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 certain product registrations, pursuant
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
This cancellation order follows a November 22, 2022, Federal Register
Notice of Receipt of requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of
Unit II., to voluntarily cancel and amend certain product registrations
to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the November 22,
2022, 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. 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 March 10, 2023.

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 November 22, 2022, 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.
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 product 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 March 10, 2023. 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
November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71321) (FRL-10372-01-OCSPP). The comment
period closed on December 22, 2022.
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 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 of Unit II, until March 11, 2024, 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 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 September 10, 2023, 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 3, 2023.
