II. What Does this Correction Do?

The original cancellation orders for 

manufacturing-use products containing 

tributyltin methacrylate and labeled for 

use in formulating antifouling paints, 

and for the one end-use antifouling 

paint product containing tributyltin 

methacrylate, and for approval of the 

amendments to terminate the use of 

certain manufacturing-use products 

containing bis(tributyltin) oxide for 

formulating antifouling paints were 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 17, 2004; OPP–2004–0012; (FRL–

7346–8). Today’s notice corrects 

statements in Units II. and IV. of that 

cancellation order (on pages 12657 and 

12658) to amend the effective date of 

cancellation consistent with the 

registrants’ requests for use termination. 

The effective date of the use 

terminations cited in the March 17, 

2004 notice was the date of publication 

of that notice (or March 17, 2004); the 

corrected effective date is April 15, 

2004. The effective date of the 

registration cancellations where no use 

termination was requested remains as 

stated in the previous notice. The 

registrations affected by this correction 

and the effective date of the use 

terminations are listed in the table 

below.

are effective upon the date of 

publication of this document, and 

amendments to terminate a use are 

effective April 15, 2004.’’

2. On page 12658, in Unit IV.2. 

Registrations amended to delete 

terminated uses (Table 2 in Unit II.), the 

first two sentences following the

of the date of publication of this 

document, Atofina and Crompton may 

not sell, distribute, or use the products

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

[OPP–2004–0115; FRL–7678–1]

Termination of Pesticide Producing 

Establishments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This document announces the 

Agency’s intention to terminate a 

number of pesticide producing 

establishment registrations for failure to 

file annual pesticide producing reports 

as required by section 7 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), and supporting regulations 

found at 40 CFR part 167; and which the 

Agency could not contact through the 

U.S. mailing address on file pursuant to 

FIFRA section 7.

DATES: The pesticide producing 

establishments listed in this document 

will have their establishment 

registration terminated December 6, 

2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pesticide producing establishments 

should contact the EPA Regional Office 

having jurisdiction for the state where 

their parent company is located. A 

listing of the EPA Regional Offices is 

included under Unit III. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to pesticide 

producing establishments, but may be of 

interest to environmental, human 

health, and agricultural advocates; the 

agrochemical industry; pesticide users; 

and members of the public interested in 

pesticide use. This list is not intended 

to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 

guide for readers regarding entities 

likely to be affected by this action. Other 

types of entities not listed in this unit 

could also be affected. If you have any 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to you or a particular entity, 

consult the appropriate regional contact.

II. Background 

Section 7 of FIFRA requires that all 

establishments that produce any 

pesticide or active ingredient used in 

producing a pesticide, or device subject 

to this Act be registered with the 

Agency, and that all such 

establishments submit annual 

production reports to the Agency. The 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 167 

establish requirements concerning these 

annual reports and the information that 

must be in annual reports (40 CFR 

167.85). The regulations state that 

establishment registrations will be 

subject to termination if an annual 

report is not submitted (40 CFR 

167.20(f)).

Notwithstanding the requirements 

identified above, no annual production 

reports were received from the 

establishments identified in this 

document in 2000, 2001, 2002, and/or 

2003. The mailings sent to the last 

reported address of the companies 

identified in this document were 

returned unopened to the Agency, with 

indications of ‘‘undeliverable’’ or 

‘‘address unknown’’ as the reason for 

the return. Subsequent attempts to 

locate the identified companies and 

establishments were unsuccessful. 

Additionally, some of the companies 

and/or establishments are out of 

business. Therefore, the Agency is 

terminating, without further notice, the 

registrations of the identified 

establishments pursuant to 40 CFR 

167.20(f) for failure to submit the annual 

reports in 2003.

Following termination of each 

pesticide producing establishment’s 

registration, sale or distribution in the 

United States of any pesticide product 

produced in an establishment 

subsequent to the termination of that 

establishment’s registration will be 

considered unlawful and a violation of 

section 12 of FIFRA, subject to possible 

civil and/or criminal penalties. This 

document will not preclude the Agency 

from seeking other appropriate remedies 

necessary for compliance with FIFRA.
