Abstract
This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registration of certain products and/or to amend their product registrations to terminate one or more uses. 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. 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substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of the requests, or the request is withdrawn by the registrant.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.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits
comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their
pesticide registration of certain products and/or to amend their
product registrations to terminate one or more uses. In accordance with
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA

merit further review of the requests, or the request is withdrawn by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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general 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. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.
B. What action is the Agency taking?
This document announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registration and/or amend their
product registrations to terminate one or more uses of the products
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 and/or
amending 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 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.
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. What is the Agency'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 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.
FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(B) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, 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 have requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination should submit the withdrawal 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.
V. 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 for cancellation
of certain product registrations and/or for amendments to terminate
uses, EPA proposes to include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and
2 of Unit II.
The registrant of 5383-146 has requested to sell and distribute
existing stocks for 18-months after the effective date of cancellation.
The registrant will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks
of voluntarily canceled products for 18-months after the effective date
of the cancellation, which will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrant
will be prohibited from selling or distributing product 5383-146,
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 all other voluntary product cancellations identified in Table 1
of Unit II., registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute
existing stocks of the 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
all other 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.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, identified in Table 2 of Unit II.,
registrants will be permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling for a period of 18
[[Page 38649]]
months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
cancellation order, 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.
