Correction
In FR Doc. 95-12566 published in the Federal Register of Wednesday,
May 24, 1995, beginning on page 27505, in the 2nd column, fourth line
from the top, the sentence ``EPA has determined that all currently
registered products subject to reregistration containing these active
ingredients are eligible for reregistration.'', is corrected to read as
follows: ``EPA has determined that all currently registered products
subject to reregistration containing Metolachlor are eligible for
reregistration except those with uses for potatoes, soybeans, and
peanuts. An eligibility decision for these uses cannot be made at this
time because under current policies, section 409 tolerances under the
Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) are needed because
Metolachlor concentrates in some of the processed fractions of these
crops and such tolerances may be barred by the Delaney Clause. EPA has
determined that all currently registered products subject to
reregistration containing Linuron are eligible for reregistration
except for the use of Linuron on cotton, potato, non-cropland (rights-
of-way), and sweet corn until additional generic data are submitted.
The Agency is unable to make a reregistration eligibility decision on
the use of Linuron on potatoes because under current policies
tolerances under section 409 of the (FFDCA) are needed for this use,
but such a tolerance may be barred by the Delaney clause in section
409.''
There are no changes regarding Ethephon.
