The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of recent or impending pesticide use cancellations, tolerance revocations and other items of agricultural interest. To the best of our knowledge, the uses mentioned here, unless otherwise indicated, will not appear on any label registered by the USEPA following the uses expected cancellation. We recommend that you express any concerns or questions you have to the contact mentioned below or your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative. If you wish to contact us at USDA, our phone number is (301) 504-8846, and our fax number is (301) 504-8063.
Avitrol Corporation plans to allow its toxicant, Ornitrol, to be canceled as of 11/23/93. It is registered for use on AGRICULTURAL PREMISES for pigeon control. They feel the cost of reregistration does not justify continued registration. The registrant will be allowed to sell and distribute their product for 1-year following cancellation; users and retailers will be allowed to use and sell this product until existing stocks are exhausted.

Miles Inc. has requested, as of 10/1/93, the voluntary cancellation of all uses of its insecticide-miticide, Metasystox-R. Following the USEPA acceptance of this action, it is unlikely there will be any registrations left for oxydemeton-methyl. It is presently registered on the sites listed here:
ALFALFA(SEED), APPLES(ORN-NB), APRICOTS(NB), BEANS, BEANS(LIMA), BEANS(SNAP), BROCCOLI, BROCCOLI RAAB(CA only), BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CABBAGE, CABBAGE(CHINESE), CANTALOUPES, CAULIFLOWER, CHERRIES(NB), CHRISTMAS TREES(MI, NC, OH and WA only) CITRUS(NB), CLOVER, CORN, CORN(FIELD), CORN(POP), CORN(SWEET), CRABAPPLES(NB), CUCUMBERS, COTTON, DOUGLAS-FIR(OR and WA only), EGGPLANT, FILBERTS(OR and WA only), FLOWERING PLANTS(ORN), GRAPEFRUIT, GRAPES(NB), LEMONS, LETTUCE(HEAD), MELONS, MUSKMELONS, NECTARINES(NB), NURSERY STOCK(OR and WA only), ONIONS(BULB), ONIONS(SPANISH), ORANGES, PEACHES(NB), PEARS, PECANS(NB), PEPPERMINT, PEPPERS, PLUMS(NB), PRUNES(NB), PUMPKINS, QUINCES(NB), SAFFLOWER, SHRUBS(ORN), SORGHUM(GRAIN), SPEARMINT, SQUASH, SQUASH(SUMMER), SQUASH(WINTER), STRAWBERRIES(OR and WA only), SUGAR BEETS, TREES(ORN), TURNIPS, WALNUTS, and WATERMELONS. (NB = nonbearing, ORN = ornamental, CA = California, MI = Michigan, NC = North Carolina, OH = Ohio, OR = Oregon, and WA = Washington State)

The USEPA has revoked the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for the seven inert ingredients at the left in or on raw agricultural commodities resulting from the application of pesticide products. The proposal for this action was reported here on 2/5/93. The USEPA has indicated that no public comments were received in response to the proposed rule. This revocation is effective as of 10/21/93. Written comments or a request for a hearing, with reference to OPP-300258A, should be addressed to the Hearing Clerk at EPA by 11/21/93.

The USEPA has proposed the revocation of all tolerances for residues of carbophenothion. This insecticide and miticide was canceled in 1989. Because existing stocks are believed to be depleted, and treated agricultural commodities are believed to have passed through the channels of trade, no action levels will be recommended to replace the tolerances upon their revocation. Carbophenothion was registered for use on over 60 sites. Written comments, identified by OPP-300297, should be sent to the Public Response Branch of EPA by 11/22/93.
