Formetanate HCl and Acephate; 

Cancellation Order for Amendments To 

Terminate; Product Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendments to terminate 

uses, voluntarily requested by the 

registrants and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing formetanate HCl 

and acephate, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) 

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as 

amended. This cancellation order 

follows a July 13, 2011 Federal Register 

Notice of Receipt of Requests from the 

registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. 

to voluntarily amend their formetanate 

HCl and acephate product registrations 

to delete uses. These are not the last 

products containing these pesticides 

registered for use in the United States. 

In the July 13, 2011 notice, 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. The Agency 

did not receive any comments on the 

notice. Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested amendments to terminate 

uses of formetanate HCl and acephate 

product registrations. 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 amendments are effective 

September 14, 2011.

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

During the public comment period 

provided, EPA received no comments in 

response to the July 13, 2011 Federal 

Register notice (76 FR 41250) (FRL– 

8879–7) announcing the Agency’s 

receipt of the requests for voluntary 

amendments to delete uses of products 

listed in Table 1 of Unit II. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

amendments to terminate uses of 

formetanate HCl and acephate 

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 

amended to terminate the affected uses. 

The effective date of the cancellations 

that are subject of this notice is 

September 14, 2011. 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 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 

on July 13, 2011. The comment period 

closed on August 15, 2011. 

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. 

Since the EPA has approved product 

labels reflecting the requested 

amendments to delete uses, formetanate 

HCl registrants will now be permitted to 

sell and distribute existing stocks of 

products under the previously approved 

labeling until November 30, 2011. 

Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited 

from selling or distributing the products 

whose labels include the deleted uses 

identified in Table 1 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 products 

(including those of (24c) Special Local 

Needs registrations) whose labels 

include the deleted uses until December 

31, 2013, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

deleted uses. 

Now that EPA has approved product 

labels reflecting the requested 

amendments to delete uses, acephate 

registrants are permitted to sell or 

distribute products listed in Table 1 of 

Unit II. under the previously approved 

labeling until March 14, 2013, unless 

other restrictions have been imposed. 

Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited 

from selling or distributing the products 

whose labels include the deleted uses 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 or for proper disposal.
