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
[[Page 75805]]
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 tetraconazole, 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 tetraconazole
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.
