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

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

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 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 termination should submit the withdrawal in writing
to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products 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 amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and for amendments to terminate 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 10324-142:
For 10324-142, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant has
requested an 18-month sell-through period.
For all other voluntary product cancellations, listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, 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 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 terminate 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 order, unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the terminated 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 and products whose labels include
the terminated 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 and terminated uses.
