II. Did EPA Approve the Application?
The Agency approved the application after considering all required
data on risks associated with the proposed use of Trifloxystrobin, and
information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be
derived from 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 Trifloxystrobin when used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause
unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
III. Approved Application
EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of April 8,
1999 (64 FR 17170) (FRL-6064-4), which announced that Novartis Crop
Protection, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, had submitted
applications to register the pesticide products, CGA-279202 WG, CGA-
279202 Technical, and CGA-279202 WG Turf, fungicides (EPA files symbols
100-ORO, 100-ORI, and 100-OEN) respectively, containing the new active
ingredient trifloxystrobin at 50% 98%, and 50% resepectively, an active
ingredient not included in any previously registered product.
EPA subsequently received an application from Novartis to register
the product Stratego (EPA File Symbol 100-OUI), also containing the
active ingredient trifloxystrobin. However, since the notice of receipt
of this application to register the product as required by section
3(c)(4) of FIFRA, as amended did not publish in the Federal Register,
interested parties may submit comments within 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice for the product ``Stratego'' only.
