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, Table 1B and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation 
order follows an April 17, 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 April 17, 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 
received 5 public comments on the notice, but they did not merit its 
further review of the requests. 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 June 17, 2020.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received five public 
comments; four of them are anonymous, in response to the April 17, 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, 1A, 1B and 2 of Unit II. 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, 1A, 1B, and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 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 June 17, 2020. The effective date of the 
cancellation listed in Table 1A that is subject of this notice is 
December 31, 2020. The effective date of the cancellations listed in 
Table 1B that are subject of this notice is December 31, 2019. Any 
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products 
identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 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 Apr 
17, 2020 (85 FR 21428) (FRL-10007-07). The comment period closed on May 
18, 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 Product 10324-66

    For product 10324-66, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant 
has requested 18-months to sell existing stocks. The registrant will be 
permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of the product 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. 
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or 
distributing the product, except for export consistent with FIFRA 
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

B. For Product 432-893

    For product 432-893, listed in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant 
has requested the cancellation date to be December 31, 2020; therefore, 
the registrant will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks 
of the voluntarily canceled product for 1 year after the effective date 
of the cancellation, which will be until December 31, 2021. Thereafter, 
the registrant will be prohibited from selling or distributing the 
product, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 
136o) or for proper disposal.

C. For Products CA-040026, CA-080009, CA-080010, CA-080011 & CA-080012

    For products CA-040026, CA-080009, CA-080010, CA-080011 & CA-
080012, listed in Table 1B of Unit II, the registrant has requested the 
cancellation date to be December 31, 2019; therefore, the registrant 
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 until December 31, 2020. Thereafter, the 
registrant 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 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 June 17, 2021, which is 
1 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 December 17, 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.
