Abstract
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an August 11, 2025, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and/or amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the August 11, 2025, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received one anonymous comment on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. The registrations 279-9546, 94396-15 and 94396-25 were already cancelled on a separate notice; therefore, they have been excluded from this notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
an August 11, 2025, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from
the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel
and/or amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the
August 11, 2025, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses,
unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day
comment period that would merit its further review of these requests,
or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received
one anonymous comment on the notice. Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their requests. The registrations 279-9546, 94396-15 and
94396-25 were already cancelled on a separate notice; therefore, they
have been excluded from this notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in
this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations
and/or amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of
the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks
provisions.
DATES: The cancellations and/or amendments are effective February 10,
2026.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received one
anonymous comment in response to the August 11, 2025, 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. The comment states that this action should
terminate the pesticides listed in Unit II and remove the current
registrants that are currently listed as being on the list dispensing
the Unit II Chemicals. The mislabeled chemicals and tainted products
pose potential health risks and could harm our children and pets. The
Agency's response is as follows. As noted in the order, the pesticide
products listed in Table 1, and the specified uses of the products
listed in Table 2 of Unit II are being canceled pursuant to the
registrant's voluntary request for cancelation. This action does not
address any potential health or environmental risks from pesticide use.
However, pursuant to FIFRA and the FFDCA, the EPA continually evaluates
existing and proposed pesticide products to ensure that, when applied
as instructed, those pesticides will not generally cause unreasonable
risk to human health or the environment.
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 February 10, 2026. 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 August
11, 2025 (90 FR 38645) (FRL-12542-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed
on September 10, 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
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
For: 5383-146
For 5383-146, Troy Chemical 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 August 10, 2027, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register.
Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from selling or distributing
product 5383-146 identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export in
accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue
to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1
until February 10, 2027, 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 August 10, 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.
