Abstract
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of certain product registrations, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an August 29, 2022, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and amend certain product registrations to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the August 29, 2022, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses, 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. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the August 29, 2022, Federal Register notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses
of product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled and amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations
that are subject of this notice is November 22, 2022. Any distribution,
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1
and 2 of Unit II, 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.
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 August
29, 2022 (87 FR 52773) (FRL-9997-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed
on September 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
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
For 10324-142, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant has
requested an 18-month sell-through period. The registrant may continue
to sell and distribute existing stocks of 10324-142 until May 22, 2024,
a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in
this Federal Register, unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the product.
For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until November 22, 2023,
which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from
selling or distributing all other products listed in Table 1 of Unit
II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C.
136o) or for proper disposal.
Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses listed in Table 2 of Unit II, registrants
are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit
II, under the previously approved labeling until May 22, 2024, a period
of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this
Federal Register, 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.
