 Environmental Protection Agency [EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-1065; FRL-8854-8]
 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
 ACTION: Notice.
 SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Tables 1A and 1B of Unit II., pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows two Notices of Receipt of Requests from the respective registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. The notice dated August 25, 2010, pertains to the fenoxycarb product registrations and the notice dated August 18, 2010, pertains to the propetamphos product registrations. In those notices, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment periods that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice for fenoxycarb or propetamphos and neither request was withdrawn. 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 as provided in Unit IV.

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. The existing stocks provisions for the products subject to this order are as follows. A. Disposition of Existing Stocks for All Fenoxycarb (Table 1A) Products Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. is prohibited from using, selling, or distributing technical fenoxycarb (EPA Reg. No. 100-723), except for (i) Export consistent with FIFRA section 17, (ii) for proper disposal, or (iii) to formulate existing stocks of the technical fenoxycarb (EPA Reg. No. 100-723) into its end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 100-722) effective immediately. After December 31, 2012, Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. is prohibited from selling or distributing its end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 100-722), except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons other than Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. are allowed to sell, distribute, and use existing stocks of the canceled end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 100-722) until supplies are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, and use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product. Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc. is permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of its end-use fenoxycarb product (EPA Reg. No. 499-437) until December 31, 2013. Thereafter, Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc. is prohibited from selling or distributing its end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 499-437), except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons other than Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc. are allowed to sell, distribute, and use existing stocks of the canceled end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 499-437) until supplies are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, and use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product.
                    ( print page 82389) B. Disposition of Existing Stocks for All Table 1B Products Wellmark International is prohibited from using, selling, or distributing propetamphos technical (EPA Reg. No. 2724-313), except for (i) Export consistent with FIFRA section 17, (ii) for proper disposal or (iii) to formulate existing stocks of propetamphos technical (EPA Reg. No. 2724-313) into its propetamphos end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 2724-450) effective immediately. After March 30, 2012, Wellmark International is prohibited from using, as well as continuing to be prohibited from selling or distributing, its propetamphos technical (EPA Reg. No. 2724-313), except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. The cancellation of the propetamphos end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 2724-450) is effective March 30, 2012. Wellmark International is permitted to sell or distribute existing stocks of the canceled end-use product (EPA Reg. No. 2724-450) until such stocks are exhausted. Persons other than Wellmark International are allowed to sell, distribute, and use existing stocks of the canceled propetamphos end-use product (EPA Reg. No 2724-450) until supplies are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, and use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product. The existing stocks provisions outlined in this notice are intended to allow depletion of the amount of technical propetamphos (EPA Reg. No. 2724-313) that Wellmark International currently has on-hand from purchases made prior to its decision to request voluntary cancellation. Use until depletion will preclude environmental disposal concerns of quantities of undiluted propetamphos that cannot be formulated or used. List of Subjects Environmental protection
