Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations 
and Amendments To Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and 
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants 
and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1, Table 1A 
and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a March 5, 
2019 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the 
registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel and 
amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the March 5, 
2019 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 two comments 
on the notice, to remove their registrations from the cancellation 
order notice. The registrants for 4959-16, 4959-36 and 33753-31, 
requested via letter to withdraw their registrations from this notice. 
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.

DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective May 13, 2019.

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

    The Agency received two comments on the notice, to remove their 
registrations from the cancellation order notice. West Agro, Inc., 
registrant of 4959-16 and 4959-36 and BASF Corporation, registrant of 
33753-31, requested via letter to remove their registrations from this 
cancellation order because the requests were published in error and 
request that the registrations not be cancelled. For this reason, the 
Agency will not cancel these three registrations and the registrations 
have been removed from this notice.

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, 1A and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1, 1A 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 May 13, 2019. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1, 
1A and 2 of Unit II in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions 
for disposition of existing

[[Page 20885]]

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 March 
05, 2019 (84 FR 7896) (FRL-9988-66). The comment period closed on April 
04, 2019.

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.

A. For Product: 432-1415

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter to sell 
existing stocks for an 18-month period from the date of their letter 
dated, September 20, 2018, until March 20, 2020, for product 432-1415.

B. For Product: 432-1578

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter dated, 
November 14, 2017, to sell existing stocks for an 18-month period, 
until June 1, 2019, for product 432-1578.

C. For Products: 10324-16 and 10324-182

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter, to sell 
existing stocks for an 18-month period for products 10324-16 and 10324-
182.
    For all other voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue 
to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 
and Table 1A until May 13, 2020, 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 and Table 1A 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 November 12, 2020, 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.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use 
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include 
the terminated 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 canceled 
products and terminated uses.
