In Part II of the List, there are added dinoterb and thiofanox, and two compounds of phosphorus (namely, dialifos and quinalphos). There are deleted from Part II of the List dinosam and those of its compounds specified in the List; fenaminosulf; fenazaflor; formetanate; and certain compounds of phosphorus.
