This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting

III. 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. FIFRA further provides that,
before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of
any such request in the Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II have requested that EPA waive
the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day
comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. In any order issued in response to these requests
for cancellation of product registrations EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
A. For Products 400-600, 10324-89, 10324-139, 10324-140, 10324-149,
10324-187, 34704-920, 70506-214, 70506-292 & 70506-293
For products 400-600, 10324-89, 10324-139, 10324-140, 10324-149,
10324-187, 34704-920, 70506-214, 70506-292 & 70506-293, the registrants
have requested 18-months to sell existing stocks. Because the Agency
has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with
these pesticide products, upon cancellation of these product
cancellations, identified in Table 1of Unit II, EPA anticipates
allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these
voluntarily canceled products for 18-months after the effective date of
the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
these 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.
B. For Product 1021-2600
For product 1021-2600, the registrant has requested that the
cancellation becomes effective September 30, 2022. Because the Agency
has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with
this pesticide product, upon cancellation of this product cancellation,
identified in Table 1A of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing registrants
to sell and distribute existing stocks of these voluntarily canceled
products for 1 year after the effective date of the product
cancellation, which will be September 30, 2023. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing these products
identified in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk
concerns associated with all the other pesticide products, identified
in Table 1 of Unit II, upon cancellation of these product
cancellations, EPA anticipates allowing registrants to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these voluntarily canceled products for 1
year after publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
[[Page 25865]]
proper disposal. Persons other than registrants will generally be
allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks
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.
