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.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    In the November 18, 2016 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue 
an order implementing the cancellations and amendments to terminate 
uses, 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 received 
one comment on this notice from a registrant to withdraw one 
cancellation request for registration 100-1052, because it was 
inadvertently sent to the agency and it is not listed in this notice 
and will not be cancelled. Also two comments were received for the 
following registration numbers that were listed for product 
cancellation in the November 18, 2016 notice in error and are not 
listed in this notice, the following product registrations are not 
being cancelled: 2792-45, 61842-20, 61842-21, 61842-22, 61842-23, 
61842-24 and 61842-32. Also, a comment was received for registration 
number 66222-32 that was listed in error with the incorrect product 
name and active ingredient, and it is not listed in this notice and 
will not be cancelled. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a 
cancellation order granting the requested cancellations and amendments 
to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products 
subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with 
the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
    This notice announces the cancellations and amendments to terminate 
uses, as requested by registrants, of products registered under FIFRA 
section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a). These registrations are listed in sequence 
by registration number in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received four 
comments in response to the November 18, 2016 Federal Register notice 
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary 
cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of products listed in 
Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. One request was from Syngenta Crop 
Protection, LLC requesting that EPA Reg. No. 100-1052 be retained 
because the voluntary cancellation request was sent to the agency in 
error. A second comment was received from Decco US Post-Harvest, Inc. 
requesting that EPA Reg. No. 2792-45 be retained because the entry to 
cancel the product registration was listed in error, the registrant 
only voluntarily requested to amend the registration to terminate uses 
on pears which is accurately listed in Table 2 of Unit II. A third 
comment was received from Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc. requesting that EPA 
Reg. numbers 61842-20, 61842-21, 61842-22, 61842-23, 61842-24 and 
61842-32 be retained because the entry to cancel the product 
registrations were listed in error. The fourth comment was received 
from Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. requesting that EPA Reg. 
No. 66222-32 be retained because the product registration name and 
active ingredient were listed incorrectly.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses 
of the registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled and amended to 
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations 
that are subject of this notice is March 23, 2017. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 
and 2 of Unit II, in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions 
for disposition of existing

[[Page 14900]]

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 (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 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

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 
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this 
order is as follows.
    For voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell 
and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until 
March 23, 2018, which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation 
order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are 
prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of 
Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 
U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested 
amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or 
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously 
approved labeling until September 24, 2018, a period of 18 months after 
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless 
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be 
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels 
include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except 
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
