Ciba-Geigy Corp.; Approval of a Pesticide Product Registration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces Agency approval of an application 
submitted by Ciba-Geigy Corporation, to conditionally register the 
pesticide product Irgarol 1051, containing an active ingredient not 
included in any previously registered product pursuant to the 
provisions of section 3(c)(7)(C) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Marshall Swindell, Product 
Manager (PM) 31, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location and 
telephone number: Rm. 270, CM #2, Environmental Protection Agency, 1921 
Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202, (703-305-6908).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of June 10, 1993 (58 FR 32533), which announced that 
Ciba-Geigy Corp., Additives Division, Three Skyline Drive, Hawthorne, 
NY 10532, had submitted an application to conditionally register the 
pesticide product Irgarol 1051, (EPA File Symbol 40810-RR), containing 
the active ingredient N-cyclopropyl-N'-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-
(methylthio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine at 96 percent, an active 
ingredient not included in any previously registered product. 
    The application was approved on September 9, 1994, as Irgarol 1051 
for use in formulating antifoulant paints in boats and vessels only. 
The product was assigned (EPA Registration Number 40810-11).
    A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) 
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on 
condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional 
registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set 
forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional 
registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on the 
environment; and that use of the pesticide is in the public interest.
    The Agency has considered the available data on the risks 
associated with the proposed use of N-cyclopropyl-N'-(1,1-
dimethylethyl)-6-(methylthio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, and 
information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be 
derived from such use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the 
nature of the chemical and its pattern of use, application methods and 
rates, and level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these 
reviews, the Agency was able to make basic health and safety 
determinations which show that use of N-cyclopropyl-N'-(1,1-
dimethylethyl)-6-(methylthio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine during the 
period of conditional registration is not expected to cause any 
unreasonable adverse effect on the environment, and that use of the 
pesticide is in the public interest.
    This product is conditionally registered in accordance with FIFRA 
section 3(c)(7)(A). Additional ecological effects data and 
environmental fate data will be required from end-use formulators for 
antifoulant boat bottom paints. All data, especially data which is 
currently held in reserve may be required to be submitted for review. 
If these conditions are not complied with the registration will be 
subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6(e).
    Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C), the Agency has determined that 
this conditional registration is in the public interest. Use of the 
pesticides are of significance to the user community, and appropriate 
labeling, use directions, and other measures have been taken to ensure 
that use of the pesticides will not result in unreasonable adverse 
effects to man and the environment. 
    More detailed information on this registration is contained in an 
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on N-cyclopropyl-N'-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-
(methylthio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine.
    A copy of this fact sheet, which provides a summary description of 
the chemical, use patterns and formulations, science findings, and the 
Agency's regulatory position and rationale, may be obtained from the 
National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, 
Springfield, VA 22161.
    In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved 
label and the list of data references used to support registration are 
available for public inspection in the office of the Product Manager. 
The data and other scientific information used to support registration, 
except for material specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are 
available for public inspection in the Public Response and Program 
Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 1132, CM #2,
