Carbofuran; Product Cancellation 

Order 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the cancellation of some 

registrations and termination of certain 

uses, voluntarily requested by the 

registrant and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing the pesticide 

carbofuran, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This cancellation order follows a 

December 19, 2008 (73 FR 77690; FRL– 

8389–4) Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Request from the carbofuran 

registrant to voluntarily cancel some 

registrations and terminate uses of 

certain end-use products containing the 

pesticide carbofuran. These are not the 

last carbofuran products registered for 

use in the United States. In the 

December 19, 2008 notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the cancellations and 

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 

registrant withdrew their request within 

this period. The Agency received two 

anonymous comments on the notice, but 

neither merited further review of the 

requests. Further, the registrant did not 

withdraw their request, but submitted a 

letter clarifying the product registrations 

that they intended to cancel. 

Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this 

notice a cancellation order granting the 

requested cancellations and use 

terminations. Any distribution, sale, or 

use of the carbofuran 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 are effective 

March 18, 2009.

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

Two anonymous comments opposed 

the registration of any toxic chemicals. 

The carbofuran registrant commented 

that the December 19, 2008 Federal 

Register notice mistakenly included 

several Special Local Need (SLN) 

carbofuran registrations that the 

registrant did not intend to voluntarily 

cancel. Consequently, EPA has removed 

the following SLN registrations from the 

list of those being voluntarily cancelled: 

CA860037, CO920001, ID060003, 

ID910007, OR060017, OR910006, 

WA860012, and WA910006. 

Accordingly, the Agency does not 

believe that the comments submitted 

during the comment period merit 

further changes to the requested 

cancellations, or a denial of the requests 

for voluntary cancellation and use 

termination. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellations and use deletions of 

carbofuran registrations identified in 

Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C of Unit II. 

Accordingly, the Agency orders that the 

carbofuran product registrations 

identified in Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C of 

Unit II. are hereby canceled and 

terminated. Any distribution, sale, or 

use of existing stocks of the products 

identified in Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C of 

Unit II. in a manner inconsistent with 

any of the Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will 

be considered a violation of FIFRA. 

V. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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 


tjames on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 18, 2009 / Notices 11553 

a notice of receipt of any such request 

in the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

following the public comment period, 

the Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

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 cancellation order issued in this 

notice includes the following existing 

stocks provisions. 

For the products identified or 

referenced in Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C of 

Unit II. the registrant will be allowed to 

sell and distribute the subject products 

through the effective date of this 

cancellation order, March 18, 2009. In 

addition, existing stocks of carbofuran 

products may be sold or used until they 

are depleted, or until the effective date 

for the revocation of the associated 

tolerances. 

Consistent with EPA’s prior 

determinations, the Agency continues to 

intend to allow use on artichokes 

through December 31, 2010. No 

comments were received on whether 

there are sufficient stocks of product to 

allow for this use, and the Agency 

therefore concludes that no additional 

carbofuran production will be needed to 

address this use.The existing stocks 

provision included in a Federal Register 

notice published December 10, 2008, 

(73 FR 75105; FRL–8393–7) regarding 

several carbofuran products is 

superseded by the existing stocks 

provisions in this cancellation order.

Carbaryl; Amending Product 

Registrations to Terminate Uses and 

Eliminate Certain Application Methods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendments to terminate 

uses and eliminate certain application 

methods, voluntarily requested by the 

registrants and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing the pesticide 

carbaryl, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This order follows two Federal Register 

Notices of Receipt of Requests dated 

August 20, 2008 and October 15, 2008, 

respectively, from the carbaryl 

registrants to voluntarily terminate 

certain uses of and eliminate certain 

application methods for their carbaryl 

product registrations. These are not the 

last carbaryl products registered for use 

in the United States. In the August 20 

and October 15, 2008 Notices, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the 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 within this 

period. The Agency received five 

comments on the notice but none 

merited further review of the requests. 

Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice an 

order granting the requested 

amendments to terminate uses and 

eliminate certain application methods. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

carbaryl products subject to this order is 

permitted only in accordance with the 

terms of this order, including any 

existing stocks provisions. 

DATES: The termination of uses and 

elimination of application methods for 

carbaryl products specified in this 

notice are effective April 17, 2009.
