Diazinon; Products Cancellation Order

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  This notice announces EPA's cancellation order for the 
product and use cancellations as requested by companies (hereafter 
collectively referred to as the ``EUP Registrants'') that hold the 
registrations of pesticide End-Use Products (EUPs) containing the 
active ingredient diazinon and accepted by EPA, pursuant to section 
6(f) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA). This order follows up a September 13, 2001, notice of receipt 
from the EUP Registrants, of requests for cancellations and or 
amendments of their diazinon product registrations to terminate all 
indoor uses, certain agricultural uses and certain outdoor non-
agricultural uses. In the September 13, 2001 notice, EPA indicated that 
it would issue an order granting the voluntary product and use 
registration cancellations unless the Agency received any substantive 
comment within the comment period that would merit its further review 
of these requests. The Agency did receive one request from an EUP 
registrant revoking its voluntary cancellation requests for two 
products. No other comments were received. Accordingly, EPA hereby 
issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the remaining 
requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products 
subject to this cancellation order is only permitted in accordance with 
the terms of the existing stocks provisions of this cancellation order.

DATES: The cancellations are effective November 15, 2001.

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

A. Background

    Certain registrants requested in letters dated May, June and August 
2001, that their diazinon registrations be amended to delete all indoor 
uses, certain agricultural uses, and any other uses that the 
registrants do not wish to maintain. The requests also included 
deletions of outdoor non-agricultural uses from the labeling of certain 
end-use products so that such products would be labeled for 
agricultural uses only. Similarly, other diazinon end-use registrants 
requested voluntary cancellation of their diazinon EUP registrations 
with indoor use and/or certain outdoor non-agricultural uses, and any 
other uses that the registrants do not wish to maintain. EPA announced 
its receipt of these above-mentioned cancellation requests in a Federal 
Register notice dated September 13, 2001.
    These requested cancellations and amendments are consistent with 
the requests in December 2000, by the manufacturers of diazinon 
technical products, and EPA's approval of such requests, to terminate 
all indoor uses and certain agricultural uses from their diazinon 
product registrations because of EPA's concern with the potential 
exposure risk, especially to children, associated with diazinon 
containing products. The indoor uses and agricultural uses subject to 
cancellation are identified in the following List.
    List -- Uses Requested for Termination
    1. Indoor uses: Pet collars, or inside any structure or vehicle, 
vessel, or aircraft or any enclosed area, and/or on any contents 
therein (except mushroom houses), including food/feed handling 
establishments, greenhouses, schools, residences, museums, sports 
facilities, stores, warehouses and hospitals.
    2. Agricultural uses: Alfalfa, bananas, Bermuda grass, dried beans, 
dried peas, celery, red chicory (radicchio), citrus, clover, coffee, 
cotton, cowpeas, cucumbers, dandelions, forestry (ground squirrel/
rodent burrow dust stations for public health use), kiwi, lespedeza, 
parsley, parsnips, pastures, peppers, potatoes (Irish and sweet), 
sheep, sorghum, squash (winter and summer), rangeland, Swiss chard, 
tobacco, and turnips (roots and tops).

    In today's Cancellation Order, EPA is approving the registrants' 
requested cancellations and amendments of the their diazinon end-use 
products registrations to terminate all uses identified in the List.

    The Agency received a request from the EUP registrant Prentiss 
Incorporated (EPA company number 655), revoking its voluntary 
cancellation requests for two products that were included in the 
September 13, 2001 notice. As a result, Prentox Liquid Household Spray 
#1 (EPA registration no. 655-419) and Prentox Diazinon 4E (EPA 
registration no. 655-457) are not included in this cancellation order. 
EPA did not receive any substantive comments that would merit further 
review expressing a need of diazinon products for indoor use. 
Accordingly, the Agency is issuing an

[[Page 57444]]

order in this notice canceling the registrations identified in Table 1, 
as requested by the EUP registrants.

C. Requests for Voluntary Amendments of End-Use Product Registrations 
to Terminate Certain Uses

     Pursuant to section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, many EUP registrants 
submitted requests to amend a number of their diazinon end-use product 
registrations to terminate the uses identified in the List, or any 
other uses as specified for each product in the September 13, 2001 
Diazinon 6(f) notice and reiterated in Table 2 below. EPA did not 
receive any comments expressing a need for any of the canceled uses. 
The registrations for which amendments to terminate specific uses were 
requested are identified in the following Table 2.
