ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0489; FRL-9355-7]
Cancellation of Pesticides for Non-Payment of Year 2012
Registration Maintenance Fees
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Since the amendments of October 1988, the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) has required payment of an
annual maintenance fee to keep pesticide registrations in effect. The
fee due last January 15, 2012, has gone unpaid for 204 registrations.
Section 4(i)(5)(G) of FIFRA provides that the EPA Administrator may
cancel these registrations by order and without a hearing; orders to
cancel all 204 of these registrations have been issued within the past
few days.
DATES: A cancellation is effective on the date the cancellation order
is signed.

II. Background
Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA, as amended in October 1988 (Pub. L. 100-
532), December 1991 (Pub. L. 102-237), and again in August 1996 (Pub.
L. 104-170), requires that all pesticide registrants pay an annual
registration maintenance fee, due by January 15 of each year, to keep
their registrations in effect. This requirement applies to all
registrations granted under FIFRA section 3 as well as those granted
under FIFRA section 24(c) to meet special local needs. Registrations
for which the fee is not paid are subject to cancellation by order and
without a hearing.
The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act Amendments of
1991, Public Law 102-237, amended FIFRA to allow the EPA Administrator
to reduce or waive maintenance fees for minor agricultural use
pesticides when she determines that the fee would be likely to cause
significant impact on the availability of the pesticide for the use.
The Agency has waived the fee for 196 minor agricultural use
registrations at the request of the registrants.
In fiscal year 2012, maintenance fees were collected in one billing
cycle. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIRA) was
passed by Congress in October 2007. PRIRA authorized the Agency to
collect $22 million dollars in maintenance fees in fiscal year 2012. In
late 2011, all holders of either FIFRA section 3 registrations or FIFRA
section 24(c) registrations were sent lists of their active
registrations, along with forms and instructions for responding. They
were asked to identify which of their registrations they wished to
maintain in effect, and to calculate and remit the appropriate
maintenance fees. Most responses were received by the statutory
deadline of January 15. A notice of intent to cancel was sent in
February 2012, to companies who did not respond and to companies who
responded, but paid for less than all of their registrations. Since
mailing the notices of intent to cancel, EPA has maintained a toll-free
inquiry number through which the questions of affected registrants have
been answered.
Maintenance fees have been paid for about 15,420 FIFRA section 3
registrations, or about 96% of the registrations on file in December
2011. Fees have been paid for about 2,028 FIFRA section 24(c)
registrations, or about 88% of the total on file in December 2011.
Cancellations for non-payment of the maintenance fee affect about 182
FIFRA section 3 registrations and about 22 FIFRA section 24(c)
registrations.
The cancellation orders generally permit registrants to continue to
sell and distribute existing stocks of the canceled products until
January 15, 2013, 1 year after the date on which the fee was due.
Existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users, however, can
generally be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are
exhausted. Existing stocks are defined as those stocks of a registered
pesticide product which are currently in the United States and which
have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation order.
The exceptions to these general rules are cases where more
stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products
have already been imposed, through special reviews or other Agency
actions. These general provisions for disposition of stocks should
serve in most cases to cushion
[[Page 44230]]
the impact of these cancellations while the market adjusts.
III. Listing of Registrations Canceled for Non-Payment
Table 1 of this unit lists all of the FIFRA section 24(c)
registrations, and Table 2 of this unit lists all of the FIFRA section
3 registrations which were canceled for non-payment of the 2012
maintenance fee. These registrations have been canceled by order and
without hearing. Cancellation orders were sent to affected registrants
via certified mail in the past several days. The Agency is unlikely to
rescind cancellation of any particular registration unless the
cancellation resulted from Agency error.

IV. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks until January 15, 2013, 1 year after the date on which the fee
was due.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation order. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply,
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will
be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale,
distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already
been imposed, as in a special review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a
particular chemical.
