repellent (EPA File Symbol 70061-R), containing the new active
ingredient fish oil at 11.6 percent, an active ingredient not included
in any previously registered product.
The application was approved on March 6, 1998, as Game Stop, (EPA
Registration Number 70061-1) for terrestrial use application of liquid
formulation to foliage and twigs of trees, shrubs, and ornamental
plants which are fed upon by rabbits and deer. (S. Moats)
EPA also published a notice in the Federal Register of October 30,
1997 (62 FR 58729) (FRL-5751-4), which announced that Engelhard
Corporation, 101 Wood Avenue, Iselin, NJ 08830, had submitted

the active ingredient kaolin at 99.4, 100, and 98.8 percent
respectively, an active ingredient not included in any previously

The applications for these products were approved on March 17,
1998, as M-97-002 Kaolin, M-97-009 Kaolin, and M-97-018 Kaolin, as a
broad spectrum agricultural repellent/protectant for controlling damage
to crops from various insects, mites, fungal, and bacterial diseases
(EPA Registration Numbers 70060-2, 70060-1, and 70060-3), respectively.
(D. Benmhend)
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of fish oil and kaolin, 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 safety determinations which show that use of fish oil
and kaolin when used in accordance with widespread and commonly
recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse
effects to the environment.
More detailed information on these registrations is contained in an
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on fish oil and kaolin.
A copy of these fact sheets, which provide a summary description of
the pesticides, use patterns and formulations, science findings, and
the Agency's regulatory position and rationale, may be obtained from
the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal
Road, Springfield, VA 22161.

label, the list of data references, the data and other scientific
