Summary
The organophosphate active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos and associated end-use products were proposed for re-evaluation under Section 19 of the Pest Control Products (PCP) Regulations in June 1999.
As a result of the re-evaluation, it is proposed that uses of tetrachlorvinphos on livestock (beef cattle, dairy cattle and poultry), domestic animals (cats and dogs) and their bedding and living quarters, and non-food uses (farm buildings, dairy barns, poultry houses, swine barns, livestock manure and refuse in barns) do not entail an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment pursuant to Section 20, provided that the proposed mitigation measures described in this document are implemented. For tick control in outdoor living areas (campgrounds, backyards, picnic areas, recreational areas, etc.), the registrant agreed to voluntarily remove this use from the label.
This Proposed Acceptability for Continuing Registration (PACR) document provides a summary of the data reviewed and the rationale for the proposed regulatory decision for tetrachlorvinphos.
