III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the May 07, 2024, Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
Unit II.
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 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 August 5, 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 May
07, 2024 (89 FR 38129) (FRL-11876-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed
on November 04, 2024.
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: 85588-13:
For 85588-13, AgSurf Corporation, the registrant of the product
subject to this cancellation notice, requested an existing stocks
provision allowing the continued sale and distribution of the affected
product until 18 months after the cancellation is published in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from selling
or distributing this product, except for export in accordance with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
[[Page 37488]]
For all other voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue
to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1
until August 5, 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 February 5, 2027, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in this 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.
