.S. tolerances and Codex MRL will not be assessed until receipt of the requested data.

12/ Data reflecting residues at daily intervals from 0-7 day following the last of five foliar applications at 10-day
    intervals with the 7.5% D and 4 Ib/gal FlC formulations at 3 and 3.25 Ib ai/application, respectively.  Tests must be
    conducted in CA and FL, which respectively produce 7.3% and 9% of the U.S.  strawberry crop (Agricultural Statistics,
    1982, p. 229).  If necessary, PHIs must be proposed.

13/ Residue data involving thiram residues in or on whole bananas and the pulp from the use of the 65% WP.  Three pre-
    harvest applications must be made at weekly intervals beginning at flower  emergence at 0.65 Ib ai/5  gal.   Tests must
    be conducted in two or more of the following countries:  Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia,  or
    Ecuador.

    Residue data involving thiram residues in or on whole bananas and the pulp from the use of the 0.1%  RTU formulation
    applied postharvest as a 0.1% ai paste brushed on crown areas (formulated  with ziram,  sodium O-phenylphenate,  and
    sulfur.

14/ Because no tolerance exists for thiram residues  in or on cotton, no conclusions  can  be  made  at this  time.  However,
    unless in-furrow treatment (considered a food use)  are removed from the  existing labels,  the proposal  of  such a
    tolerance will be necessary as will the submission of data  involving thiram residues in or on  cotton (and, perhaps,
    cottonseed products),  as a result of in-furrow treatments.  Seed treatment  data  may  also be  required pending results
    of requested plant metabolism studies (uptake of residues into plants grown from thiram-treated seed).

IS/ As no residue data were submitted that reflect seed treatment and knowledge of the plant metabolism  of  thiram is
    incomplete, we cannot determine the necessity for tolerances  for thiram  residues in  or  on crops treated in this
    manner.  When the data requirements outlined in  the Nature  of the Residue section are completed we will be able to
    assess the need for these tolerances and accordingly,  for each crop let  stand their  non-food status, or required
    appropriate residue data and tolerance proposals.

16/ The following feeding studies will be required,  but only if the requested animal metabolism  studies  reveal that
    thiram residues of concern transfer to animal products;

    Lactating ruminants must receive thiram in the diet at 2.5, 10.5 and 35  ppm for  4 weeks  or until residue plateau in
    milk.  All residues of concern must be quantified in  milk (collected twice  daily), liver, and  fat.   If  the requested
    plant metabolism studies reveal that one or more residues of  concern other  than  thiram per se  occur  in  or on feed
    items, then these metabolites must also be fed to the same  animals  receiving thiram  per  se at  levels proportionate to
    their occurrence in or on feed items.

    Laying hens must receive thiram in the diet at 0.6, 1.8,  and  6.0 ppm for 4  weeks or  until residues plateau in eggs.
    All residues of concern must be quantified in eggs  (collected twice daily), fat,  gizzard, liver, muscle, and skin.
    As noted above for ruminants, other residues of  concern found in or plants  if they exist, must be fed.

I?/ If the animal metabolism studies reveal that thiram residues  of concern  transfer to  animal derived raw  agricultural
    commodities and if feeding studies indicate that animal tolerances  are needed then validated enforcement methods
    for identification and quantification of the residue will be  required.

III.  REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DATA

    Note:  This Section applies only to manufacturing-use
products, not end-use products.

    A necessary first step in determining which statements must
appear on your product's label is the completion and submission
to EPA of product-specific data* listed on the form entitled
"Product Specific Data Report" (EPA Form 8580-4, Appendix III-l)
to fill "gaps" identified by EPA concerning your product.  Under
the authority of FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B), EPA has determined
that you must submit these data to EPA in order to register or
reregister your product(s).  All of these data must be submitted
not later than six months after you receive this guidance document.

    "Product-Specific Data Requirements for Manufacturing-Use
Products" appearing in Table B permit you to determine which
product-specific data you must submit.  This can be done by
examining the entries in the column of those tables entitled
"Must Data Be Submitted Under §3(c)(2)(B)."
     V Product specific data pertains to data  that support the
formulation which  is marketed;  it  usually includes product chemistry
data and acute toxicology data.

IV.  SUBMISSION OF REVISED LABELING AND PACKAGING INFORMATION

    Note:  This section applies to end-use products only to the
extent described under Section II of this document.  Otherwise,
the following information pertains exclusively to manufacturing-
use products.

