Abstract
In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is providing this notice of receipt of and soliciting comment on the requests identified in Unit II. received from the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticide chlorpyrifos, or to amend their chlorpyrifos registrations to terminate one or more uses. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests or if the registrant withdraws their request to cancel these uses or products. If these requests are granted, EPA will issue a final cancelation order under which any sale, distribution, or use of the products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled or the uses terminated only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms described in the final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
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 comment for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through email or
<a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. If you wish to include CBI in your
comment, please follow the applicable instructions at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules</a> and clearly mark the
information that you claim to be CBI. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets</a>.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from the
registrants identified in Table 3 of this unit to cancel certain
pesticide products or uses registered under FIFRA section 3 (7 U.S.C.
136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). These registrations are listed in
sequence by registration number in table 1 and table 2 of this unit.
The current voluntary requests for termination of certain
registered chlorpyrifos uses submitted by Loveland and as reflected in
this notice supersede the requests for voluntary cancellation
previously submitted by Loveland for which EPA provided notice in the
Federal Register on August 29, 2023 (88 FR 59521) (FRL-5993-05-
[[Page 57402]]
OCSPP), Chlorpyrifos; Notice Receipt of Request to Voluntarily Cancel
Certain Pesticide Registrations.
Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments
that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw
their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register
cancelling registrations and terminating uses as requested after the
close of the comment period.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted in table 1, Drexel and Loveland requested that several
food uses be terminated, except in certain enumerated states; however,
some of the uses identified in the table are not registered in states
excluded from termination. Where the uses are not currently registered
in those states, EPA intends to simply approve the use termination
requests that are applicable, i.e., cancellation of use in those states
where the use is registered, except in the enumerated states where the
use is also registered. The request not to terminate uses in states
where the product is not registered will not result in the product
being registered in those states; registration of those uses in
additional states must be accomplished through the FIFRA section 3
registration process.
Specifically, Drexel and Loveland requested that the use on apples
be terminated, except in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, among other
states, on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599, 19713-671, 34704-857,
and 34704-1077; however, some of the apple uses on those registrations
are only permitted in states east of the Rockies. For those apple uses
that are currently not permitted in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, the
request not to terminate use on apples in those states has no effect.
Similarly, Drexel and Loveland requested that the use on wheat be
terminated, except in Missouri (spring and winter wheat) or Iowa
(winter wheat), on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599, 19713-671,
34704-857, and 34704-1077. But because these products are not
registered for use on wheat in those states, that request has no
effect. EPA intends to approve the requests to terminate uses that are
registered, except for the uses that are requested to be retained where
those uses are currently registered.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking these actions?
FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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 cancelled or cancel registered uses for
a pesticide. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register and provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. 7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B). 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 registrant requests 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 listed in table 3 of unit II. have requested that
EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA is providing a
30-day comment period on the requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such 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
cancellation action.
If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish a final
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:
<bullet> Sale and distribution of existing stocks of Drexel CHLOR-
PY-REX Chlorpyrifos Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 19713-527), Drexel
Chlorpyrifos Technical (EPA Reg. No. 19713-573) and Drexel Chlorpyrifos
99% Technical (EPA Reg. No. 19713-575) will not be permitted after the
final cancellation order is issued.
<bullet> Sale and distribution of existing stocks for the following
