III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received eight
comments in response to the July 31, 2025, Federal Register notice
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellations of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. Comments
number one and number six, regarded broader questions and concerns
related to PFAS usage. Our response. This action is based on requests
from the registrant to voluntarily cancel these product registrations,
and as such, those comments are outside of the scope of this action.
Comments number two, number three, number seven and number eight
regarded broader questions and concerns related to pesticide usage. Our
response. This action is based on requests from the registrant to
voluntarily cancel these product registrations, and as such, those
comments are outside of the scope of this action. For comment number
four the cancellation process was supported; however, it suggests
listing the products being canceled and explaining how existing stocks
can be used. Our response. The specific products being canceled in this
action are listed in Table 1, and provisions for disposition of
existing stocks are provided in Unit VI. For comment number five, the
comment is a request for EPA to issue more information concerning the
reasons for Section 6(f) cancelations and alleges that many registrants
use voluntary cancelation to avoid situations in which the Agency might
seek involuntary cancelation, suspension, or some other restriction on
products. The comment specifically requests that FIFRA be amended. Our
response. Only Congress may amend FIFRA. FIFRA Section 6(f) sets out
specific procedures that EPA must follow, after it receives a voluntary
request to cancel a pesticide product. Registrants are not required to
provide the Agency with a particular reason for seeking voluntary
cancelation.
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
[[Page 14843]]
notice is March 27, 2026. 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 July
31, 2025, (90 FR 36045) (FRL-12880-01-OCSPP). The comment period ends
on January 27, 2026.
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 registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until March 29, 2027,
which is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are 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.
People 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: March 20, 2026.
