II. Did EPA Conditionally Approve the Application?
A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C)
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on
condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional
registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set
forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional
registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects; and
that use of the pesticide is in the public interest. The Agency has
considered the available data on the risks associated with the proposed
use of Chondrostereum purpureum strain PFC 2139, Oil of Black Pepper,
Piperine, and information on social, economic, and environmental
benefits to be derived from such use. Specifically, the Agency has
considered the nature 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 Chondrostereum purpureum strain
PFC 2139, Oil of Black Pepper, and Piperine, during the period of
conditional registration will not cause any unreasonable adverse effect
on the environment, and that use of the pesticide is, in the public
interest.
Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA, the Agency has
determined that these conditional registrations are in the public
interest. Use of the pesticides are of significance to the user
community, and appropriate labeling, use directions, and other measures
have been taken to ensure that use of the pesticides will not result in
unreasonable adverse effects to man and the environment.
