Diazinon; Receipt of Requests for Amendments and Cancellations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Several companies that manufacture diazinon (O,O-diethyl O-(2-
isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl) phosphorothioate) pesticide products

[[Page 588]]

have asked EPA to cancel or amend the registrations for their end-use 
products containing diazinon to delete all indoor uses, certain 
agricultural uses and certain outdoor non-agricultural uses. Pursuant 
to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is announcing the Agency's receipt of 
these requests. These requests for voluntary termination of the above 
mentioned uses through registration cancellations or amendments were 
submitted to EPA in July, August, September, and October 2001. EPA 
intends to grant these requests by issuing a cancellation order at the 
close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency 
receives substantive comments within the comment period that would 
merit its further review of these requests. Upon the issuance of the 
cancellation order, any distribution, sale, or use of diazinon products 
listed in this Notice will only be permitted if such distribution, 
sale, or use is consistent with the terms of that order.

DATES: Comments on the requested amendments to delete uses and the 
requested registration cancellations must be submitted to the address 
provided below and identified by docket control number OPP-34225F. 
Comments must be received on or before February 4, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail, electronically, or in 
person. Please follow the detailed instructions for each method as 
provided in Unit I. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure proper 
receipt by EPA, it is imperative that you identify docket control 
number OPP-34225F in the subject line on the first page of your 
response.

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

A. Background

    Certain registrants requested in letters dated June, August, and 
September 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 end-use 
registrations with indoor use and/or certain outdoor non-agricultural 
uses, and any other uses that the registrants do not wish to maintain. 
Pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is announcing the Agency's receipt of 
these requests. 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. The indoor uses and 
agricultural uses subject to cancellation are identified in List 1 
below:
List 1--Uses to be Canceled
    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 but not limited to food/
feed handling establishments, greenhouses, schools, residences, 
commercial buildings, museums, sports facilities, stores, warehouses 
and hospitals.
    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)*. (The Agency does not intend to 
disapprove or cancel any 24(c) Special Local Need registrations issued 
for the uses designated with an asterisk).
    As mentioned above, the requests announced in this Federal Register 
notice also include registration cancellations and/or amendments to 
terminate certain uses that the registrants do not wish to maintain. 
The specific requests are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this notice.
    EPA has begun the process of reviewing the requested amendments 
which cannot be finalized until the end of the public comment period 
and provided that no substantial comments need to be addressed. EPA 
also intends to grant the requested product and use cancellations by 
issuing a cancellation order at the close of the comment period for 
this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments 
within the comment period that would merit its further review of these 
requests.

    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any 
time, that EPA cancel any of their pesticide registrations. Section 
6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 30-day period in which 
the public may comment before the Agency may act on the request for 
voluntary cancellation. In addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA 
requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for 
voluntary termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the 
request, unless: (1) The registrants request a waiver of the comment 
period, or (2) the Administrator determines that continued use of the 
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment. 
In this case, all of the registrants have requested that EPA waive the 
180-day comment period. In light of this request, EPA is granting the 
request to waive the 180-day comment period and is providing a 30-day 
public comment period before taking action on the requested 
cancellations. Because of risk concerns posed by certain uses of 
diazinon, EPA intends to grant the requested cancellations at the close 
of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives 
any substantive comment within the comment period that would merit its 
further review of these requests.

C. Requests for Voluntary Amendments to Delete Uses From the 
Registrations of End-Use Products

    Pursuant to section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, the following companies 
have submitted a request to amend the registrations of their pesticide 
end-use products containing diazinon to delete certain uses from 
certain products. The following Table 2 identifies the registrants, the 
product registrations that they wish to amend, and the uses that they 
wish to delete through registration amendments.

    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any 
time, that their pesticide registrations be amended to delete one or 
more pesticide uses. The aforementioned companies have requested to 
amend their registrations and have requested that EPA waive the 180-day 
comment period. In light of this request, EPA is granting the request 
to waive the 180-day comment period and is providing a 30-day public 
comment period before taking action on the requested amendments to 
delete uses. Because of risk concerns posed by certain uses of 
diazinon, EPA intends to grant the requested amendments to delete uses 
at the close of the comment period for this announcement, unless the 
Agency receives any substantive comment within the comment period that 
would merit its further review of these requests.

III. Proposed Existing Stocks Provisions

    EPA received requests for voluntary cancellation of the diazinon 
registrations identified in Tables 1 and requests for amendments to 
terminate certain uses of the diazinon registrations identified in 
Table 2. Pursuant to section 6(f) of FIFRA, EPA intends to grant these 
requests by issuing a cancellation order at the end of the 30-day 
comment period unless the Agency receives any substantive comment 
within the comment period that would merit its further review of these 
requests. In the event that EPA issues a cancellation order, EPA 
intends to include in that order the existing stocks provisions set 
forth in this section. For purposes of that cancellation order, the 
term ``existing stocks'' will be defined, pursuant to EPA's existing 
stocks policy published in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 
29362), 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 
cancellation or amendment. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing 
stocks after the effective date of the cancellation order that the 
Agency intends to issue that is not consistent with the terms of that 
order will be considered a violation of section 12(a)(2)(K) and/or 
12(a)(1)(A) of FIFRA.
    EPA intends that the cancellation order includes the following 
existing stocks provisions:
    1. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on 
agricultural crops. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by the 
registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears 
instructions for use on the agricultural crops identified in List 1 
will not be lawful under FIFRA 1 year after the effective date of the 
cancellation order. Persons other than the registrant may continue to 
sell or distribute the existing stocks of any product listed in Table 1 
or 2 that bears instructions for any of the agricultural uses 
identified in List 1 after the effective date of the cancellation 
order. However, it is lawful to ship such stocks for export consistent 
with the requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, or to properly dispose of 
the existing stocks in accordance with all applicable law.
    2. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on 
outdoor non-agricultural sites. The distribution or sale of existing 
stocks by the registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that 
bears instructions for use on outdoor non-agricultural sites will not 
be lawful under FIFRA 1 year after the effective date of the 
cancellation order. Persons other than the registrant may continue to 
sell or distribute the existing stocks of any product listed in Table 
1or 2 that bears instructions for use on outdoor non-agricultural sites 
after the effective date of the cancellation order. However, it is 
lawful to ship such stocks for export consistent with the

requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, or to properly dispose of the 
existing stocks in accordance with all applicable law.
    3. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on 
indoor sites. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by the 
registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears 
instructions for use at or on any indoor sites (except mushroom 
houses), shall not be lawful under FIFRA as of the effective date of 
the cancellation order, except for shipping stocks for export 
consistent with the requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, or properly 
disposing of the existing stocks in accordance with all applicable law.
    4. Retail and other distribution or sale of existing stock of 
products for indoor use. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by 
any person other than the registrants of products listed in Table 1 or 
2 bearing instructions for any indoor uses except mushroom houses will 
not be lawful under FIFRA after December 31, 2002, except for shipping 
stocks for export consistent with the requirements of section 17 of 
FIFRA, or properly disposing of the existing stocks in accordance with 
all applicable law.
    5. Use of existing stocks. EPA intends to permit the use of 
existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 or 2 until such stocks 
are exhausted, provided such use is in accordance with the existing 
labeling of that product.
