Chlorpyrifos; Final Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide 
Registrations and Amendment of Certain Pesticide Registrations To 
Terminate Certain Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hereby announces its 
final cancellation order for the cancellations and amendments to 
terminate uses voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by 
the Agency, of the chlorpyrifos products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of 
Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This final cancellation order follows a notice 
in the Federal Register of July 15, 2024, that announced EPA's receipt 
of and sought comments on requests from the registrants in Table 3 of 
Unit II to voluntarily cancel or amend these product registrations. In 
the July 15, 2024, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue a final 
cancellation order implementing the requests, unless the Agency 
received substantive comments within the comment period that would 
merit further review of these requests, or unless the registrants 
withdrew their requests. The Agency received one comment on the notice, 
which is summarized in Unit III.B. The registrants did not withdraw 
their requests for these voluntary cancellations and amendments. 
Accordingly, EPA hereby grants the requested cancellations and 
amendments to terminate uses as shown in this cancellation order. Any

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Table 1, several food uses are being terminated, except 
in certain specified states; however, some of the uses identified in 
the table are not registered in the states excluded from termination. 
The inclusion of a state specified in Table 1 does not mean that the 
product is registered for use in the listed states; registration of 
those uses in additional states must be accomplished through the FIFRA 
section 3 registration process. Specifically, use on apples is being 
terminated, except in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, among other 
states, on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599, 19713-671, 34704-857, 
and 34704-1077; however, some of the apple uses on those registrations 
are only permitted in states east of the Rockies. For those apple uses 
that are currently not permitted in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, 
terminating use on apples in those states has no effect. Similarly, use 
on wheat is being terminated, except in Missouri (spring and winter 
wheat) or Iowa (winter wheat), on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599, 
19713-671, 34704-857, and 34704-1077. But because these products are 
not registered for use on wheat in those states, that termination has 
no effect. EPA is terminating uses that are registered, except for the 
uses that are retained where those uses are currently registered.

III. Public Comments

A. Brief History

    EPA issued a rule in the Federal Register on August 30, 2021 (86 FR 
48315) (FRL-5993-04-OCSPP) revoking chlorpyrifos tolerances on the 
grounds that they were not safe (the ``Final Rule''). Once those 
tolerances expired on February 28, 2022, use of pesticide products 
containing chlorpyrifos on food or feed crops would result in 
adulterated food, which could not be sold in interstate commerce. After 
EPA alerted registrants of chlorpyrifos products of the lack of 
tolerances and the options for their products, several registrants 
submitted requests to voluntarily cancel their registered chlorpyrifos 
products or amend their chlorpyrifos pesticide products to remove food 
uses.
    The registrants identified in Table 3 of Unit II, among others, 
submitted such requests. Notice of EPA's receipt of these requests was 
published for comment in the Federal Register on July 15, 2024 (89 FR 
57401) (FRL-12081-01-OCSPP). The registrants waived the 180-day comment 
period for these voluntary requests, EPA provided a 30-day comment 
period on the proposed requests, and the comment period closed on 
August 14, 2024.

B. Summary of Comments Received

    During the public comment period, EPA received one comment in 
response to the notice that published in the Federal Register of July 
15, 2024. The comment can be found in the docket for this action, 
identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0223, 
available at https://www.regulations.gov and is briefly summarized 
here.
    The comment did not specify the products listed in Table 1 or Table 
2 of Unit II but was supportive of the cancellation of the pesticide. 
The comment stated that the proposed provisions for using existing 
stocks for food uses until June 30, 2025, would subject workers, 
bystanders, and consumers to health risks, and were not consistent with 
FIFRA.

C. EPA Response to Comments

    This cancellation action is responsive to registrants' requests to 
cancel specific products and specific uses. In response to the 
commenter, under FIFRA section 6(f), registrants may, at any time, seek 
to cancel their products or seek to amend their registrations to 
terminate specific uses. Under that provision of the statute, EPA 
provides an opportunity for public comment and then acts on the 
request. Cancellation of other products or uses that are not requested 
by the registrants occurs under other provisions of FIFRA, which is 
beyond the scope of this action and EPA's authority in FIFRA section 
6(f).
    EPA determined that the existing stocks provisions are not 
inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA, given the limited amount of 
existing stocks and the limited time allowed for use of the existing 
stocks outlined in Unit VI. EPA determined that the comment did not 
merit denial of the registrants' requests for cancellation and 
amendment.

IV. The Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested amendments to terminate uses and cancellations 
of the registrations identified in Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II, 
respectively. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the uses 
identified for the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II are terminated 
and the product registrations identified in Table 2 of Unit II are 
cancelled.
    The cancellations and amendments addressed in this Order are 
effective December 12, 2024. 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 these actions?

    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 cancelled or amended to terminate one or 
more registered 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 and provide a public comment period. EPA has 
provided the requisite notice and public comment period. One comment 
was submitted to which EPA has responded above.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks for the products identified in this document 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. EPA 
has determined that the following existing stocks provisions are not 
inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA given the limited amount of 
existing stocks and the limited time allowed for use of the existing 
stocks outlined below.

A. Products Listed in Table 1 of Unit II

     Sale and distribution of existing stocks of Drexel 
Chlorpyrifos Technical will not be permitted after the final 
cancellation order is issued.
     Sale and distribution of existing stocks is permitted 
until April 30, 2025, for the following products:
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg. No. 19713-505).
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG (EPA Reg. No. 19713-520).
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15GR (EPA Reg. No. 19713-521).
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG2 (EPA Reg. No. 19713-599).
     Drexel Lambdafos Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 19713-671).
     Warhawk (EPA Reg. No. 34704-857).
     Warhawk Clearform (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1077).
     Match-Up Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1086).
     Use of existing stocks of the following products on food, 
food processing sites, and food manufacturing sites must be consistent 
with the product labeling on those products:
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg. No. 19713-505).

[[Page 100484]]

     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG (EPA Reg. No. 19713-520).
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15GR (EPA Reg. No. 19713-521).
     Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG2 (EPA Reg. No. 19713-599).
     Drexel Lambdafos Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 19713-671).
     Warhawk (EPA Reg. No. 34704-857).
     Warhawk Clearform (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1077).
     Match-Up Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1086).
    Such use is permitted until June 30, 2025. Use of existing stocks 
of the products identified in this paragraph for non-food purposes is 
permitted until existing stocks are exhausted, as long as such use is 
in accordance with the labeling.
    After these dates, sale and distribution of existing stocks will be 
prohibited, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 
U.S.C. 136o), or for proper disposal in accordance with state 
regulations.

B. Products Listed in Table 2 of Unit II

    Sale and distribution of existing stocks of Drexel CHLOR-PY-REX 
Chlorpyrifos Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 19713-527) and Drexel 
Chlorpyrifos 99% Technical (EPA Reg. No. 19713-575) will not be 
permitted after the final cancellation order is issued.
    Drexel Chlorpyrifos Concentrate (EPA Reg. No. 19713-518) bears 
labeling only for non-food use. Therefore, EPA is allowing sale and 
distribution of existing stocks of those products for one year after 
publication of the cancellation order. Thereafter, sale and 
distribution of existing stocks of the product will be prohibited, 
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or 
for proper disposal in accordance with state regulations.
    Use of existing stocks is permitted until such stocks are 
exhausted, provided that use is consistent with the terms of the 
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled 
products.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
