provide a 30-day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

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

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 comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The registrants in Table 4 of Unit II. 

have requested that EPA waive the 180- 

day comment period. Accordingly, EPA 

will provide a 30-day comment period 

on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

V. 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. Upon 

cancellation of the products identified 

in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II, the 

Agency will allow existing stocks 

provisions as follows: 

A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit 

II Except Nos. 000056–00056 and 

000056–00069 

The Agency anticipates allowing 

registrants to sell and distribute existing 

stocks of these products for 1 year after 

publication of the Cancellation Order in 

the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

registrants will be prohibited from 

selling or distributing the pesticides 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 or for proper disposal. Persons other 

than registrants will generally be 

allowed to sell, distribute, or use 

existing stocks until such stocks 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. 

B. Registration Nos. 000056–00056 and 

000056–00069 

All sale or distribution of existing 

stocks by the registrants is prohibited 

after issuance of the cancellation order, 

except for export consistent with FIFRA 

section 17 or for proper disposal. 

Persons other than the registrant may 

continue to sell and/or use existing 

stocks of cancelled 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 cancelled 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. 

C. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of Unit 

II 

All sale or distribution of existing 

stocks by the registrants is prohibited 

after publication of the cancellation 

order, unless that sale or distribution is 

solely for the purpose of facilitating 

disposal or export of the products. 

Existing stocks may be sold and 

distributed by persons other than the 

registrant for 120 days after the date of 

publication of the cancellation order. 

Existing stocks may be used until 

exhausted, provided that such use 

complies with the EPA-approved label 

and labeling of the products. 

D. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit 

II 

The effective date of cancellation will 

be the date of the cancellation order. 

The Agency anticipates allowing 

registrants to sell and distribute existing 

stocks of these products until January 

15, 2012, 1 year after the date on which 

the maintenance fee was due. 

Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited 

from selling or distributing the 

pesticides identified in Table 2 of Unit 

II., except for export consistent with 

FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. 

Persons other than registrants will 

generally be allowed to sell, distribute, 

or use existing stocks until such stocks 

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.

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58, 

this notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s proposed registration review 

decisions for the pesticides shown in 

the following table, and opens a 60-day 

public comment period on the proposed 

decisions. 

Fenoxycarb is an O-ethyl carbamate 

derivative insecticide used to control 

fire ants and big-headed ants on turf, 

home lawns, agricultural areas, nonagricultural areas, horse farms, and 

ornamental nursery stock, among other 

areas. Fenoxycarb is also used to control 

a variety of insects in greenhouses in a 

total release fogger product. 

Sodium tetrathiocarbonate is a soil 

fumigant used for the management of 

nematodes and phytophthora root rot, 

oak root fungus, and phylloxera. It is 

registered for use on grapes, citrus, 

almonds, peaches, prunes, and plums 

only in the states of Arizona, California, 

Oregon, and Washington. 

Temephos is a non-systemic 

organophosphate insecticide which is 

applied to standing water, shallow 

ponds, lakes, woodland pools, tidal 

waters, marshes, swamps, waters high 

in organic content, highly polluted 

water, catch basins (and similar areas 

where mosquitoes may breed), stream 

margins, and intertidal zones of sandy 

beaches. Target pests include aquatic 

larvae of mosquitoes, midges, gnats, 

punkies, and sandflies.

The registration review docket for a 

pesticide includes earlier documents 

related to the registration review of the 

case. For example, the review opened 

with the posting of a Summary 

Document, containing a Preliminary 

Work Plan, for public comment. A Final 

Work Plan was posted to the docket 

following public comment on the initial 

docket. 

As stated in the fenoxycarb, sodium 

tetrathiocarbonate, and temephos 

Preliminary Work Plans and Final Work 

Plans for registration review, the Agency 

had intended to revise the existing risk 

assessments. However, after the 

publication of the Final Work Plans, 

pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), as amended, the Agency 

announced receipt of requests to 

voluntarily cancel all fenoxycarb, 

sodium tetrathiocarbonate, and 

temephos product registrations from the 

registrants of these pesticides. After a 

30-day comment period, the EPA 

granted the voluntary cancellation 

requests, establishing effective 

cancellation dates for all of the products 

registered for use in the United States 

containing the active ingredient, 

fenoxycarb on December 31, 2012 

(December 30, 2010, 75 FR 82387) 

(FRL–8854–8), sodium 

tetrathiocarbonate on February 25, 2011 

(February 25, 2011, 76 FR 10587) (FRL– 

8863–4), and temephos on December 31, 

2015 (February 25, 2011, 76 FR 10587) 

(FRL–8863–4). 

Following public comment, the 

Agency will issue final registration 

review decisions for products 

containing the pesticides listed in the 

table in Unit II.A. 

The registration review program is 

being conducted under congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public. 

Section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, required EPA to 

establish by regulation procedures for 

reviewing pesticide registrations, 

originally with a goal of reviewing each 

pesticide’s registration every 15 years to 

ensure that a pesticide continues to 

meet the FIFRA standard for 

registration. The Agency’s final rule to 

implement this program was issued in 

August 2006 and became effective in 

October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR 

part 155, subpart C. The Pesticide 

Registration Improvement Act of 2003 

(PRIA) was amended and extended in 

September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by 

PRIA in 2007, requires EPA to complete 

registration review decisions by October 

1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as 

of October 1, 2007. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

proposed registration review decisions. 

This comment period is intended to 

provide an opportunity for public input 

and a mechanism for initiating any 

necessary amendments to the proposed 

decision. All comments should be 

submitted using the methods in 

ADDRESSES, and must be received by 

EPA on or before the closing date. These 

comments will become part of the 

docket for the pesticides included in the 

table in Unit II.A. Comments received 

after the close of the comment period 

will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

The Agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a ‘‘Response to 

Comments Memorandum’’ in the docket. 

The final registration review decision 

will explain the effect that any 

comments had on the decision and 

provide the Agency’s response to 

significant comments. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review. Links to earlier 

documents related to the registration 

review of these pesticides are provided 

at: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ 

registration_review/ 

reg_review_status.htm. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 

155, subpart C, provide authority for 

this action.
