III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received three
comments in response to the December 18, 2024, Federal Register notice
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellations of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. However,
the anonymous comments on the notice did not merit further review of
the requests by the Agency.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II, are canceled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is August 19, 2025. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 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 18, 2024, (89 FR 102894) (FRL-12319-01). The comment period
closed on June 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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows.
The registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until August 19, 2026,
which is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from selling
or distributing the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, except for
export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper
disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or
use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until
existing stocks 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.
Dated: August 13, 2025.

Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
