     As part of an interagency ``streamlining'' initiative, EPA
is experimenting with submission of public comments on selected
rulemaking actions electronically through the Internet in
addition to accepting comments in traditional written form.  This
Notice is one of the rulemaking actions selected by EPA for this
experiment.  From the experiment, EPA will learn how electronic
commenting works, and any problems that arise can be addressed
before EPA adopts electronic commenting more broadly in its
rulemaking activities.  Electronic commenting through posting to
the EPA Bulletin Board or through the Internet using the
ListServe function raise some novel issues discussed in the
information message of this ListServe.  

1. Title:  Atrazine, Simazine and Cyanazine; Special Review

2. Identification Numbers: OPP-30000-60; FRL-4919-5

3. Summary:  This notice announces that EPA is initiating a
Special Review on pesticide products containing the herbicides
atrazine, simazine and cyanazine. Atrazine
[2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], simazine
[2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine] and cyanazine
[2-((4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-s-triazine-2-yl)amino)-2-methylpropi
onitrile] will be collectively referred to hereafter in this
Notice as the triazines. The triazines are widely used herbicides
that control many broadleaf weeds and some grasses. All three are
used on corn and may be alternatives for each other in some
situations. Other uses include citrus, nut orchards (simazine),
sugarcane and sorghum (atrazine) and cotton (cyanazine). Based on
?
laboratory animal data, EPA has concluded that these three
triazine compounds are possible human carcinogens and has
determined that exposure to the triazines in the diet (food and
drinking water) may pose risks of concern. EPA has also

determined that exposure to the triazines in the diet (food and
drinking water) may pose risks of concern. EPA has also
determined that exposure to these triazines may pose risks of
concern to applicators and mixer/loaders who use products
containing one or more of these chemicals and to the public who
may use home lawncare products containing atrazine. Accordingly,
the Agency has concluded that products containing atrazine,
simazine and cyanazine meet or exceed the criteria for initiation
of Special Review set forth in 40 CFR 154.7(a)(2) and that a
Special Review of these products is appropriate to determine
whether additional regulatory actions are required.
 
     The Agency is concerned about the potential ecological
impacts of ground and surface water contamination resulting from
the use of products containing the triazines. Such contamination
may have the potential to cause adverse effects to aquatic
organisms, terrestrial plants and their ecosystems. The Agency is
not including ecological effects as a trigger in this Special
Review at this time. This does not preclude the Agency from
incorporating ecological effects in this Special Review in the
future should the consideration of additional information
indicate that a review would be appropriate.

                          UNIX ListServer 6.0

Here is a brief description of the set of requests recognized by UNIX
ListServer. Everything appearing in [] below is optional; everything appearing
in <> is mandatory; all arguments are case insensitive. The vertical bar ("|")
is used as a logical OR operator between the arguments. Requests may be
abbreviated, but you must specify at least the first three characters.

Keep in mind that when referring to a <list>, that list may be of two kinds:
local or remote, unless otherwise noted. When referring to a local list, your
request will be immediately processed; when referring to a remote list (a list
served by another ListServer which this system knows about), your request will
be appropriately forwarded. Issue a 'lists' request to get a listing of all
local and known remote lists to this ListServer.

Recognized requests are:

help [topic]
--------------
Without arguments, this file. Otherwise get specific information on the
selected topic. Topics may also refer to requests. To learn more about this
system issue a 'help listserver' request. To get a listing of all available
topics, generate an error message by sending a bogus request like 'help me'.


set <list> [<option> <arg[s]>]
-----------------------------
Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current settings for
the specified list. Otherwise change the option to a new value for that
list. Issue a 'help set' request for more information.


subscribe <list> <your name>
----------------------------
The only way to subscribe to a list. 


unsubscribe <list>
signoff <list>
------------------
Two ways of removing yourself from the specified list.


recipients <list>
review <list>
-----------------
Get a listing of all non-concealed people subscribed to the specified list.


information <list>
------------------
Get information about the specified list.


lists
-----
Get a list of all local mailing lists that are served by this server, as well
as of all known remote lists.


index [archive | path-to-archive] [/password] [-all]
----------------------------------------------------
Get a list of files in the selected archive, or the master archive if no
archive was specified. If an archive is private, you have to provide its
password as well.


get <archive | path-to-archive> <file> [/password] [parts]
 ----------------------------------------------------------
Get the requested file from the specified archive. Files are usually split in
parts locally, and in such a case you will receive the file in multiple email
messages -- an 'index' request tells you how many parts the file has been split
into, and their sizes; if you need to obtain certain parts, specify them as
optional arguments. If an archive is private, you have to provide its password
as well.

search <archive | path-to-archive>] [/password] [-all] <pattern>
----------------------------------------------------------------
Search all files of the specified archive (and all of its subarchives if -all
is specified) for lines that match the pattern. The pattern can be an
egrep(1)-style regular expression with support for the following additional
operators: '~' (negation), '|' and '&' (logical OR and AND), '<' '>' (group
regular expressions). The pattern may be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Note: . matches any character including new line.
