ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0014; FRL-9962-88]


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 8, 2016 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 8, 2016 
notice, 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. The Agency 
did not receive any comments on the 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 permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, 
including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective July 5, 2017.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received two general 
comments concerning the chemical, glyphosate. The Agency does not 
believe that the comments submitted during the comment periods merits 
further review or the denial of the requests for the voluntary 
cancellations of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II or the request 
for the amendment to terminate uses in Table 2 or Unit II.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested cancellations and/or amendment to terminate uses 
of the registrations identified in Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled and/or amended to 
terminate the effective uses. The effective date of the cancellations 
that are the subject of this notice is July 5, 2017. 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

[[Page 31060]]

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 (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 June 
8, 2016 (81 FR 36913) (FRL-9943-68). The comment period closed on 
December 5, 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 
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products 
subject to this order are as follows.
    The registrant(s) may continue to sell and distribute existing 
stocks of product(s) listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until July 5, 2018, 
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, 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 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.
