available data on the risks associated
with the proposed use of spirotetramat,
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this notice if you register pesticide
products intended for residential uses
under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). Since other entities may also
be interested, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action. If you have any questions

II. Background
A. What action is the agency taking?
The Agency is announcing the
issuance of a Pesticide Registration
Notice (PR–2011–1) that addresses the
data development efforts of the
Residential Exposure Joint Venture
(REJV). When registering or periodically
reviewing an existing registration, the
Agency evaluates the potential risks to
people from exposure to the pesticide in
and around the home. The REJV was
formed to develop information on the
actual use patterns of residential
pesticides that can be used by EPA, and
other regulatory agencies responsible for
assuring the safety of pesticides. The
purpose of the PR Notice is to describe
what data the REJV plans to generate, to
describe how EPA expects to use the
data, and to inform registrants of the
opportunity to join REJV.
B. What is the agency’sauthority for
taking this action?
The PR Notice discussed in this
notice is intended to provide
information to EPA personnel and
decision makers and to pesticide
registrants. While the requirements in
the statutes and Agency regulations are
binding on EPA and the applicants, this
PR Notice is not binding on either EPA
or pesticide registrants, and EPA may
depart from the guidance where
circumstances warrant and without
prior notice. Likewise, pesticide
registrants may assert that the guidance
is not appropriate generally or not
applicable to a specific pesticide or
situation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
Crop production (NAICS code 111).
Animal production (NAICS code 112).
Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?
1. Docket. EPA has established a docket for this action under
docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0130. Publicly
available docket materials are available either in the electronic
docket at https://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public
Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal
Dr., Arlington, VA. The hours of operation of this Docket Facility are
from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The Docket Facility telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved
labels, the list of data references, the data and other scientific
information used to support registration, except for material
specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are also available for
public inspection. Requests for data must be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and must be addressed
to the Freedom of Information Office (A-101), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. Such requests should: Identify the
product name and registration number and specify the data or
information desired.
A paper copy of the fact sheet, which provides more detail on this
registration, may be obtained from the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161.
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 spirotetramat, 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 spirotetramat 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.
III. Approved Applications
EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of February
26, 2010 (75 FR 8939) (FRL-8812-8), which announced that Bayer
CropScience and Bayer Environmental Science had submitted applications
to register the pesticide products, Spirotetramat Technical, Movento,
BYI 8330 150 OD Insecticide, Ultor, and Spirotetramat 240 SC Greenhouse
& Nursery Insecticide/Miticide, for control of insect pests, (EPA File
Symbols 264-RNUO, 264-RNLN, 264-RNLR, 264-RNAL, and 432-RUTR),
containing 97.37%, 22.4%, 15.3%, 14.5%, and 22.4% active ingredient
respectively. These products were previously registered in 2008, but
the registrations were vacated by court order on December 23, 2009, due
to lack of publication of a notice of receipt of the registration
applications in the Federal Register under section 3(c)(4) of FIFRA. As
a result of the vacatur, EPA treated Bayer's earlier-filed applications
for registration as then-pending before the Agency.
The applications were conditionally approved on October 15, 2010,
as Spirotetramat Technical, Movento, BYI 8330 150 OD Insecticide,
Ultor, and Spirotetramat 240 SC Greenhouse & Nursery Insecticide/

1471 respectively) for insect control on citrus, grapes, pome fruit,
stone fruit, tree nuts, hops, Christmas tree plantations, vegetables
except cucurbits, potato, greenhouses, nurseries, and interiorscapes.
