The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of impending pesticide use cancellations and to afford those parties the opportunity to affect decision made by the pesticide registrants in concert with EPA. To the best of our knowledge the uses mentioned below will not appear on any label registered by the EPA following their expected cancellation.

acetic acid

The USEPA has proposed that all tolerances (actually exemptions from tolerances) for the fungicide, acetic acid, be revoked as of 2/28/93. Acetic acid has exemptions from tolerances in the U.S. in or on GRAINS and ANIMAL FORAGES and FODDERS. As of January 1991, all uses were cancelled. Any comments should be sent by 10/13/92 to the Public Response Section of the USEPA with reference to OPP-300252.
