Popis: A Rebuttable Presumption Against Registration (RPAR) was issued for chlorobenzilate (CB) in May, 1976 (BOYD 1978). In June, 1978 a Notice of Determination was published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency because the presumptive cancer r isk associated with exposure to the acaricide had not been adequately negated by assessment and research. By February, 1979 a Notice of Intent to cancel a l l non-citrus uses of CB was issued. Use of chlorobenzilate was thereby l imited to c i t rus crops grown in Texas, Cal i fornia and Florida. The conditions for reg is t ra t ion of CB were also made more str ingent : ( I ) i t was rec lass i f ied as a rest r ic ted use pest icide, (2) a new label indicat ing s t r i c t e r use conditions was required and (3) u t i l i za t i on of more effect ive protective clothing and equipment were recommended.
