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

    This cancellation order follows a notice of receipt of voluntary 
cancellation requests received from the registrants that issued in the 
Federal Register of June 11, 2014 (79 FR 33550) (FRL-9911-36)), and a 
correction notice issued in the Federal Register of July 16, 2014 (79 
FR 41551) (FRL-9913-20) that removed two products that were 
inadvertently listed in the June 11, 2014 document. In the June 2014 
document, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the 
cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within 
the 180-day comment period that would merit its further review of these 
requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests.

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

    The comment period closed on December 8, 2014. EPA received one 
comment. The comment did not contain information about any specific 
product cancellation request. For this reason, the Agency does not 
believe that the comment submitted during the comment period merits 
further review or a denial of the request for voluntary cancellation.
    Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests.

V. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in 
Table 1 of Unit III. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the 
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit III. are canceled. 
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this 
order is April 16, 2015. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing 
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit III. 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.

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.
    The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks 
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. until April 18, 2016, which 
is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the 
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from 
selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. except 
for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or 
proper disposal. Persons other than the registrants may sell, 
distribute, or use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of 
Unit III. 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.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: April 3, 2015.
Michael Goodis,
Acting Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