    The Agency requires applicants for registration or reregistra-
tion to ensure that each label (1) contains accurate, complete,
and sufficient instructions and precautions, reflecting the
results of data concerning the product and its ingredients, and
(2) incorporates labeling format and terminology which are suffi-
ciently standardized to avoid user confusion.

    As part of your application, you will be required to submit
draft labeling consistent with:  applicable product-specific
data; the precautionary statements and use directions; and the
regulations concerning classification  [40 CFR §162.11(c)], pack-
aging [40 CFR §162.16], and labeling [40 CFR §162.10, Appendix
IV-1 and IV-2], as indicated by the following paragraphs of this
chapter of the guidance document.

    If owners of currently registered products fail to submit
revised labeling and packaging information complying with this
Section and/or Section II, EPA may issue a notice of intent to
cancel the registration under FIFRA §6(b)(l).

    A.  Label Contents

        40 CFR §162.10 (Appendix IV-1) requires that certain spe-
    cific labeling statements must appear at certain locations
    on the label.  This is referred to as format labeling.
    Specific label items listed below are keyed to the table
    entitled: "Labeling Requirements of FIFRA, As Amended".

        Item 1.  PRODUCT NAME - The name, brand, or trademark  is
    required to be located on the front panel, preferably centered
    in the upper part of the panel.  The name of a product will
    not be accepted if it is false or misleading.  See Appendix
    IV-1.  [40 CFR §162.10(b)]

        Item 2.  COMPANY NAME AND ADDRESS - The name and address
    of the registrant or distributor is required on the label.
    The name and address should preferably be located at the
    bottom of the front panel or at the end of the label text.
    See Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR §162.10(c)]

        Item 3.  NET CONTENTS - A net content statement is required
    on all labels.  The preferred location  is the bottom of the
    front panel immediately above the company name and address,
    or at the end of the label text.  The net contents must be
    stated in terms of weight, expressed as avoirdupois pounds

                                50

-------
and ounces,  and stated in terms of the largest suitable unit,
i.e., "1 pound 10 ounces" rattier than "26 ounces."  In
addition to the required units specified, net contents may be
expressed in metric units.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR
§162.10(d)]

    Item 4.   EPA REGISTRATION NUMBER - The registration
number assigned to the pesticide product must appear on the
label, preceded by the phrase "EPA Registration No.," or "EPA
Reg. No."  The registration number must be set in type of a
size and style similar to other print on that part of the
label on which it appears and must run parallel to it.  The
registration number and the required identifying phrase must
not appear in such a manner as to suggest or imply recommendation
or endorsement of the product by the Agency.  See Appendix IV-1.
[40 CFR §162.10(e)]

    Item 5.   EPA ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER - The EPA establishment
number, preceded by the phrase "EPA Est." is the final estab-
lishment at which the product was produced, and may appear
in any suitable location on the label or immediate container.
It must also appear on the wrapper or outside container of
the package if the EPA establishment registration number on
the immediate container cannot be clearly read through such
wrapper or container.  See Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR §162.10(f)]

    Item 6.  INGREDIENT STATEMENT - An ingredient statement
is required on the front panel and must  contain the name and
percentage by weight of each active ingredient and the total
percentage by weight of all inert ingredients.  The preferred
location is immediately below the product name.  The  ingredient
statement must run parallel with, and be clearly distinguished
from, other text on the panel.  It must  not be placed in the
body of other text.  See Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR 162.10(g)]

    Item 6A.  POUNDS PER GALLON STATEMENT - For liquid
agricultural formulations, the pounds per gallon of active
ingredient must be indicated on the label.

    Item 7.  FRONT LABEL  PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS - All  labels
are required to have precautionary statements grouped together
on the  front panel, preferably within a  block outline.   The
table  below shows  the minimum  type size  requirements  on
various size labels, as  set forth in  the Regulations.
                             51

    Item 7A.  CHILD HAZARD WARNING STATEMENT - All labels are
required to have the statement "Keep Out of Reach of Children"
located on the front panel above the signal word except where
contact with children during distribution or use is unlikely.
See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR §162.10(h) (1) ( ii) ]

    Item 7B.  SIGNAL WORD - The signal word (Caution, Warning,
or Danger) is required on the front panel immediately below
the child hazard warning statement.  See Appendix IV-1.
[40 CFR §162.10 (h)(l)(i)]

