Abstract
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and/or 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 December 17, 2024, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel and/or amend to terminate uses of all these product registrations. In the December 17, 2024, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations and/or 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 anonymous 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/or 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.

a December 17, 2024, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received one anonymous comment supporting the
cancellation of products containing Glutaraldehyde. For these reasons,
the Agency does not believe that the comments submitted during the
comment period merit further review or a denial of the requests for
voluntary cancellation and/or 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/or amendments to terminate
uses of 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/or amended to terminate the affected uses. The effective date of
the cancellations that are subject of this notice is July 2, 2025. 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
December 17, 2024, (89 FR 102138 (FRL-12320-01-OCSPP)). The comment
period closed on January 16, 2025.
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 July
2, 2026, 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 December 30, 2026, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in the 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/or 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/or terminated uses.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: June 26, 2025.

Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
