Abstract

In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticides atrazine and simazine, and/or to amend their atrazine, simazine, or malathion product registrations to terminate or delete one or more uses. The requests would delete atrazine use in or on roadsides; Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land; conifers, including Christmas tree plantings; timber and forestry; and miscanthus and other perennial bioenergy crops. The requests would delete simazine use in or on shelterbelts and all forestry uses except for Christmas tree plantings. The requests would delete malathion use as a mosquito larvicide and in or on cull piles (including the terms cull dumps, fruit dumps, and cull fruit and vegetable dumps). The requests are limited to the product registrations specified in this notice and would not terminate all of the atrazine, simazine, or malathion products registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled/uses deleted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests 
by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain 
products containing the pesticides atrazine and simazine, and/or to 
amend their atrazine, simazine, or malathion product registrations to 
terminate or delete one or more uses. The requests would delete 
atrazine use in or on roadsides; Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) 
land; conifers, including Christmas tree plantings; timber and 
forestry; and miscanthus and other perennial bioenergy crops. The 
requests would delete simazine use in or on shelterbelts and all 
forestry uses except for Christmas tree plantings. The requests would 
delete malathion use as a mosquito larvicide and in or on cull piles 
(including the terms cull dumps, fruit dumps, and cull fruit and 
vegetable dumps). The requests are limited to the product registrations 
specified in this notice and would not terminate all of the atrazine, 
simazine, or malathion products registered for use in the United 
States. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment 
period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive 
comments within the comment period that would merit its further review 
of the requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests. If 
these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products 
listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have 
been cancelled/uses deleted only if such sale, distribution, or use is 
consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of 
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human 
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide 
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution, 
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency 
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be 
affected by this action.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html">http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html</a>.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants 
to cancel certain and/or delete certain uses of atrazine, simazine, and 
malathion product registrations. The affected products and the 
registrants making the requests are identified in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of 
this unit.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant or if the Agency 
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further 
review of this request, EPA intends to issue an order canceling and/or 
amending the affected registrations.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) 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.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that 
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide 
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary 
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment 
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any 
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the 
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The atrazine, simazine, and malathion registrants have requested 
that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will 
provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product 
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to 
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the 
products(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the 
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier 
cancellation action are controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and/or amendments to 
delete uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the 
cancellation/use deletion order in the Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation 
of a product registration/product registrations and/or for an 
amendment/amendments to delete uses, EPA proposes to include the 
following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the 
products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
    For voluntary product cancellations, registrants will be permitted 
to sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products 
for 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be 
the date of publication of the cancellation/use deletion order in the 
Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from 
selling or distributing the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II., 
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or 
for proper disposal.
    Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested 
amendments to delete uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or 
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period 
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the 
cancellation/use deletion order, unless other restrictions have been 
imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or 
distributing the products whose labels include the deleted uses 
identified in Table 2 of Unit II., except for export consistent with 
FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use 
existing stocks of canceled products/products whose labels include the 
deleted uses until supplies 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/
deleted uses.
