ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0060; FRL-10015-01]
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, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
a July 30, 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 July 30,
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 one anonymous
public comment on the notice, but it didn't 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 September 23,
2020.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received one
anonymous public comment in response to the July 30, 2020 Federal
Register notice announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of the
products listed in Tables 1, 1A and 2 of Unit II. For this reason, the
Agency does not believe that the comment submitted during the comment
period merits further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary
cancellation or 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
identified in Tables 1, 1A 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 September 23, 2020. The effective date of the cancellation in Table
1A is December 31, 2019. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Tables 1, 1A 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 July
30, 2020 (85 FR 45877) (FRL-10012-40). The comment period closed on
August 31, 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 56228-32
For the 56228-32 listed in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant has
requested the effective date of the cancellation to be December 31,
2019; therefore, the registrant will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of this product until December 31, 2020.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the product in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
B. For All Other Voluntary Cancellations, Identified in Table 1 of Unit
II
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 September 23, 2021,
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 the products listed in Table 2 of Unit II under the
previously approved labeling until March 23, 2022, a period of 18
months after publication of the cancellation order in this Federal
Register, unless other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter,
registrants
[[Page 59796]]
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 the 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.
