II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

Under section 4 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating 

existing pesticides to ensure that they 

meet current scientific and regulatory 

standards. Using a modified, 

streamlined version of its public 

participation process, EPA has 

completed a RED for the low risk 

pesticide ethoxyquin, under section 

4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. EPA has 

determined that the data base to support 

reregistration is substantially complete 

and that products containing 

ethoxyquin will be eligible for 

reregistration, provided the risks are 

mitigated either in the manner 

described in the RED or by another 

means that achieves equivalent risk 

reduction. Upon submission of any 

required product-specific data under 

section 4(g)(2)(B), and any necessary 

changes to the registration and labeling 

(either to address any concerns 

identified in the RED or as a result of 

product-specific data), EPA will make a 

final reregistration decision under 

section 4(g)(2)(C) for products 

containing ethoxyquin. 

Ethoxyquin is registered for use as an 

antioxidant to control scald (browning ) 

in pears. It can be applied post-harvest 

by spraying/drenching, paper wrapping, 

or a combination thereof. Currently only 

two formulation types are registered for 

this chemical, which include an 

emulsifiable concentrate (1 product) and 

an impregnated wrap (3 products). 

EPA must review tolerances, and 

tolerance exemptions that were in effect 

when the Food Quality Protection Act 

(FQPA) was enacted in August 1996, to 

ensure that these existing pesticide 

residue limits for food, and feed 

commodities meet the safety standard 

established by the new law. Tolerances 

are considered reassessed once the 

safety finding has been made or a 

revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed 

and made the requisite safety finding for 

the ethoxyquin tolerances included in 

this notice. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

under going reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide 

Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register of May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819) 

(FRL–7357–9), explains that in 

conducting these programs, the Agency 

is tailoring its public participation 

process to be commensurate with the 

level of risk, extent of use, complexity 

of issues, and degree of public concern 

associated with each pesticide. EPA can 

expeditiously reach decisions for 

pesticides like ethoxyquin, which pose 

few risk concerns, have low use, affect 

few if any stakeholders, and require 

little risk mitigation. Once EPA assesses 

uses and risks for such pesticides, the 

Agency may go directly to a decision 

and prepare a document summarizing 

its findings. The Agency, therefore is 

issuing the low-risk ethoxyquin RED, 

risk assessments, and related documents 

simultaneously for public comment. 

The reregistration program is being 

conducted under congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need to make timely 

decisions, and to involve the public in 

finding ways to effectively mitigate 

pesticide risks. Ethoxyquin, however, 

poses few risks that require mitigation. 

The Agency, therefore is issuing the 

ethoxyquin RED, its risk assessments, 

and related support materials 

simultaneously for public comment. 

The comment period is intended to 

provide an opportunity for public input 

and a mechanism for initiating any 

necessary amendments to the RED. All 

comments should be submitted using 

the methods in Unit I.C. and must be 

received by EPA on or before the closing 

date. These comments will become part 

of the EPA Docket for ethoxyquin. 

Comments received after the close of the 

comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’

EPA is not required to consider these 

late comments. 

EPA will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a response to 

comments memorandum in the Docket 

and electronic EDocket. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the ethoxyquin RED 

will be implemented as it is now 

presented. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in 

product-specific data on individual enduse products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. 

This review is to be completed by 

August 3, 2006.

your response. It would also be helpful 

if you provided the name, date, and 

Federal Register citation related to your 

comments.

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Request to Cancel

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from New Nautical 

Coatings, Inc. to cancel a tributyltin 

methacrylate product registration. This 

product is registered as an antifouling 

paint for use on ship and boat hulls to 

deter the growth of fouling organisms. 

New Nautical Coatings, Inc. requested 

the voluntary cancellation of its EPA 

Registration Number 44891–6 in a letter 

to the Agency dated September 28, 

2004, and further requested that it be 

allowed to continue to sell its product 

with this registration number for an 18–

month period. Subsequently, on October 

28, 2004, New Nautical Coatings, Inc. 

replaced the earlier letter with a new 

letter in which it requested the 

voluntary cancellation of EPA 

Registration Number 44891–6 with an 

existing stocks provision to end as of 

January 1, 2006. This product is the 

final remaining tributyltin antifouling 

paint registration. After the Agency’s 

action on this request for voluntary 

cancellation, all U.S. tributyltin 

antifouling paint registrations will have 

been terminated.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from a registrant to cancel 

a tributyltin methacrylate product 

registration. The affected product and 

the registrant making the request are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.

Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, 

registrants may request, at any time, that 

their pesticide registrations be canceled 

or amended to terminate one or more 

pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of 

FIFRA requires that before acting on a 

request for voluntary cancellation, EPA 

must provide a 30–day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA 

requires that EPA provide a 180–day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless:

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the 180–day comment period, or

2. The Administrator determines that 

continued use of the pesticide would 

pose an unreasonable adverse effect on 

the environment.

New Nautical Coatings, Inc. has 

requested that EPA waive the 180–day 

comment period. EPA will provide a 

30–day comment period on the 

proposed request. New Nautical 

Coatings, Inc. has also made its request 

irrevocable. Unless the Agency 

determines that there are substantive 

comments that warrant further review of 

this request, an order will be issued 

canceling the affected registration after 

the close of the 30–day public comment 

period.

IV. 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 Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

V. 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.

In any order issued in response to this 

request for cancellation of a product 

registration, EPA proposes to include 

the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

product identified in Table 1. New 

Nautical Coatings, Inc. will be permitted 

to sell or distribute existing stocks of its 

product, EPA Registration Number 

44891–6, through December 31, 2005.

If the request for voluntary 

cancellation is granted, the Agency 

intends to issue a cancellation order that 

will allow persons other than the 

registrant to continue to sell and/or use 

existing stocks of canceled products 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such use is consistent 

with the terms of the previously 

approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled product. The 

order will specifically prohibit any use 

of existing stocks that is not consistent 

with such previously approved labeling. 

If, as the Agency currently intends, the 

final cancellation order contains the 

existing stocks provision just described, 

the order will be sent only to the 

affected registrant of the canceled 

products. If the Agency determines that 

the final cancellation order should 

contain existing stocks provisions 

different than the ones just described, 

the Agency will publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register.
