Spirodiclofen; Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations; Amendment

Issuing agencies

Abstract

EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register on December 21, 2020 to amend the effective date of cancellation for the two spirodiclofen registrations listed in Table 1B of the cancellation order published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2018. The affected registrations for that cancellation order, EPA Registration Nos. 264- 830 and 264-831 were registered to Bayer CropScience. The December 21, 2020, notice in the Federal Register was issued to amend the cancellation order, as requested by Bayer, by amending the effective date of the cancellation and the existing stocks provision for the two spirodiclofen registrations until December 31, 2021. Subsequent to the issuance of this cancellation order, the two registrations were transferred to the Gowan Company and Gowan has requested that the cancellation order be rescinded. EPA is extending the effective date of cancellation to June 30, 2022 while considering Gowan's request. The cancellation of these two registrations would terminate the last spirodiclofen products registered for use in the United States. 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.
