Intent to Suspend Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of issuance of notice of intent to suspend.

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

[[Page 69401]]

SUMMARY: This Notice, pursuant to section 6(f)(2) of the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et 
seq., announces that EPA issued Notices of Intent to Suspend pursuant 
to section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA. The Notices of Intent to Suspend were 
issued following issuance of Data Call-In Notices (DCI). The DCIs 
required registrants of products containing captan and DCPA used as an 
active ingredient to develop and submit certain data. These data were 
determined to be necessary to maintain the continued registration of 
affected products. Failure to comply with the data requirements of a 
DCI is a basis for suspension under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA. This 
Notice includes the text of the Notices of Intent to Suspend issued to 
Riverdale Chemical Company and Voluntary Purchasing Group. As required 
by section 6(f)(2), the Notices of Intent to Suspend were sent by 
certified mail, return receipt requested to each affected registrant at 
its address of record.

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-

SUBJECT: Suspension of Registration of Pesticide Product(s) 
Containing ____ for Failure to Comply with the ____ Section 4 Phase 
5 Reregistration Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice Issued 
____

Dear Sir/Madam:
    This letter gives you notice that the pesticide product 
registration(s) listed in Attachment I will be suspended 30 days 
from your receipt of this letter unless you take steps within that 
time to prevent this Notice from automatically becoming a final and 
effective order of suspension. The Agency's authority for suspending 
the registrations of your products is section 3(c)(2)(B) of the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Upon 
becoming a final and effective order of suspension, any violation of 
the order will be an unlawful act under section 12(a)(2)(J) of 
FIFRA.
    You are receiving this Notice of Intent to Suspend because you 
have failed to comply with the terms of the 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In 
Notice. The specific basis for issuance of this Notice is stated in 
the Explanatory Appendix (Attachment III) to this Notice. The 
affected product(s) and the requirement(s) which you failed to 
satisfy are listed and described in the following three attachments:
    Attachment I Suspension Report - Product List
    Attachment II Suspension Report - Requirement List
    Attachment III Suspension Report - Explanatory Appendix
    The suspension of the registration of each product listed in 
Attachment I will become final unless at least one of the following 
actions is completed.
    1. You may avoid suspension under this Notice if you or another 
person adversely affected by this Notice properly request a hearing 
within 30 days of your receipt of this Notice. If you request a 
hearing, it will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 
section 6(d) of FIFRA and the Agency's Procedural Regulations in 40 
CFR part 164.
    Section 3(c)(2)(B), however, provides that the only allowable 
issues which may be addressed at the hearing are whether you have 
failed to take the actions which are the bases of this Notice and 
whether the Agency's decision regarding the disposition of existing 
stocks is consistent with FIFRA. Therefore, no substantive 
allegation or legal argument concerning other issues, including but 
not limited to the Agency's original decision to require the 
submission of data or other information, the need for or utility of 
any of the required data or other information or deadlines imposed, 
any allegations of errors or unfairness in any proceedings before an 
arbitrator, and the risks and benefits associated with continued 
registration of the affected product, may be considered in the 
proceeding. The Administrative Law Judge shall by order dismiss any 
objections which have no bearing on the allowable issues which may 
be considered in the proceeding.
    Section 3(c)(2)(B)(iv) of FIFRA provides that any hearing must 
be held and a determination issued within 75 days after receipt of a 
hearing request. This 75-day period may not be extended unless all 
parties in the proceeding stipulate to such an extension. If a 
hearing is properly requested, the Agency will issue a final order 
at the

