hereby given that the Health Effects 

Subcommittee (HES) of the Advisory 

Council on Clean Air Compliance 

Analysis (Council) will hold a public 

teleconference to discuss its peer review 

report to EPA. The Council was 

established in 1991 pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1990 (see 42 U.S.C. 7612) to provide 

advice, information and 

recommendations on technical and 

economic aspects of analyses and

The Council is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under FACA. The 

HES will provide advice through the 

Council and will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Pursuant to Section 812 of the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments, EPA 

conducts periodic studies to assess 

benefits and costs of the EPA’s 

regulatory actions under the Clean Air 

Act. The Council has provided advice 

on an EPA retrospective study 

published in 1997 and an EPA 

prospective study completed in 1999.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 

notice of receipt of requests by the 

registrants to voluntarily amend their 

registrations to delete uses in certain 

pesticide registrations containing the 

pesticides malathion, diquat dibromide, 

metam-potassium, and metam-sodium. 

The requests would terminate malathion 

use in or on animal premises and barns 

used for dairy and livestock. The 

requests would terminate diquat 

dibromide use in or on sorghum and 

soybean (seed crop only). The requests 

would terminate metam-sodium and 

metam-potassium soil fumigant uses 

(agricultural application) for certain 

products. The requests would not 

terminate the last malathion, diquat 

dibromide, metam-potassium, and 

metam-sodium products registered for 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES

use in the United States. EPA intends to 

grant these requests at the close of the 

comment period for this announcement 

unless the Agency receives substantive 

comments within the comment period 

that would merit its further review of 

the requests, or unless the registrants 

withdraw their requests within this 

period. Upon acceptance of these 

requests, any sale, distribution, or use of

1. In a letter dated December 17, 2009, 

Cheminova, A/S, and Cheminova, Inc., 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
6660 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2010 / Notices 

requested that EPA amend its malathion 

product registrations to delete certain 

uses which are identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Malathion is a broad-spectrum 

organophosphate insecticide. 

2. In a letter dated November 10, 

2009, Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., 

requested that EPA amend its diquate 

dibromide pesticide product 

registrations to delete certain uses 

which are identified in Table 1 of Unit 

III. Diquat dibromide is a non-selective 

contact algicide, defoliant, desiccant 

and herbicide. 

3. In a letter dated October 30, 2009, 

Buckman Laboratories requested that 

EPA amend its metam-sodium and 

metam-potassium pesticide product 

registrations to delete certain uses 

which are identified in Table 1 of Unit 

III. Metam-sodium and metampotassium are broad-spectrum 

fumigants with fungicidal, bactericidal, 

algicidal, herbicidal, insecticidal, 

nematicidal, and antimicrobial 

properties. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from registrants to delete 

uses of malathion, diquat dibromide, 

metam-potassium, and metam-sodium 

product registrations. The affected 

products and the registrants making the 

requests 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 comment period, or 

2. The Administrator determines that 

continued use of the pesticide would 

pose an unreasonable adverse effect on 

the environment. 

The malathion and diquat dibromide 

registrants have requested that EPA 

waive the 180–day comment period. 

EPA will provide a 30–day comment 

period on the proposed requests. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant within 30 days of publication 

of this notice, or if the Agency 

determines that there are substantive 

comments that warrant further review of 

this request, an order will be issued 

amending the affected registrations. 

The metam-potassium and metamsodium registrant has not requested that 

EPA waive the 180–day comment 

period. EPA will provide a 180–day 

comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant within 180 days of 

publication of this notice, or if the 

Agency determines that there are 

substantive comments that warrant 

further review of this request, an order 

will be issued amending the affected 

registrations.

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. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

For malathion products (EPA 

Registration Nos. 4787–46 and 67760– 

40) and diquat dibromide products (EPA 

Registration No. 100–1061) registrants 

who choose to withdraw a request for 

use deletion must submit the 

withdrawal in writing to Eric 

Miederhoff using the methods in 

ADDRESSES. The Agency will consider 

written withdrawal requests postmarked 

no later than March 12, 2010. 

For metam-sodium and metampotassium products (EPA Registration 

Nos. 1448–74, 1448–83, 1448–85, 1448– 

107, 1448–361, and 1448–362) 

registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for use deletion must submit the 

withdrawal in writing to Eric 

Miederhoff using the methods in 

ADDRESSES. The Agency will consider 

written withdrawal requests postmarked 

no later than August 9, 2010. 

This written withdrawal of the 

request for use deletion will apply only 

to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) 

request listed in this notice. If the 

products have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

the use deletion amendment and all 

other provisions of any earlier 

cancellation action are controlling. 

VI. 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 

these requests for amendments to delete 

uses, the Agency proposes to include 

the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

products identified or referenced in 

Table 1 in Unit III. The Agency proposes 

to authorize registrants to sell or 

distribute products under the previously 

approved labeling for a period of 12 

months after approval of the revision, 

unless other restrictions have been 

imposed. 

If the requests for voluntary use 

deletions are granted as discussed in 

this unit, 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 products whose labels include 

the deleted uses until such stocks are 

exhausted, provided that such use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the product whose label 

includes the deleted uses. The order 

will specifically prohibit any use of 

existing stocks that is not consistent 

with such previously approved labeling. 

The Agency will publish the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register.
