{ l ,, UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 H.R. McLane' 7210 Red Road. Suite 206 Miami, F.L. 33143~53-12 Dear Mr. McLane: October 24, 1997 OfFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES Subject: Amendment to the -letter' sent on Oct..ober 20, 19'97 that discussed the Confidential statement o£ Formula and label for AMVAC Chemical Co-rporation' s product Parathion ElM 6-3 (EPA Reg. No. 5481-437). The Agency . has again reviewed :'lQoU~~JlY,R"mi,,ssjqn of the ConfidentUiT -s-tatemerit -(CsF)--ofFoTmula- dated April 16, 1997 for the Parathion ElM 6-3 (EPA Reg. No. 5.'1.8.2--437) formulation, and the following comment.s. apply:

1. The % by weight should equal 100%. At this time it appears to equal 100.74., This is further .. discussed in item (4).
2. Amend the EPA registration. number from "4787-3" to "4787-17" for the ethyl parathion technical in your product.
3. The CSF should state the % of active ingredient; the % of related compounds in both technicals .. For example, methyl parathion contains 77% active ingredient; 3% related compounds; and 20% inerts. If the. prod1,lctcontains 36% methyl parachion Tas stated in the- CSF) ,then 36 x .77 = 27.72% of active ingredient. The related compounds would be 36 x .03 = 1.08%, then the inerts in methyl parathion would be 36 x .20 = 7.2%. The_toUll-of these, 27.72 + 1.08 .. 7.2 = 36. The same should be- specified f= the_ ethyl parathion technical which contains 95% active ingredient, 3% related compounds and 2% inerts. If-the product Contains 58.37 of parathion technical (as stated in the CSF), then 58.37 x .95 = 55.45% of active ingredient. The related compounds WOuld be 58.37 x .03 = 1.75%, then the inerts in ethyl parathion would be 58.37 x .02 = 1.17%. The total Q£ these, 55.45';' 1.75 + 1.17-~58.37.

I suggest that you make minor adjustments to the_components in the formulation to a=ive at 100%, Please make the changes noted above .. to, the label 'and CSF, then resubmi t them as soon as P9s'sible. Once I' ve received your updated CSF and label ti:Ll respond within a few days_ I realize that you may have questio:J.s about the above information, T can be reached at (703) 308-6742_ Sincerely yours, //-4 . ?~J Lawrence Fried, Biologist Insecticide-Rodenticide Branch Registration'Division (7S0SC)
