Abstract
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrant 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 24, 2022, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 24, 2022, 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 registrant withdrew their request. The Agency received three incomplete anonymous public comments on the notice, but none merited its further review of the requests. Further, the registrant 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.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrant 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 24, 2022, Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit II to
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 24,
2022, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing

these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew their request. The
Agency received three incomplete anonymous public comments on the
notice, but none merited its further review of the requests. Further,
the registrant 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 April 27, 2022.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received three anonymous public comments on the notice;
however, the comments were incomplete. For these reasons, 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.

approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the

The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is April 27, 2022.

V. 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. 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 of
February 24, 2022 (87 FR 10360) (FRL-9600-01-OCSPP). The comment period
closed on March 28, 2022.
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. For this voluntary cancellation request, the
registrant indicates that the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II are
not in the channels of trade because they were never commercialized in
the United States. Therefore, no existing stocks provision is needed.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: April 18, 2022.
Marietta Echeverria,
Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
