The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of recent or impending pesticide use cancellations and tolerance revocations. To the best of our knowledge, the uses mentioned here, unless otherwise indicated, will not appear on any label registered by the USEPA following their expected cancellation. We would recommend that you express any concerns or questions you may have to the contact mentioned below or your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative.

dodemorph acetate (Milban)

The USEPA has canceled the conditional registration for Milban held by the Grace-Sierra Crop Protection Company. This action was effective on 7/29/93 and due to the failure of Grace-Sierra to submit studies on worker exposure as required by the conditional registration of this fungicide. It is used as a foliar greenhouse fungicide on AFRICAN VIOLETS, BEGONIAS, CHRYSANTHEMUMS, ZINNIAS, KALANCHOES, LILACS, ROSES, and GRAPE-IVY. The USEPA will allow persons other than the registrant the continued sale, distribution, and use of existing stocks of Milban for 2-years following the cancellation date.

endrin

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked the action levels (Compliance Policy Guide, 7141.01) for endrin tolerances on food and animal feed as of 7/28/93. This follows the revocation by the USEPA of the tolerances for endrin on 6/9/93. Cancellation of some products occurred in 1979 with the final determination on the Special Review (formerly called RPAR) of endrin. The remaining products were cancelled by 1986 except for one used as a toxicant on bird perches which was canceled in 1991. FDA has concluded that endrin is no longer present in the environment to the extent that it may be contaminating food or feed at levels of regulatory concern.