    Item 7C.  SKULL & CROSSBONES AND WORD "POISON" - On products
assigned a toxicity Category I on the basis of oral, inhala-
tion, or dermal toxicity, the word "Poison" shall appear on
the label in red on a background of distinctly contrasting
color and the skull and crossbones shall appear in immediate
proximity to the word poison.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR
    Item 7D.  STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT - A statement
of practical treatment (first aid or other) shall appear on
the label of pesticide products in toxicity Categories I,
II, and III.  See Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR §162.10 (h) (1 )( iii) ]

    Item 7E.  REFERRAL STATEMENT - The statement "See Side
(or Back) Panel for Additional Precautionary Statements" is
required on the front panel for all products, unless all
required precautionary statements appear on the front panel.
See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR §162.10(h) ( 1 ) (iii ) ]

    Item 8.  SIDE/BACK PANEL PRECAUTIONARY LABELING - The
precautionary statements as listed below must appear together
on the label under the heading "PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."
The preferred location is at the top of the side or back
panel preceding the directions for use, and it is preferred
that these statements be surrounded by a block outline.  Each
of the three hazard warning statements must be headed by the
appropriate hazard title.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR §162.10
(h)(2)J
                            52

-------
    Item 8A.  HAZARD TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS - Where a
hazard exists to humans or domestic animals, precautionary
statements are required indicating the particular hazard, the
route(s) of exposure and the precautions taken to avoid
accident, injury or damage.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR §162.10
(h)(2)(i)]

    Item 8B.  ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD - Where a hazard exists to
non-target organisms excluding humans and domestic animals,
precautionary statements are required stating the nature of
the hazard and the appropriate precautions to avoid potential
accident, injury, or damage.  See Appendix IV-1.  [40 CFR
§162.10(h)(2)(ii)3

    Item 8C.  PHYSICAL OR  CHEMICAL HAZARD

    1.  Flammability statement.  Precautionary statements
        relating  to flammability of a product are required
        to appear on the label  if  it meets  the criteria  in
        Appendix  IV-3.  The requirement  is  based on the  results
        of the flashpoint  determinations and flame extension
        tests required to  be submitted for  all products.
        These statements are to be located  in  the side/back
        panel precautionary statements section, preceded by
        the  heading "Physical/Chemical Hazards."  Note that
        no signal word is  used  in  conjunction with the flam-
        mability  statements.

    2.  Criteria  for declaration of non-flammability.  The
        following criteria will be used  to  determine  if  a
        product  is  non-flammable:

        a.   A "non-flammable gas"  is  a gas  (or mixture of
             gases)  that will not ignite  when a lighted match
             is placed  against  the  open  cylinder valve.

         b.   A "non-flammable  liquid"  is  one having  a  flash-
             point greater  than 350°F  (177°C) as determined
             by  the  method  specified  in  40  CFR  §163.61-8(c)(13)
             (ii)  of Subpart D.

         c.   A "non-flammable  aerosol" is one which  meets the
             following  criteria:

             i.   The flame  extension  is  zero inches,  using the
                 method specified in 40  CFR §163.61-8(c)(13)(ii);

            ii.   There  is  no flash back;  and

           iii.   The flashpoint of the non-volatile liquid
                 component is greater than 350°F (177°C),
                 determined by the method specified in 40 CFR
                 §163.61-8(c)(13)(i).

                             53

-------
    3.  Declaration of non-flammability.   Products which meet
        the criteria for non-flammability specified above may
        bear the notation "non-flammable" or "nonflammable
        (gas, liquid, etc.)" on the label.

        It may appear as a substatement to the ingredients
        statement, or on a back or side panel, but shall not
        be highlighted or emphasized (as with an inordinately
        large type size) in any way that may detract from
        precaution.

    4.  Other physical/chemical hazard statements.  When
        chemistry data submitted in accordance with 40 CFR
        §163.61-10(c) demonstrate hazards of a physical or
        chemical nature other than flammability, appropriate
        statements of hazard will be prescribed.  Such
        statements may address hazards of explosivity,
        oxidizing or reducing capability, or mixing with
        other substances to produce toxic fumes.

