[EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0014; FRL-10002-91]


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 and Table 
2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an October 25, 
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 October 
25, 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 did not receive any 
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their 
requests. Products, 45728-29, 57787-14, OR-160011 & WA-020030, have 
been removed from this cancellation order because they are already 
listed in a maintenance fee cancellation 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 January 3, 2020.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the October 25, 2019 Federal Register (84 FR 57418) 
(FRL-10000-07) 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.

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 
and amendments listed in Table 1 and Table 2 that are subject of this 
notice is January 3, 2020. 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 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 October 25, 2019 Federal 
Register. The comment period closed on November 25, 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 products 464-782; 464-8126; 464-8127 & 464-8129

    The registrant of products 464-782; 464-8126; 464-8127 & 464-8129, 
listed in Table 1, has requested 18-months to sell existing stocks. The 
registrant will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
these products for 18-months after the effective date of the 
cancellation, which will be the date of publication of the cancellation 
order in the Federal Register.
    For all other voluntary cancellations, identified in Table 1 of 
Unit II, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing 
stocks of the products listed in Table 1 until January 4, 2021, which 
is one year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal 
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or 
distributing the 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 July 6, 2021, 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.
