SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, and 

agricultural advocates; the chemical 

industry; pesticide users; and members 

of the public interested in the sale, 

distribution, or use of pesticides.

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and

your estimate in sufficient detail to

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity

deadline identified. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by the 

Agency of requests from registrants to

III. 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. 

FIFRA further provides that, before 

acting on the request, EPA must publish 

a notice of receipt of any such request 

in the Federal Register. 

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, 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 2 of Unit II. 

have not requested that EPA waive the 

180-day comment period. Accordingly, 

EPA will provide a 180-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 that were 

packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the cancellation action. Because the 

Agency has identified no significant 

potential risk concerns associated with 

these pesticide products, upon 

cancellation of the products identified 

in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA 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.
