Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB); 

Notice of Receipt of Requests To 

Voluntarily Amend Registrations To 

Terminate Certain Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing 

a notice of receipt of requests by the 

registrant to voluntarily amend PCNB 

registrations for one manufacturing-use 

product and two end-use products to 

terminate or delete a number of uses. 

The requests would delete the use of 

Technical Grade PCNB (EPA 

Registration #5481–197) for formulation 

into products for use as seed treatments 

(except for the treatment of cloves of 

garlic) and products for use on certain 

non-residential terrestrial non-food 

crops. The requests also would 

terminate the use of the PCNB product 

with EPA Registration #5481–8988 on 

bedding plants, flowering plants, foliage 

plants, and bulb crops, and the use of 

the PCNB product with EPA 

Registration #5481–8992 on bedding 

plants, flowering plants, foliage plants, 

azaleas, camellias, gladiolus (broadcast), 

and cut flowers. These use deletion 

requests are detailed in Table 1 in Unit 

III. The requests would not terminate 

the last PCNB products registered for 

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 registrant 

withdraws its request(s). If these 

requests are granted, any sale, 

distribution, or use of products listed in 

this notice will be permitted after the 

uses are deleted only if such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms as described in the final order. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 7, 2014.

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. Since 

others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests To Amend Registrations To 

Delete Uses 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from the registrant Amvac to 

delete certain uses of PCNB product 

registrations. PCNB is a fungicide used 

to control diseases of turf, ornamentals, 

cole crops, potatoes, cotton, and other 

agricultural and horticultural crops. In 

letters dated November 21, 2011, and 

August 24, 2012, and as clarified in later 

discussions, Amvac requested that EPA 

delete certain uses of the pesticide 

product registrations identified in Table 

1 of Unit III. Specifically, Amvac 

requested that the Agency amend the 

technical product registration to delete 

the use as a seed treatment (except for 

the treatment of cloves of garlic), as well 

as the uses on a number of nonresidential terrestrial non-food crops. 

Amvac additionally requested use 

deletions for two end-use PCNB 

products as shown in Table 1 of Unit III 

of this Notice. Amvac is requesting 

these use terminations pursuant to 

requests by EPA after the Agency’s 

review of AMVAC’s revised 

Confidential Statement of Formula 

(CSF) for the technical grade material. 

These use deletions, along with new 

directions for use for the remaining 

uses, will reduce worker exposures to 

impurities of toxicological significance 

found in this pesticide. The requests 

will not terminate the last PCNB 

products registered in the United States. 

III. What action is the agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from a registrant to delete 

certain uses of certain PCNB product 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrant making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant or if the Agency determines 

that there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order 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. 

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 PCNB registrant has requested 

that EPA waive the 180-day comment 

period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 

30-day comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation or use 

deletion should submit the withdrawal 

in writing to the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the 

products(s) have been subject to a 

previous cancellation action, the 

effective date of cancellation 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 that are 

currently in the United States and that 

were packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the action. If the requests to delete uses 

are granted, the Agency intends to 

publish the use deletion order in the 

Federal Register. 

In any order issued in response to 

these requests to delete uses, EPA 

proposes to include the following 

provisions for the treatment of any 

existing stocks of the products listed in 

Table 1 of Unit III. 

Once EPA has announced the order to 

delete the subject uses from these 

registrations, the registrant will not be 

permitted to sell or distribute products 

under the previously approved labeling 

(that is, product bearing labeling that 

includes the use sites for which the 

registrant has requested cancellation), 

except for export consistent with FIFRA 

section 17 or for proper disposal.

The registrant will be permitted to 

relabel the products listed in Table 1 of 

Unit III to conform with the requested 

use deletions as long as the registrant 

has verified that the products have been 

formulated from Technical PCNB that 

complies with the certified limits as 

amended on November 23, 2011 and 

June 13, 2012, and the registrant retains 

records demonstrating such compliance.

Request for Public Comment on 

Proposed Stipulated Injunction 

Involving Five Pesticides and Pacific 

Salmonid Species Listed as 

Threatened or Endangered Under the 

Endangered Species Act; Notice of 

Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is requesting comments 

on a proposed stipulated injunction 

that, among other things, would 

reinstitute streamside no-spray buffer 

zones to protect endangered or 

threatened Pacific salmon and steelhead 

in California, Oregon, and Washington. 

The stipulated injunction would settle 

litigation brought against EPA by the 

Northwest Center for Alternatives to 

Pesticides (NCAP) and others in U.S. 

District Court in Washington State. 

These buffers were originally 

established by the same court in prior 

litigation brought against EPA by the 

Washington Toxics Coalition (WTC) and 

others. Like the original buffer zones, 

the limitations in this proposed 

stipulated injunction would be part of a 

court order but would not be 

enforceable as labeling requirements 

under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The nospray buffer zones will apply to the 

pesticides carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, 

diazinon, malathion, and methomyl. 

These buffers would remain in place 

until EPA implements any necessary 

protections for Pacific salmon and 

steelhead based on reinitiated 

consultations with the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS). EPA is 

reevaluating these pesticides in 

connection with its current FIFRA 

registration review process and the 

proposed stipulated injunction would 

reinstitute the buffers in the interim. 

EPA will evaluate all comments 

received during the 30-day public 

comment period to determine whether 

all or part of the proposed stipulated 

injunction warrants reconsideration or 

revision. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 7, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–0301, by 

one of the following methods:
