This cancellation order follows a notice of receipt of voluntary
cancellation requests received from the registrants that issued in the
Federal Register of March 12, 2015 (80 FR 12996) (FRL-9923-27). In the
March 2015 document, 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.
IV. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments
The comment period closed on April 13, 2015. EPA received three
comments. The comments agreed with the product cancellations. 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.
Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests.
V. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit III. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit III. are canceled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
order is June 3, 2015. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit III. 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.
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. For Products (069361-00030, 073801-00003, and 089118-00001)
The registrants have indicated to the Agency via written response
that there are no existing stocks because no production has ever
occurred. Therefore, no existing stocks date is necessary. Registrants
are prohibited from selling or distributing the existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit III., except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. In
addition, because no production has ever occurred, persons other than
the registrants are prohibited from selling, distributing, or using the
existing stocks.
B. For the Product (010163-00174)
The registrant has indicated to the Agency via written response
that they will not sell or distribute any existing stocks after
December 31, 2014, and as of that date will no longer have any current
stock. Therefore, no existing stocks date for the registrant is
necessary. The registrant is prohibited from selling or distributing
existing stocks of the product listed in Table 1 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell,
distribute, or use the 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
canceled product.
C. For Products (059639-00028, 059639-00086, and 059639-00089)
Since the notice in the Federal Register of March 12, 2015 (80 FR
12996) (FRL-9923-27), EPA received clarification from the registrant
which indicates that the manufacture and distribution for these
products ended about 6 to 7 years ago. Therefore, no existing stocks
date is necessary for the registrant. The registrant is prohibited from
selling or distributing the existing stocks of products listed in Table
1 of Unit III., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. In addition, because 6 to 7 years
has passed, the Agency believes that existing stocks have been
exhausted and no existing stocks date is necessary for persons other
than the registrant. Persons other than the registrant are prohibited
from selling, distributing, or using the existing stocks.
D. For All Other Products Identified in Table 1 of Unit III
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. until June 2, 2016, which is
1 year after the publication of this Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. except for export
in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper
disposal. Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or
use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. 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 canceled products.