[[Page 69402]]

conclusion of the hearing governing the suspension of your 
product(s).
    A request for a hearing pursuant to this Notice must: (1) 
include specific objections which pertain to the allowable issues 
which may be heard at the hearing, (2) identify the registrations 
for which a hearing is requested, and (3) set forth all necessary 
supporting facts pertaining to any of the objections which you have 
identified in your request for a hearing. If a hearing is requested 
by any person other than the registrant, that person must also state 
specifically why he asserts that he would be adversely affected by 
the suspension action described in this Notice. Three copies of the 
request must be submitted to:
    Hearing Clerk, 1900
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
    Washington, DC 20460
An additional copy should be sent to the signatory listed below. The 
request must be received by the Hearing Clerk by the 30th day from 
your receipt of this Notice in order to be legally effective. The 
30-day time limit is established by FIFRA and cannot be extended for 
any reason. Failure to meet the 30-day time limit will result in 
automatic suspension of your registration(s) by operation of law 
and, under such circumstances, the suspension of the registration 
for your affected product(s) will be final and effective at the 
close of business 30 days after your receipt of this Notice and will 
not be subject to further administrative review.
    The Agency's Rules of Practice at 40 CFR 164.7 forbid anyone who 
may take part in deciding this case, at any stage of the proceeding, 
from discussing the merits of the proceeding ex parte with any party 
or with any person who has been connected with the preparation or 
presentation of the proceeding as an advocate or in any 
investigative or expert capacity, or with any of their 
representatives. Accordingly, the following EPA offices, and the 
staffs thereof, are designated as judicial staff to perform the 
judicial function of EPA in any administrative hearings on this 
Notice of Intent to Suspend: the Office of the Administrative Law 
Judges, the Office of the Environmental Appeals Board, the 
Administrator, the Deputy Administrator, and the members of the 
staff in the immediate offices of the Administrator and Deputy 
Administrator. None of the persons designated as the judicial staff 
shall have any ex parte communication with trial staff or any other 
interested person not employed by EPA on the merits of any of the 
issues involved in this proceeding, without fully complying with the 
applicable regulations.
    2. You may also avoid suspension if, within 30 days of your 
receipt of this Notice, the Agency determines that you have taken 
appropriate steps to comply with the section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In 
Notice. In order to avoid suspension under this option, you must 
satisfactorily comply with Attachment II, Requirement List, for each 
product by submitting all required supporting data/information 
described in Attachment II and in the Explanatory Appendix 
(Attachment III) to the following address (preferably by certified 
mail):
    Office of Compliance (2225A)
    Agriculture Division
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
    Washington, DC 20460
    For you to avoid automatic suspension under this Notice, the 
Agency must also determine within the applicable 30-day period that 
you have satisfied the requirements that are the bases of this 
Notice and so notify you in writing. You should submit the necessary 
data/information as quickly as possible for there to be any chance 
the Agency will be able to make the necessary determination in time 
to avoid suspension of your product(s).
    The suspension of the registration(s) of your company's 
product(s) pursuant to this Notice will be rescinded when the Agency 
determines you have complied fully with the requirements which were 
the bases of this Notice. Such compliance may only be achieved by 
submission of the data/information described in the attachments to 
the signatory below.
    Your product will remain suspended, however, until the Agency 
determines you are in compliance with the requirements which are the 
bases of this Notice and so informs you in writing.
    After the suspension becomes final and effective, the registrant 
subject to this Notice, including all supplemental registrants of 
product(s) listed in Attachment I, may not legally distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.
    Persons other than the registrant subject to this Notice, as 
defined in the preceding sentence, may continue to distribute, sell, 
use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 
receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver, to any 
person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I.
    Nothing in this Notice authorizes any person to distribute, 
sell, use, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for 
shipment, or receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to 
deliver, to any person, the product(s) listed in Attachment I in any 
manner which would have been unlawful prior to the suspension.
    If the registration(s) for your product(s) listed in Attachment 
I are currently suspended as a result of failure to comply with 
another section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice or Section 4 Data 
Requirements Notice, this Notice, when it becomes a final and 
effective order of suspension, will be in addition to any existing 
suspension, i.e., all requirements which are the bases of the 
suspension must be satisfied before the registration will be 
reinstated.
    You are reminded that it is your responsibility as the basic 
registrant to notify all supplementary registered distributors of 
your basic registered product that this suspension action also 
applies to their supplementary registered products and that you may 
be held liable for violations committed by your distributors.
    If you have any questions about the requirements and procedures 
set forth in this suspension notice or in the subject section 
3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice, please contact Frances Liem at (202) 
564-2365.

