stipulation filed on October 18, 2019 

and entered by the court on October 22, 

2019, in Center for Biological Diversity 

et al. v. EPA et al. (N.D. Ca) (3:11–cv– 

00293). EPA stated in this settlement 

that it would also include propazine in 

this group of effects determinations. 

EPA is hereby extending the public 

comment period, which was set to end 

on January 5, 2021, to February 19, 

2021. 

After considering a number of 

requests to extend the comment period 

received from various stakeholders, EPA 

is extending the comment period for the 

following reasons: (1) The length, 

complexity, and highly technical nature 

of the draft biological evaluations; (2) 

the need for some stakeholders to 

engage experts familiar with the subject 

matter to assist them with providing 

comments; (3) the large number of 

stakeholders potentially impacted by 

the draft biological evaluations; (4) the 

importance of soliciting feedback from 

stakeholders who may be affected; and 

(5) the stakeholders’ need for additional 

time to review and develop constructive 

comments for these complex and 

lengthy documents. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

in the Federal Register document of 

November 6, 2020. If you have any 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

Tetrachlorvinphos 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the cancellations, voluntarily 

requested by the registrant 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 an August 6, 

2020 Federal Register Notice of Receipt 

of Request from the registrant listed in 

Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel 

these product registrations. In the 

August 6, 2020 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 

registrant withdrew their request. The 

Agency did not receive any comments 

on the notice. Further, the registrant did 

not withdraw their request. 

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 order, including any 

existing stocks provisions. 

DATES: The cancellations are effective 

December 30, 2020.

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7

orders that the product registrations 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are 

canceled. The effective date of the

V. What is the Agency’s authority for

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 August 6, 2020 

((volume 85 number 152) (FRL–10012– 

80)). The comment period closed on 

September 8, 2020. 

VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products that are 

currently in the United States and that 

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. 

Hartz may not ‘‘release for shipment,’’ 

as that term is defined by 40 CFR 152.3, 

any product under EPA Reg. Nos. 2596– 

78 and 2596–79 (dust products) as of 

December 30, 2020 and may not sell or 

distribute existing stocks of its dust 

products after March 31, 2021, except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 

disposal. Hartz may sell or distribute 

existing stocks of EPA Reg. No. 2596–63 

(cat collar) until exhausted. 

Persons other than the registrants may 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

canceled products until supplies are 

exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

canceled products.

n-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP); Final Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) Risk 

Evaluation; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of the final Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) risk 

evaluation of n-Methylpyrrolidone 

(NMP). The purpose of conducting risk 

evaluations under TSCA is to determine 

whether a chemical substance presents 

an unreasonable risk of injury to health 

or the environment under the 

conditions of use, including an 

unreasonable risk to a relevant 

potentially exposed or susceptible 

subpopulation, without consideration of 

costs or other nonrisk factors. EPA has 

determined that specific conditions of 

use of NMP present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health. For those 

conditions of use for which EPA has 

found an unreasonable risk, EPA must 

take regulatory action to address that 

unreasonable risk through risk 

management measures enumerated in 

TSCA. EPA has also determined that 

specific conditions of use do not present 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. For those conditions 

of use for which EPA has found no 

unreasonable risk to health or the 

environment, the Agency’s 

determination is a final Agency action 

and is issued via order in the risk 

evaluation.