    Item 9.  MISUSE STATEMENT - The following statement is
required on your label:  "It is a violation of Federal law to
use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling."
See Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR §162.10(1)(2)(ii) ]

    Item 10A.  STORAGE AND DISPOSAL BLOCK -  All labels are
required to bear storage and disposal statements.  These
statements are developed for specific containers, sizes, and
chemical content.  Make certain that the  statement you use
pertains specifically to your product.  These instructions
must be grouped and appear under the heading "Storage and
Disposal" in the directions for use.  This heading must be
set in the same type sizes as required for the child hazard
warning.  Refer to Appendix IV-4 for the  latest specific
storage and disposal product label statements.

    Item 10B.  DIRECTIONS FOR USE - Directions for use must
be stated in terms which can be easily read and understood by
the average person likely to use or to supervise the use of
the pesticide.  When followed, directions must be adequate to
protect the public from fraud and from personal injury and to
prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.  See
Appendix IV-1.   [40 CFR §162.10]

B.  Collateral Information

    Bulletins, leaflets, circulars, brochures, data sheets,
flyers, and other graphic printed matter  which is referred to
on the label or which  is to accompany the product are termed
collateral labeling.  Such labeling may not bear claims or
representations that differ in substance  from those accepted
in connection with registration of the product.  It should be
made part of the response to this notice  and submitted for review.

                            54

V.    INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION

    All applications prepared in response to this Notice should
be addressed as follows:

    Henry M. Jacoby, Product Manager 21
    Registration Division (TS-767)
    Office of Pesticide Programs
    Environmental Protection Agency
    Washington, D.C.  20460
    Pnone No. (703) 557-1900

For each product for which continued registration is desired:

    1.  Within 90 days from receipt of this document, you must
        submit the "FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B) Summary Sheet" EPA
        Form 8580-1.  Refer to Appendix II-2 with appropriate
        attachments.

    2.  Within 6 months from receipt of this document registrants
        must submit:

        a.  Confidential Statement of Formula, EPA Form 8570-4.

        b.  Product Specific Data Report, EPA Form 8580-4  (Appendix
            III-l).

        c.  Two copies of any required product-specific data.

        d.  Two copies of draft labeling, including the label and
            associated brochures.  If current labeling conforms
            to the requirements of this guidance document and the
            results of the short-term data, the registrant may
            submit such labeling.  (End-use product labeling
            needs to comply specifically with the instruction in
            Section II of this guidance document.) The labeling
            should be either typewritten text on 8-1/2 x 11 inch
            paper or a mockup of the labeling suitable for
            stortage in 8-1/2 x 11 inch files. The draft label
            must indicate the intended colors of the final label,
            clear indication of the front panel label, and the
            intended type sizes of the text.

    3.  Within the time set forth in Table A, all generic data
        must be submitted by the affected registrant(s).

Note:  If for any reason any required test is delayed or aborted
       so that meeting the agreed submission time will be delayed,
       notify the Product Manager listed above.

    After the Supreme Court has ruled on the Monsanto Decision,
you will be informed as to when you must submit your Application
for Amended Pesticide Registration (EPA Form 8570-1) and the
associated data support information.

                                55

          Guide to Use of This Bibliography
CONTENT OF BIBLIOGRAPHY.  This bibliography contains
citations of all studies considered relevant by EPA in
arriving at the positions and conclusions stated elsewhere
in the Standard.  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, will be included.

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

IDENTIFICATION OF ENTRIES.  The entries in this bibliography
are sorted numerically by "Master Record Identifier," or
MRID, number.  This number is unique to the citation, and
should be used at any time 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 a further explana-
tion.  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 identifier number is
also to be used whenever specific reference is needed.

FORM OF ENTRY.  In addition to the Master Record Identifier
(MRID), each entry consists of a citation containing
standard elements followed, in the case of material
submitted to EPA, by a description of the earliest known
submission.  Bibliographic conventions used reflect the
standards of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), expanded to provide for certain special needs.
a.
Author.  Whenever the Agency could confidently identify
one, the Agency has chosen to show a personal author.
When no individual was identified, the Agency has
                             56

                                      (continued)


a.  Author.   Whenever the Agency could confidently identify
    one, 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 author.   As a last resort, the Agency has shown
    the first submitter as author.

b.  Document Date.  When the date appears as four digits
    with no question marks, the Agency took it directly
    from the document.  When a four-digit date is followed
    by a question mark, the bibliographer deduced the
    date from evidence in the document.  When the date
    appears as (19??), the Agency was unable to determine
    or estimate the date of the document.

