EPA CANCELS REGISTRATIONS 



In 1966, a presidential science advisory committee recommended to the Food and Drug 

 Administration that tolerances be established for pesticides, based on the actual 

 residues that could be found on the food by new methods of detection. Holders of 

 registrations for these chemicals were asked to submit petitions setting forth the 

 data necessary to establish tolerances. The registrations that were cancelled were 

 ones held by companies that had failed to submit these data. 



The fungicides with cancelled registrations are: 



Morocide, produced by the Niagra Chemical Division of the Food Machinery and Chemi- 

 cal Corporation. Morocide cannot be used on plums or on fresh prunes. 



Karathane , produced by the Rohm and Haas Company. Kara thane cannot be used on goose- 

 berries , raspberries , or strawberries. 



These two products are only banned for use on the crops mentioned above.
