II. Receipt of Requests to Cancel and Amend Registrations to Delete 
Uses

A. Background

    In a memorandum of agreement (Agreement) effective June 7, 2000, 
EPA and the basic manufacturers of the active ingredient chlorpyrifos 
agreed to several voluntary measures that will reduce the potential 
exposure to children associated with chlorpyrifos containing products. 
EPA initiated the negotiations with registrants after finding 
chlorpyrifos, as currently registered, was an exposure risk especially 
to children. As a result of the Agreement, registrants that hold the 
pesticide registrations of end-use products containing chlorpyrifos 
(who are in large part the customer of these basic manufacturers) have 
asked EPA to cancel or amend their registrations for these products. 
Pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA announced the Agency's receipt of these 
requests from the registrants by a Federal Register notice published on 
November 17, 2000 (65 FR 69518) (FRL-6753-3). With respect to the 
registration amendments, the registrants have asked EPA to amend end-
use product registrations to delete the following uses: all termite 
control uses (these will be phased out); all residential uses (except 
for ant and roach baits in child resistant packaging (CRP) and fire ant 
mound drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and 
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies); 
all indoor non-residential uses (except ship holds, industrial plants, 
manufacturing plants, food processing plants, containerized baits in 
CRP, and processed wood products treated during the manufacturing 
process at the manufacturing site or at the mill); all outdoor non-
residential

sites (except golf courses, road medians, industrial plant sites, fence 
posts, utility poles, railroad ties, landscape timbers, logs, pallets, 
wooden containers, poles, posts, processed wood products, manhole 
covers, and underground utility cable and conduits; and fire ant mound 
drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and 
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies); 
and use on post-bloom apple trees. In addition, the companies agreed to 
limit the maximum chlorpyrifos end-use dilution to 0.5% active 
ingredient (a.i.) for termiticide uses that will be phased out, limit 
the maximum label application rate for outdoor non-residential use on 
golf courses, road medians, and industrial plant sites to 1 lb/a.i. per 
acre, and either classify all new/amended chlorpyrifos products (except 
baits in CRP) as Restricted Use or package the products in large 
containers, depending on the formulation type, to ensure that remaining 
chlorpyrifos products are not available to homeowners. In return, EPA 
stated that with this Agreement, it had no current intention to 
initiate any cancellation or suspension proceedings under section 6(b) 
or 6(c) of FIFRA with respect to the issues addressed in the Agreement.
    In the Federal Register of November 17, 2000, EPA published a 
notice of the Agency's receipt of end-use product amendments and 
cancellations from registrants that hold the pesticide registrations 
containing chlorpyrifos (who are in large part the customer of the 
basic manufacturers). These requests were submitted as a result of the 
Memorandum of Agreement that was signed on June 7, 2000 between EPA and 
the basic manufacturers of chlorpyrifos. A copy of the Memorandum of 
Agreement that was signed on June 7, 2000 is located in docket control 
number OPP-34203D.

 B. Requests for Voluntary Cancellation of End-Use Products

    Pursuant to the Agreement and FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(A), several 
registrants have submitted requests for voluntary cancellation of 
registrations for their end-use products. The registrations for which 
cancellations were requested are identified in the following Table 1.

    In the Federal Register notice of November 17, 2000, EPA requested 
public comment on the voluntary cancellation and use deletion requests, 
and provided a 30-day comment period. The registrants requested that 
the Administrator waive the 180-day comment period provided under FIFRA 
section 6(f)(1)(C).

III. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to section 6(f) of FIFRA, EPA is approving the requested 
use deletions and the requested registration cancellations. 
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the registrations identified in 
Table 2 are hereby amended to delete the following uses: All post-
construction termite control uses, except spot and local treatment ( 
use of such products for spot and local treatment will be prohibited 
after December 31, 2002 by product labeling); all other termite control 
uses, effective December 31, 2004 (unless EPA has made a decision prior 
to that date that preconstruction use may continue); all residential 
uses (except for ant and roach baits in child resistant packaging (CRP) 
and fire ant mound drenches for public health purposes by licensed 
applicators and mosquito control for public health purposes by public 
health agencies); all indoor non-residential, non-agricultural uses 
(except ship holds, industrial plants, manufacturing plants, food 
processing plants, containerized baits in CRP, and processed wood 
products treated during the manufacturing process at the manufacturing 
site or at the mill); all outdoor non-residential, non-agricultural 
sites (except golf courses, road medians, industrial plant sites, fence 
posts, utility poles, railroad ties, landscape timbers, logs, pallets, 
wooden containers, poles, posts, processed wood products, manhole 
covers, and underground utility cable and conduits; and fire ant mound 
drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and 
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies); 
and use on post-bloom apple trees (except for tree trunk use). The 
Agency also orders that the registrations identified in Table 1 are 
hereby canceled. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of 
the products identified in Tables 1-2 in a manner inconsistent with the 
terms of this Order or the Existing Stock Provisions in Unit IV. of 
this notice will be considered a violation of section 12(a)(2)(K) of 
FIFRA and/or section 12(a)(1)(A) of FIFRA.

IV. Existing Stocks Provisions

    For purposes of this Order, the term existing stocks is defined, 
pursuant to EPA's existing stocks policy (56 FR 29362, June 26, 1991), 
as those stocks of a registered pesticide product which are currently 
in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and 
released for shipment prior to the effective date of the amendment or 
cancellation.
    1. Distribution, sale and use of products bearing instructions for 
use on apples trees post-bloom. The distribution or sale of existing 
stocks by any person of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears 
instructions for post-bloom application to apple trees (other than tree 
trunk use) will not be lawful under FIFRA after [insert date of 
publication in the Federal Register], except for the purposes of 
returns for relabeling consistent with the June 7, 2000 Memorandum of 
Agreement, shipping such stocks for export consistent with the 
requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, or proper disposal. Any use of 
such products for post-bloom application to apple trees (other than 
tree trunk use) will not be lawful after [insert date of publication in 
the Federal Register]. All other use of such products may continue 
until stocks are exhausted, provided such use is in accordance with the 
existing labeling of that product.
    2. Distribution or sale by registrants of products bearing other
