Abstract
This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registrations. In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 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 April 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025. 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substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of the requests, or the request is withdrawn by the registrant.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 the products listed in this document will only be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

SUMMARY: This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits
comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their
pesticide registrations. In accordance with the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA provides a periodic notice

2025. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment
period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive

the requests, or the request is withdrawn by the registrant.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 the products listed in this document will only
be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the
final order.

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 registrations listed in Unit II,
that are currently registered under FIFRA section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or
section 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). 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
[[Page 36046]]
on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide at least a
30-day public comment period on the request. Before acting on a request
for voluntary cancellation, 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 2 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
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. In addition to one complete
version of the comment that includes CBI, a copy of the comment without
CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information
marked as CBI 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>.
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:
For voluntary cancellations of the registrations listed in Table 1
of Unit II, registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute
existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
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
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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
