Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Tables 1 through 4 of Unit II., pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows a February 22,
2012, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 5 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel these
product registrations. In the February 22, 2012, notice, EPA indicated
that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, 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. 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 are effective as provided in Unit VI.

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 February 22, 2012, Federal Register notice
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellations of products listed in Tables 1 through 4 of Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations identified in Tables 1 through 4 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1 through 4 of Unit II. are
cancelled. The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject
of this notice can be found in Unit VI. Any distribution, sale, or use
of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 through 4 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 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 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 issue of February 22, 2012 (77 FR
10516) (FRL-9336-4). The comment period closed on March 23, 2012.
VI. Effective Dates of Cancellation and 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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows:
A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of these products is May 2,
2012. The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until May 2, 2013,
which is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from
selling or distributing products listed in Table 1, except for export
in accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal. Persons other
than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until existing 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 cancelled products.
B. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of these products is July 31,
2013. The registrants will be allowed to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products containing fenarimol until July 31, 2013.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
these pesticide products, except for export consistent with FIFRA
section 17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant will be allowed to sell and
distribute existing stocks through July 31, 2015. After this date,
remaining existing stocks of products containing fenarimol labeled for
all uses, already in the hands of users may be used until exhausted,
provided that such use complies with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the product.
C. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit II Except No. 002217-00692
The effective date of cancellation of these products is May 2,
