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 a February 4, 
2020 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 February 
4, 2020 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

[[Page 26458]]

received one comment on the notice, but it did not merit its further 
review of the request. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their 
requests. 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 4, 2020.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received one comment 
in response to the February 4, 2020 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; however, it wasn't substantive. For this reason, the Agency 
does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period 
merit further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary 
cancellation and use termination.

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 May 4, 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 Federal Register of 
February 4, 2020 (85 FR 6169) (FRL-10004-10). The comment period closed 
on March 5, 2020.

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 464-8123, 10324-18 & 10324-165.

    For products 464-8123, 10324-18 & 10324-165, listed in Table 1 of 
Unit II, the registrants have requested 18-months to sell existing 
stocks. Registrants 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

[[Page 26461]]

cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants 
will be prohibited from selling or distributing these products, except 
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for 
proper disposal.

B. For products 87262-4, 87262-6, 87262-7 & 87262-8.

    For products 87262-4, 87262-6, 87262-7 & 87262-8, listed in Table 1 
of Unit II, the registrant has requested to sell existing stocks until 
December 31, 2020. Registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute 
existing stocks of these products until December 31, 2020. Thereafter, 
registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing these 
products, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 
136o) or for proper disposal.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations, identified in Table 
1 of Unit II, registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute 
existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the 
effective date of the cancellation, which will be the date of 
publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register. 
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing 
all other products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export 
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 
disposal.
    Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested 
amendment 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 4, 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 use 
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.
