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 after those uses are canceled. We recommend that you express any concerns or questions you have to the contact mentioned below or to your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative. If you wish to contact us at USDA, our phone number is 301-504-8846, our fax number is 301-504-8063, and our email address is ksmith@asrr.arsusda.gov.
Ciba Crop Protection is currently marketing and will continue to market products for POTATOES, SOYBEANS, and PEANUTS on their Dual label. Any implication otherwise in the last copy of the RNN was unintended. Despite EPA's failure to endorse these products for reregistration at this time, there is no expected interuption in the availability of these products for the foreseeable future.

The USEPA has proposed that the exemptions for sodium propionate be revoked because there are no registrations for pesticide products containing this active ingredient. The last registrations for sodium propionate were canceled in 1986. This fungicide was registered for use on stored grain and stored hay. Written comments, mentioning OPP-300389, should be sent to the Public Response Branch of EPA by 7/28/95.

The registrants plan to maintain rotenone uses for fish control in RESERVOIRS, LAKES, PONDS, and STREAMS, and flea, tick, lice, and mite control on DOGS and CATS. They will reconsider the plans for deletion if someone is willing to develop the necessary data for reregistration.

DuPont Agricultural Products plans to voluntarily delete PECANS from their labels of terbacil (Sinbar) due to the cost of reregistration. DuPont, the only registrant of this herbicide, is currently submitting this request to the USEPA. They are willing to consider maintaining this use if another party develops the data required for reregistration.
