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 the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation
order follows a February 29, 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 February 29,
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 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 October 17, 2012.

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 canceled. The effective date of

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 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 issue of February 29, 2012 (77 FR
12299) (FRL-9336-2). The comment period closed on August 27, 2012.
