SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Electronic Availability: Electronic copy of this document is available 
from the EPA home page at the Federal Register-Environmental Documents 
entry for this document under ``Laws and Regulations'' (http://
www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).
    EPA received applications from Bayer Inc., 8400 Hawthorne Road, 
P.O. Box 4913, Kansas City, MO 64120-0013, to amend the pesticide 
products Folicur 3.6 F and Elite 45 DF, foliar fungicides (EPA 
Registration Numbers 3125-394 and 3125-388), containing the active 
ingredient tebuconazole, <greek-a>-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-
<greek-a>-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol at 38.7% and 
45% respectively, an active ingredient which involves a changed use 
pattern of the products. However, since the notice of receipt of these 
applications to register the products as required by section 3(c)(4) of 
FIFRA, as amended did not publish in the Federal Register, interested 
parties may submit written comments within 30 days from the date of 
publication of this notice for these products. Comments and data may 
also be submitted electronically to: opp-docket@epamail.epa.gov.
    These applications were approved on January 8, 1999; in addition to 
the currently registered uses, these two products will be used as 
listed below:
    1. Folicur 3.6 F for control of specified diseases on grasses grown 
for seed (EPA Registration Number 3125-394).
    2. Elite 45 DF for control of specified diseases on grapes (EPA 
Registration Number 3125-388).
    The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated 
with the proposed use of tebuconazole, and information on social, 
economic, and environmental benefits to be derived from use. 
Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of the chemical 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

[[Page 40871]]

which show that use of tebuconazole when used in accordance with 
widespread and commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause 
unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
    In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved 
label, 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 available for public 
inspection in the Public Information and Records Integrity Branch, 
Information Resources and Services Division (7502C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 119, CM #2, 
Arlington, VA 22202 (703-305-5805). Requests for data must be made in 
accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and
