ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0014; FRL-9356-7]
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 Table 1 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 January 11, 2012 Federal
Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in
Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel these product registrations.
In the January 11, 2012 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received
substantive comments within the 180 day comment period that would merit
its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency received comments on the notice but
none merited 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. 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.
[[Page 43596]]
DATES: The cancellations are effective July 25, 2012.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received comments on the notice but none merited its
further review of the requests. The comments received were general
comments on pesticide regulation and were not specific to the products
in this order. For this reason, the Agency does not believe that the
comments submitted during the comment period merit further review or a
denial of the requests for voluntary cancellation.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are cancelled. The effective date of
the cancellations that are the subject of this notice is July 25, 2012.
Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Table 1 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 January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1679)
(FRL-9328-3). The comment period closed on July 9, 2012.
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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until July 25, 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
[[Page 43598]]
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.
