ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[OPP-2004-0115; FRL-7678-1]


Termination of Pesticide Producing Establishments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces the Agency's intention to terminate a 
number of pesticide producing establishment registrations for failure 
to file annual pesticide producing reports as required by section 7 of 
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and 
supporting regulations found at 40 CFR part 167; and which the Agency 
could not contact through the U.S. mailing address on file pursuant to 
FIFRA section 7.

DATES: The pesticide producing establishments listed in this document 
will have their establishment registration terminated December 6, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pesticide producing establishments 
should contact the EPA Regional Office having jurisdiction for the 
state where their parent company is located. A listing of the EPA 
Regional Offices is included under Unit III. of the 
SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to pesticide producing establishments, but 
may be of interest to environmental, human health, and agricultural 
advocates; the agrochemical industry; pesticide users; and members of 
the public interested in pesticide use. This list is not intended to be 
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities 
likely to be affected by this action. Other types of entities not 
listed in this unit could also be affected. If you have any questions 
regarding the applicability of this action to you or a particular 
entity, consult the appropriate regional contact.

II. Background

    Section 7 of FIFRA requires that all establishments that produce 
any pesticide or active ingredient used in producing a pesticide, or 
device subject to this Act be registered with the Agency, and that all 
such establishments submit annual production reports to the Agency. The 
EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 167 establish requirements concerning 
these annual reports and the information that must be in annual reports 
(40 CFR 167.85). The regulations state that establishment registrations 
will be subject to termination if an annual report is not submitted (40 
CFR 167.20(f)).
    Notwithstanding the requirements identified above, no annual 
production reports were received from the establishments identified in 
this document in 2000, 2001, 2002, and/or 2003. The mailings sent to 
the last reported address of the companies identified in this document 
were returned unopened to the Agency, with indications of 
``undeliverable'' or ``address unknown'' as the reason for the return. 
Subsequent attempts to locate the identified companies and 
establishments were unsuccessful. Additionally, some of the companies 
and/or establishments are out of business. Therefore, the Agency is 
terminating, without further notice, the registrations of the 
identified establishments pursuant to 40 CFR 167.20(f) for failure to 
submit the annual reports in 2003.
    Following termination of each pesticide producing establishment's 
registration, sale or distribution in the United States of any 
pesticide product produced in an establishment subsequent to the 
termination of that establishment's registration will be considered 
unlawful and a violation of section 12 of FIFRA, subject to possible 
civil and/or criminal penalties. This document will not preclude the 
Agency from seeking other appropriate remedies necessary for compliance 
with FIFRA.