c.  Title.  In some cases, it has been necessary for
    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 fol-
    lowing 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,
         following the phrase "submitted by."  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," standing 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.
         For example, within accession number 123456, the
         first study would be 123456-A; the second, 123456-
         B; the 26th, 123456-Z; and the 27th, 123456-AA.

tents. (1) The net weight or measure
of content shall be exclusive of wrap-
pers or  other materials and shall be
the average content  unless  explicitly
stated as a minimum  quantity.
  (2) If the pesticide is a liquid, the
net  content  statement  shall  be in
terms of liquid measure  at 68' F (20'C)
and shall be expressed in conventional
American units of fluid ounces, pints,
quarts, and gallons.
  (3) If the pesticide  is solid or semiso-
lid, viscous or pressurized, or is a mix-
ture of  liquid and solid, the net  con-
tent statement shall be in terms of
weight   expressed   as   avoirdupois
pounds and ounces.
  (4) In all cases, net content shall be
stated in terms of the largest suitable
units, i.e., "1 pound 10 ounces" rather
than "26 ounces."
  (5) In addition to the  required units
specified, net  content   may  be   ex-
pressed  in metric units.
  (6) Variation above tyiinimum  con-
tent or around an average is permissi-
ble only to  the extent  that it repre-
sents deviation  unavoidable in  good
manufacturing  practice.   Variation
below a stated minimum is not permit-
ted. In no case shall  the average  con-
tent of the packages in a shipment fall
below the stated average content.
  (e)  Product  registration  number.
The registration  number assigned to
the  pesticide product at the time of
registration shall appear on  the label,
preceded by the phrase "EPA Regis-
tration No.," or the phrase "EPA Reg.
No." The registration number shall be
set in type of a size and style similar to
other print on that  pan of the label
on which it appears and shall run  par-
                                72

allel to it. The  registration number
and  the  required identifying phrase
shall not appear  in such a manner as
to suggest or imply recommendation
or endorsement of the product by  the
Agency.
  (f) Producing establishments  regis-
tration number. The producing estab-
lishment registration number preced-
ed by  the  phrase "EPA Est.".  of  the
final establishment at which the prod-
uct was produced may appear  in  any
suitable location on the label or imme-
diate container. It must appear on the
wrapper  or outside container  of  the
package if the EPA establishment  reg-
istration  number on  the immediate
container  cannot be  clearly  read
through such wrapper or container.
  (g) Ingredient statement—<1) Gener-
al The label of each pesticide product
must bear a statement which contains
the name and percentage by weight of
each active ingredient, the total  per-
centage by weight of all inert ingredi-
ents: and if the  pesticide contains ar-
senic in any form, a statement of the
percentages of total and water-soluble
arsenic calculated as elemental ar-
senic.  The active ingredients must be
designated by the term "active ingredi-
ents"  and the inert ingredients by the
term "inert ingredients," or the singu-
lar forms of these terms when appro-
priate. Both terms  shall be  in the
same  type size, be aligned to the same
 margin and be equally prominent. The
statement "Inert Ingredients, none" is
 not required for pesticides -which con-
 tain  100  percent active  ingredients.
 Unless the ingredient statement is a
 complete analysis of the pesticide, the
 term  "analysis"  shall not be used as a
 heading for the ingredient statement.
   (2)  Position of ingredient statement.
 (1)  The ingredient statement is  nor-
 mally required on the front panel of
 the label. If there is an  outside con-
 tainer or wrapper through which the
 ingredient statement cannot be clearly
 read,  the ingredient statement must
 also appear on such outside container
 or wrapper. If the size or form of the
 package   makes it  impracticable  to
 place the ingredient statement on the
  front panel  of  the label, permission
  may  be  granted for the  ingredient
  statement to appear elsewhere.
  Title 40—Protection of Environment

