[EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0060; FRL-10021-91]


Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registration 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 10, 
2021 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 
10, 2021 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 three 
comments on the notice, but none merited 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 April 2, 2021.

Division (7502P), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental

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

    The Agency received one anonymous public comment and two other 
public comments on the notice. For these reasons, 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 
that are subject of this notice is April 2, 2021. 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 10, 2021 (86 FR 8902) (FRL-10016-15). The comment period 
closed on March 12, 2021.

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.
    For the voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the 
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
products listed in Table 1 until March 31, 2022, 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 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 the product labels reflecting the 
requested amendments to terminate, listed in Table 2 of Unit II, 
registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in 
Table 2 of Unit II under the previously approved labeling until 
September 30, 2022, 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.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: March 26, 2021.
