EPA has determined that, with one exception, uses of pesticide products containing pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), and MGK-264 are eligible for reregistration, provided that risk mitigation measures identified in the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) documents are adopted and product labels are amended accordingly. EPA will continue to work with stakeholders to implement label changes as quickly as possible given the large number of products affected. Pyrethrins dust applications with power dusters are not eligible for reregistration. Tolerances (residue limits in food and feed) have been reassessed for these pesticides and found to meet safety standards established by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). The Agency requests public comments on these decision documents during a 90-day period ending on October 24, 2006.
First registered in the late 1940s and 1950s, pyrethrins, PBO, and MGK-264 are used to control many types of flying and crawling insects and arthropods. Pyrethrins are often formulated with synergists, such as PBO and MGK-264, which extend the pyrethrins? insecticidal effects. PBO and MGK-264 are included as synergists in hundreds of pesticide products, but there are no products that contain only the active ingredient PBO or MGK-264. Pyrethrins, PBO, and MGK-264 are registered for use in residential, commercial, and industrial sites. Pyrethrins and PBO also have less significant agricultural uses, as well as public health uses in wide-area mosquito abatement programs.
Pyrethrins, PBO, and MGK-264 raise residential post-application risk concerns for adults and/or children, including exposures following broadcast dust applications to carpets and applications from indoor metered release devices. Pyrethrins and PBO also pose risks following applications from outdoor residential misting systems. MGK-264 also poses risks following indoor spray applications, indoor aerosol space spraying, dust application to pets, and use of insect repellents. To address these residential risks, mitigation measures include: -- Restrict carpet dust applications to spot treatments only. -- Prohibit use of products in metered release devices in residential areas, and remove day-care centers, nursing homes, schools, and hospitals from product labels. -- For pyrethrins and PBO, restrict use of outdoor residential misting systems by establishing a maximum use rate and precautionary label statements. -- For MGK-264, prohibit use of outdoor residential misting systems. -- For MGK-264, also phase out all dust products used on pets; reduce application rates for repellents, indoor sprays, and aerosol space sprays; and require an aerosol spray study at the reduced application rate.
Pyrethrins, PBO, and MGK-264 also pose occupational and ecological risks. To address risks to workers, mitigation measures include reduced application rates, changes in application methods or product formulations, and improved protective clothing or equipment. -- For all three pesticides, prohibit power dusters as an application method. -- For pyrethrins and PBO, repackage all wettable powders in water soluble bags. -- For pyrethrins and PBO, applicators using hand-held foggers indoors must use specified dust-mist respirators.
To address risks to aquatic and terrestrial organisms, mitigation measures include reducing the amount and/or frequency of outdoor sprays and agricultural applications. -- For MGK-264, reduce outdoor spray application rate from 2.2 lbs a.i./acre to 0.3 lbs a.i./acre. -- For pyrethrins and PBO, update agricultural product labels to specify: -- No more than 10 applications per season. -- Do not reapply within 3 days, except under extreme pest pressure. -- In case of extreme pest pressure, do not reapply within 24 hours. --For pyrethrins, update all wide-area mosquito abatement labels.
Pyrethrins are botanical insecticides that come from the pyrethrum flower, Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Because pyrethrins are costly to produce and unstable in sunlight, many similar synthetic compounds, known as synthethic pyrethroids, have been developed. Although all pyrethrins and pyrethroids show some similarity in their effects on nerve function, EPA is not currently following a cumulative risk approach for these chemicals. When ongoing research is concluded in 2007, the Agency will consider it in determining whether a common mechanism will be a basis for assessing cumulative risk for the pyrethrins and pyrethroids.
EPA's July 26, 2006, Federal Register notices announcing the availability of the RED documents for the pyrethrins, PPO and MGK-264 arevailable on our website at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/. Comments must be received by the Agency by October 24, 2006. The three REDs and related documents are available at http://www.regulations.gov in the following dockets: -- Pyrethrins: EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0043 -- Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO): EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0042 -- MGK-264: EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0040 REDs also are available on the reregistration status table at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/status.htm.

Commercial uses of MGK-264 include application to non-food plants, applications in food and non-food handling commercial and agricultural structures and outdoor premises, housing for veterinary and farm animals, and direct application to veterinary and non-food animals. Residentially, it is used to control insects both inside the home, as well as outside on gardens, lawns and ornamentals, patiosand other outdoor structures. No agricultural crop uses of MGK-264 are being supported, and MGK-264 is not used in wide area mosquito abatement programs.
