Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, 
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of 
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., pursuant to the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation 
order follows a June 4, 2014 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of 
Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to 
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the June 4, 2014 
Federal Register notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order 
implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive 
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further 
review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their 
requests. The Agency did not receive any comments on the June 4, 2014 
Federal Register notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw 
their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a 
cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any 
distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation 
order is

[[Page 47455]]

permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including 
any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective August 13, 2014.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the June 4, 2014 Federal Register notice announcing the 
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested 
cancellations of the registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled. The effective date of 
the cancellations that are the subject of this notice is August 13, 
2014. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products 
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent with any of 
the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI. 
will be a violation of FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide 
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations 
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further 
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice 
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, 
following the public comment period, the EPA Administrator may approve 
such a request. The notice of receipt for this action was published for 
comment in the Federal Register of June 4, 2014 (79 FR 32288) (FRL-
9910-97). The comment period closed on July 7, 2014.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products 
subject to this order are as follows.

A. For Products 000464-00664, 011603-00048, and 053883-00241

    The registrants have indicated to the Agency via written response 
that there are no existing stocks of technical or end use products. 
Therefore, no existing stocks date is necessary. Registrants are 
prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticides identified in 
Table 1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 
or for proper disposal. Persons other than the registrants may sell, 
distribute, or use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of 
Unit II. until existing stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, 
distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously 
approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled products.

B. For Products 007969-00057, 007969-00085, and 007969-00224

    The registrant has indicated to the Agency via letter that all 
registrations for the active ingredient vinclozolin will be phased out. 
Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk 
concerns associated with these pesticide products, EPA is allowing 
registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products 
until December 31, 2016. Thereafter, registrants, and persons other 
than registrants, are prohibited from selling or distributing existing 
stocks of products containing vinclozolin identified in Table 1 of Unit 
II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper 
disposal. Existing stocks of products containing vinclozolin already in 
the hands of users can be used legally until such stocks are exhausted, 
provided that the use is consistent with the terms of the previously 
approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled products.

C. For All Other Products Identified in Table 1 of Unit II.

    Registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until August 13, 2015, which is 
1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal 
Register. Thereafter, registrants are prohibited from selling or 
distributing the pesticides listed in Table 1 of Unit II., except for 
export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons 
other than registrants may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until such stocks are exhausted, 
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the 
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the 
canceled products.