Sincerely yours,

Director, Agriculture Division, Office of Compliance.

VI. Attachment III Suspension Report-Explanatory Appendix

    The Explanatory Appendix provides a discussion of the basis for the 
Notice of Intent to Suspend issued herewith.

A. Captan

    On November 2, 1999, the Agency issued the Phase 5 Reregistration 
Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice pursuant to sections 
4(g)(2)(B) and 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA which required the registrants of 
products containing captan used as an active ingredient to develop and 
submit certain data. These data/information were determined to be 
necessary to satisfy reregistration requirements of section 4(g). 
Failure to comply with the requirements of a Phase 5 Reregistration 
Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice is a basis for suspension 
under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
    Voluntary Purchasing Group, Inc. received the Captan Reregistration 
Eligibility Document (RED) on November 20, 1999, as evidenced by a U.S. 
Postal Service domestic return receipt card. Therefore, the 90-day 
response was due on February 20, 2000, and the 8-month response was due 
on July 20, 2000. The company's 90-day response, dated April 18, 2000 
was received by the Agency on April 18, 2000. The company agreed to 
satisfy the data requirements by developing and submitting the data to 
the Agency. It stated that the studies would be initiated within 2 
weeks and it estimated that the studies would take approximately 5 
months to complete.
    By a letter dated February 8, 2001, the Agency informed Mr. Michael 
Jackson (Brazos Associates, Inc., Agent for Voluntary Purchasing Group) 
that Voluntary Purchasing Group's 8-month response was overdue. In a 
letter dated March 7, 2001, Brazos Associates, Inc. requested a time 
extension of an additional 4 months for submission of the product 
chemistry and acute toxicity studies. Additionally, the registrant 
asked for more time to submit the storage stability/corrosion data. The 
rationale for the time extension requests was based on problems that 
Brazos stated were being encountered with the test material and 
analytical procedures employed by Stillmeadow, Inc. (Laboratory). 
Brazos stated that these problems had delayed the development of 
studies, particularly the storage stability and corrosion 
characteristics studies. The Agency agreed to place these latter two 
studies on hold until Stillmeadow resolved problems with the analytical 
procedures. The registrant agreed to provide quarterly progress 
reports. The 4-month time extension was granted in an Agency letter 
dated March 21, 2001.
    The Agency received the 8-month response on November 16, 2001. 
Product specific data purporting to address product chemistry and acute 
toxicity guidelines were received. In the transmittal letter dated 
November 14, 2001, Brazos Associates noted that Stillmeadow was still 
experiencing problems with the test material for storage stability, 
corrosion characteristics, and enforcement analytical method studies. 
Therefore, Brazos Associates initiated a second set of these studies 
with Product Safety Labs to determine if it was a laboratory/company 
problem or actual problem with the analytical methods being utilized.
    On January 31, 2003, the Agency completed the review of the product 
chemistry data submitted to support the reregistration of Voluntary 
Purchasing Group's captan product and found remaining deficiencies in 
the data that prevented the requirements from being satisfied. An 
Agency letter to Brazos Associates dated March 12, 2003 outlined the 
product chemistry deficiencies. Voluntary Purchasing Group was required 
to submit revised Confidential Statements of Formula, and product 
chemistry data for Guidelines 830.1750 Certified Limits, and 830.1800 
Enforcement Analytical Method. Additionally, Voluntary Purchasing Group 
was also required to notify the Agency within 30 days of their receipt 
of the letter whether the storage stability and corrosion 
characteristics studies have been initiated and their expected 
completion dates. Brazos received the letter on behalf of Voluntary 
Purchasing Group on March 17, 2003.
    On July 8, 2003, Ms. Karen Jones contacted Brazos Associates to 
determine if Voluntary Purchasing Group planned to submit the 
outstanding product chemistry data. Mr. Jackson of Brazos Associates 
indicated that Voluntary Purchasing Group did not plan to submit a 
response or data. Ms. Jones informed Mr. Jackson that the Agency would 
issue a Notice of Intent to Suspend (NOIS) for Voluntary Purchasing 
Group's failure to respond to the Agency's letter dated March 12, 2003 
and to adequately satisfy the data requirements imposed by the Captan 
RED DCI.
    To date, the Agency has not received required product chemistry 
data for Certification of Limits, Enforcement Analytical Method, or a 
Revised Confidential Statement of Formula. Additionally, the Agency has 
not received the required Storage Stability and Corrosion 
Characteristics product chemistry data, nor required progress reports.
    Because the registrant has not supplied the required data to 
support its captan product registration, this Notice of Intent to 
Suspend is being issued.

