Abstract
In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), this document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registration of certain products. EPA provides a periodic notice of receipt addressing requests received by EPA since the last notice of receipt was issued and uses the month and year in the title to help distinguish one document from the other. For this notice, EPA has compiled the requests received between September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments during the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests or the request is withdrawn by the registrant. If these requests are granted, EPA will issue an order in the Federal Register cancelling the listed product registrations, after which any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this document will only be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

of and solicits comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public 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.
B. What action is the Agency taking?
This document announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registration of the products
listed in Unit II. that are currently registered under FIFRA sections 3
or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136a or 136v(c)). EPA provides a periodic notice of
receipt addressing requests received by EPA since the last notice of
receipt was issued and uses the month and year in the title to help
distinguish one document from the other. For this notice, EPA has
compiled the requests received between September 30, 2024, and December
31, 2024. 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 canceling the affected registrations.
C. What is EPA's authority for taking this action?
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 canceled. Before acting on a request for
voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period
on the request. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on a request
for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural
use, EPA must provide a 180-day comment period 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 in Table 3 of Unit II. have not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, this document provides a
180-day comment period on these requests.
D. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. In addition to one complete
version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy
of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 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">https://www.epa.gov/dockets</a>.
E. How can a registrant withdraw their request for voluntary
cancellation?
Registrants who choose to withdraw their request for voluntary
cancellation should submit a withdrawal request 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.

III. 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, which will be the date of publication of the cancellation
order in the Federal Register. In any order issued in response to these
requests, EPA anticipates including the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the products listed in Unit II.:
The registrant of the products in Table 1 of Unit II. has requested
to sell and distribute existing stocks for a period of 18-months after
the effective date of the cancellation order. 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.
Persons other than the registrant will generally be allowed to
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of the canceled products until
such stocks 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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
