AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
[[Page 56203]]
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 and 2 of Unit II., pursuant to the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This
cancellation order follows a June 13, 2012 Federal Register Notice of
Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II.
to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the June 13, 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
received notice from one registrant, Aceto Agricultural Chemicals Corp,
to withdraw their cancellation request for registration no. 002749-
00119, a tributyltin oxide product. EPA did not receive any other
comments on the notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a
cancellation order granting the requested cancellations, with the
exception of registration no. 002749-00119. 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 September 12, 2012.

Table 2 contains a list of registrations for which companies paying
at one of the maintenance fee caps requested cancellation in the FY
2012 maintenance fee billing cycle. Because maintaining these
registrations as active would require no additional fee, the Agency is
treating these requests as voluntary cancellations under 6(f)(1).

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received a request
from one registrant to rescind their request for voluntary
cancellation. Aceto Agricultural Chemicals Corp. rescinded their
request for voluntary cancellation of registration number 002749-00119,
containing tributyltin oxide. EPA received no other comments in
response to the June 13, 2012 Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of
products listed in Table 1 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 and 2 of Unit
II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. are cancelled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is September 12, 2012. Any distribution, sale, or use of
existing stocks of the products identified in Table 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 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 June 13, 2012 (77 FR 35379)
(FRL-9351-7). The comment period closed on July 13, 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:
A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit II
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until September 12, 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,
[[Page 56207]]
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
Registrants are allowed to sell and distribute existing stocks of
these products until January 13, 2013, 1 year after the date on which
the maintenance fee was due. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited
from selling or distributing the pesticides identified in Table 2 of
Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for
proper disposal. Persons other than registrants are allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such 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.
