	The teleconference was held at the request of NPCA.  NPCA requested the
meeting to ask whether EPA would reopen the comment period on the
proposal.  

	EPA explained that it did not intend to reopen the comment period due
to a court ordered deadline for completion of the final rule, and had
made no decision regarding how it would handle any late comments.  

NPCA reiterated concerns about the application of FIFRA which it had
previously raised in written comments.  EPA indicated that it would
review the written comments.
