ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1017; FRL-9914-09]

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, 
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of 
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., pursuant to the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation 
order follows a May 20, 2014 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of 
Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to 
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the May 20, 2014 
Federal Register notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order 
implementing the cancellations, 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 comments on the May 20, 2014 Federal 
Register notice but none merited its further review of the requests. 
Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 
EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the 
requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products 
subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with 
the terms of this cancellation order, including any existing stocks 
provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective August 6, 2014.

    The allethrin series of pyrethroid insecticides includes the 
Product Chemical (PC) codes for: Bioallethrin (004003), esbiol 
(004004), esbiothrin (004007, formerly 004003/004004), and pynamin 
forte (004005). The technical registrants for the allethrins, Sumitomo 
Chemical Company Limited (Sumitomo) and Valent BioSciences Corporation 
(Valent), cancelled all of the allethrins technical products effective 
September 30, 2015, and cancelled their allethrins end-use product 
registrations effective December 31, 2016. Because the allethrins 
technical products have been cancelled, several other registrants for 
allethrins end-use products listed in this notice have requested 
cancellation with dates consistent with those specified for the Valent 
and Sumitomo allethrins end-use products. The cancellation of the end-
use products listed in Table 2 of this unit are effective December 31, 
2016.

for maintaining the existing tepraloxydim tolerances for importation 
purposes through 2018. This request does not pertain to the voluntary 
cancellation of the registrant's products (008033-00012 and 008033-
00013), which have never been marketed in the United States.
    The two remaining comments received pertained to pesticide concerns 
in general. These two comments did not contain information about any 
specific product cancellation request. For these reasons, the Agency 
does not believe that the three comments submitted during the comment 
period, which referenced importation tolerances and general pesticide 
concerns, merit further review or a denial of the requests for 
voluntary cancellation.

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 6, 2014. 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. are 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 May 
20, 2014 (79 FR 28920) (FRL-9909-40). The comment period closed on June 
19, 2014.

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.

A. All Products in Table 1 of Unit II. except 000264-00806, 008033-
00012, 008033-00013, 054382-00003, 067071-00053, 071368-00062, 087290-

distribute, or use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of

distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously 
approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled products.

B. Product 000264-00806

    In a letter to the Agency, the registrant had requested to 
voluntarily cancel all of its current thiacloprid product and domestic 
use registrations. In doing so, the registrant requested an 18- month 
time period to sell and distribute existing stocks of this product. The 
registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
product listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until Monday, February 8, 2016, 
which is 1 year and 6 months after the publication of this cancellation 
order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited 
from selling or distributing product listed in Table 1 of Unit II., 
except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper 
disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or

087290-00014 and 087290-00021

response that due to the last manufacturing date, distribution date, or 
the absence of marketing in the United States no existing stocks 
provisions are necessary for them to sell and distribute their 
product(s).
    Registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products 
listed in Table 1 of Unit II., except for export in accordance with