B. DCPA

    On November 25, 1998, the Agency issued the Phase 5 Reregistration 
Eligibility Document (RED) Data Call-In Notice pursuant to sections 
4(g)(2)(B) and 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA which required the registrants of 
products containing DCPA used as an active ingredient to develop and 
submit certain data. These data/information were determined to be 
necessary to satisfy reregistration requirements of section 4(g). 
Failure to comply with the requirements of a Phase 5 Reregistration 
Eligibility Document Data Call-In Notice (DCI) is a basis for 
suspension under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
    An Agency letter dated June 4, 2001, was sent to all DCPA 
registrants. The letter modified the DCI and established new time 
frames for submitting the generic and product specific data required in 
the DCPA RED. Riverdale Chemical Company received the letter modifying 
the deadlines imposed by the DCPA RED on June 12, 2001, as evidenced by 
a U.S. Postal Service Domestic return receipt card. Therefore, 
Riverdale's 30-day response was due on July 12, 2001, and the 4-month 
response was due on October 12, 2001.
    On August 15, 2001, Ms. Venus Eagle on behalf of the Agency 
contacted Mr. Sawyer, the Regulatory Affairs Manager at Riverdale 
Chemical Company, to inquire why Riverdale had not responded to the 
June 4, 2001 letter which Riverdale received on June 12, 2001. 
Riverdale was required to respond 30 days after its receipt of the 
letter, that is, by July 12, 2001. Mr. Sawyer stated that his 
colleagues had not decided whether they wanted to support the DCPA end-
use products or not. Ms. Eagle stated he had in effect already had 30 
additional days since the deadline of July 12, 2001 to inform the 
Agency of its decision. Mr. Sawyer then responded that the Agency could 
issue a NOIS in lieu of waiting for Riverdale's answer.
    On September 7, 2001, three letters (dated September 6, 2001) were 
received (for EPA Registration Nos. 228-99, 228-157, and 228-222) 
stating that Riverdale planned to ``respond positively to the 
reregistration'' of the subject products and that it ``will be sending 
in the necessary documentation to continue'' the registrations. 
However, by the deadline of October 12, 2001, no product specific data 
had been

[[Page 69405]]

submitted for any of Riverdale's affected products. On March 11, 2002, 
Ms. Eagle spoke with Mr. Sawyer about the overdue product specific 
data. Mr. Sawyer responded that the samples got lost in December 2001, 
and they were just starting the data. Ms. Eagle told him that the 
Agency would have to issue a NOIS. Mr. Sawyer stated ``go ahead then.''
    Since the required product chemistry and acute toxicity data have 
not been submitted for EPA Registration Nos. 228-99, 228-157, and 228-
222, this Notice of Intent to Suspend is being issued.

V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    The Agency's authority for taking this action is section 6(f)(2) of 
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 
U.S.C. 136 et seq.
