ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1017; FRL-9943-66]
Notice of Receipt of Requests To Voluntarily Cancel Pesticide
Registrations and Amend Registrations To Terminate Certain Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests
by registrants to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations
and amend one pesticide registration. The amendment request would
delete the following uses of MGK 264: Outdoor ground applications (tall
grass, shrubbery, around lawns, corrals, feed lots, swine lots, zoos);
and direct applications to beef cattle, dairy cattle, and horses. The
product cancellation requests listed herein would not terminate the
last products registered for these pesticides for use in the United
States. EPA intends to grant these cancellation and amendment requests
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 the requests, or unless the
registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any
sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be
permitted after the registration has been cancelled or amended only if
such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as
described in the final order.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 6, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel certain pesticide products and amend one product registration
for MGK 264 by deleting specific uses listed in Table 2 of this unit.
The affected products and the registrants making the requests are
identified in Tables 1-3 of this unit.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant or if the Agency
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be cancelled 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.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-
day comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to
delete uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and for an amendment to delete a use, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
1. For product 100-1455, the registrant has indicated to the Agency
via written response that the product was never produced or sold.
Therefore, EPA anticipates that no existing stocks provision is needed
for the registrant or persons other than the registrant.
2. For the products 6836-25, 6836-201, 6836-284, 74075-2, 81002-2,
and 81002-3, the registrants have indicated to the Agency that there
are no stocks of the products in the channels of trade. Therefore, EPA
anticipates that the registrants do not need an existing stocks
provision. Persons other than the registrant will generally be allowed
to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks 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 cancelled product.
3. For product registration 47000-101, ChemTech requested 12 months
to manufacture and distribute existing stocks. However, since their
stated goal
[[Page 27442]]
was to complete sales and distribution by March 2016, EPA anticipates
that the registrant will not need an existing stocks provision. Persons
other than the registrant will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks 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
cancelled product.
4. For product 67690-40, the registrant requested an existing
stocks provision to sell and distribute product until December 31,
2016, and as of that date will no longer have any current stock.
Therefore, EPA anticipates allowing the registrant to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the product through December 31, 2016.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling and
distributing the product, except for export consistent with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. Persons other than
the registrant will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks 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 cancelled
product.
5. For the product 89459-27, once EPA has approved the product
label reflecting the requested amendments to delete specific uses, the
registrant will be permitted to sell or distribute the product under
the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after the
date of Federal Register publication of the cancellation order, unless
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, the registrant will
be prohibited from selling or distributing the product whose label
includes the deleted uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II., except for
export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons
other than the registrant will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks of the amended product whose label
includes the deleted uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the amended
product.
6. For all other products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA
anticipates allowing the registrants to sell and distribute existing
stocks of voluntarily cancelled products for 1 year after the effective
date of the cancellation, which will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products identified
in Table 1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. Persons other than the
registrant will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of cancelled products until supplies are exhausted,
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the
cancelled products.