  (ii) The text of the ingredient state-
ment must  run parallel  with other
text on the panel on which it appears.
and  must be  clearly distinguishable
from and must not be  placed in the
body of other text.
  (3) Names to be used in ingredient
statement. The name used for each in-
gredient   shall   be   the  accepted
common  name, if there  is one. fol-
lowed  by the chemical  name. The
common  name may be used alone only
if it is well known. If no common name
has  been established,  the chemical
name alone shall be used. In  no case
will the use of a trademark or propri-
etary name be permitted unless such
name has been accepted as a common
name by the Administrator under the
authority of Section 25(c)(6).
  (4) Statements  of percentages. The
percentages  of  ingredients  shall  be
stated in terms ' of weight-to-weight.
The sum of percentages of the active
and the  inert ingredients shall be 100.
Percentages shall not be expressed by
a range of values such as "22-25%." If
the uses of the pesticide product  are
expressed as weight of active ingredi-
ent per  unit area, a statement of  the
weight of active  ingredient per unit
volume  of  the  pesticide formulation
shall  also appear in the  ingredient
statement.
  (5) Accuracy of stated percentages.
The percentages given shall be as pre-
cise as possible reflecting good manu-
facturing practice. If there may be un-
avoidable variation between manufac-.
 turing batches, the  value  stated for
 each  active ingredient  shall  be  the
lowest  percentage   which  may   be
 present.
  (6)  Deterioration. Pesticides  which
 change  in  chemical  composition  sig-
 nificantly must meet the following la-
 beling requirements:
  (I) In cases where it  is determined
 that a  pesticide formulation changes
 chemical  composition   significantly,
 the product must bear the following
 statement in a prominent position on
 the label: "Not for sale or use after
 [date]."                      ,  ,_ ,
   (ii)  The product must meet all label
 claims up to the  expiration time indi-
 cated on the label.
   (7)  Inert ingredients. The  Adminis-
 trator may require the name of  any
                               73

       STORAGE AND DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PESTICIDES

All products are required to bear specific label instructions
about storage and disposal.  Storage and disposal instructions
must be grouped together in the directions for use portion of
the label under the heading STORAGE AND DISPOSAL.  Products
intended solely for domestic use need not include the heading
"STORAGE AND DISPOSAL."  The STORAGE AND DISPOSAL heading
must appear in the minimum type size listed below:
Size of label
front panel in
square inches





Required type size
for the heading
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
(all capitals)


.... 10 point


Storage and disposal  instructions  must  be  set  apart  and
clearly distinguishable  from  other directions  for  use.
Blocking storage and  disposal statements with  a solid  line  is
suggested as a means  of  increasing their prominence.
A.  Storage Instructions:
All product labels  are  required  to have  appropriate  storage
instructions.  Specific storage  instructions are not prescribed.
Each registrant must  develop  his own storage instructions,
considering, when applicable,  the following factors:

1.  Conditions of storage  that might alter the composition or
    usefulness of the pesticide.  Examples could be  temperature
    extremes, excessive moisture or humidity, heat,  sunlight,
    friction, or contaminating substances or media.

2.  Physical requirements  of  storage which might adversely
    affect  the container of the  product  and its ability to
    continue to  function properly.  Requirements might include
    positioning  of  the  container in storage, storage or damage
    due  to  stacking,  penetration of moisture, and ability to
    withstand shock or  friction.

3.  Specifications  for  handling  the pesticide container,
    including movement  of  container within the storage area,
    proper  opening  and  closing procedures (particularly for
    opened  containers), and measures to minimize exposure
    while opening or closing  container.

                                                 (continued)

4.   Instructions on wnat to do if the container is damaged in
    any way,  or if tne pesticide is leaking or has been
    spilled,  and precautions to minimize exposure if damage occurs,

5.   General precautions concerning locked storage, storage in
    original container only, and separation of pesticides
    during storage to prevent cross-contamination of other
    pesticides, fertilizer, food, and feed.

6.   General storage instructions for household products should
    emphasize storage in original container and placement in
    locked storage areas.

B.   Pesticide Disposal Instructions;

The label of all products, except those intended solely for
domestic use, must bear explicit instructions about pesticide
disposal.  The statements  listed below contain the exact wording
that must appear on the label of these products:

1.   The labels of all products, except domestic use, must
    contain the statement,  "Do not  contaminate water, food,
    or feed by storage or  disposal."

2.  Except those products  intended  solely  for domestic use,
    the labels of all products that  contain active  ingredients
    appearing on the  "Acutely Hazardous" Commercial Pesticide
    Products List  (RCRA  "E" List) at the end of  this appendix
    or are assigned to Toxicity  Category I on  the basis of
    oral or dermal toxicity, skin or eye irritation potential,
    or Toxicity Category  I or II on the basis  of  acute inhala-
    tion toxicity must bear the  following  pesticide disposal
    statement:

    "Pesticide wastes  are acutely  hazardous.   Improper dis-
    posal of excess pesticide,  spray mixture,  or rinsate  is
    a  violation of Federal Law.   If these  wastes cannot  be
