SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 14897]]
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. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?
The docket for this action, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2016-0577, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency
Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334,
1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. The Public
Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public

Docket is (703) 305-5805. Please review the visitor instructions and
additional information about the docket available at http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
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
November 18, 2016 (81 FR 81761) (FRL-9953-55). The comment period
closed on December 19, 2016.
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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
