Abstract
In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of and soliciting comments on requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products and/or to amend their product 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 further review of the requests, or the registrants withdraw their requests. 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 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. Note that the month and year provided in the title are intended to help distinguish this document from other documents with the same title. This document identifies those requests that were received after the last notice of receipt was issued and are currently under review by EPA.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of and
soliciting comments on requests by the registrants to voluntarily
cancel their registrations of certain products and/or to amend their
product 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 further review of the requests, or the
registrants withdraw their requests. 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 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. Note
that the month and year provided in the title are intended to help
distinguish this document from other documents with the same title.
This document identifies those requests that were received after the
last notice of receipt was issued and are currently under review by
EPA.

September 4, 2025.

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 Tables 1
and 2 of 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 the 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 at least 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 requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, this document provides a
30-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="http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html">http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html</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
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and/or amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish 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 product cancellations 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, which will be the date of publication 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.
For those products identified in Table 1A of Unit II., the
registrant has requested 18-months after the date of publication of the
cancelation order in the Federal Register to sell existing stocks.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in Table 1A of Unit II., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Once EPA has approved labels for the products listed in Table 2 of
Unit II., (amended to reflect the requested amendments to terminate
uses), registrants will be permitted to sell or distribute products
under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after
the date of publication of the cancelation 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 (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 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: July 31, 2025.
