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, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a March 10, 2023, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and amend to terminate uses of certain product registrations. In the March 10, 2023, 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 received one comment on the notice, but it did not merit its further review of the requests. 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. 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.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The agency received one comment from American Bird Conservancy
agreeing with the cancellations in the notice of March 10, 2023: For
this reason, the Agency does not believe that the comment submitted
during the comment period merits further review or a denial of the
requests for voluntary cancellation and use termination.
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 certain pesticide 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 August 30, 2023. 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 March
10, 2023 (88 FR 15015) (FRL-10762-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed
on April 10, 2023.
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 voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell
and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until
August 30, 2024, which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation
order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing 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, registrants are permitted to sell or
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously
approved labeling until March 3, 2025, 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
