Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4- 

DP. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellations of Aldicarb, Aliphatic 

Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper 

Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene 

Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, 

Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP 

registrations identified inTable 1. 

Accordingly, the Agency orders that the 

product registrations identified in Table 

1 are hereby canceled. Any distribution, 

sale, or use of existing stocks of the 

products identified in Table 1 in a 

manner inconsistent with any of the 

Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be 

considered a violation of FIFRA. 

V. 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. 

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. 

The cancellation order issued in this 

notice includes the following existing 

stocks provisions. 

The effective date of cancellation will 

be the date of the cancellation order. 

The orders effecting these requested 

cancellations will generally permit a 

registrant to sell or distribute existing 

stocks until all stocks are exhausted, 

unless other factors (such as hazard) 

necessitate modified terms. Exceptions 

to this general rule will be made if a 

product poses a risk concern, or is in 

noncompliance with reregistration 

requirements, or is subject to a data callin. 

Unless the provisions of an earlier 

order apply, existing stocks already in 

the hands of dealers or users can be 

distributed, sold, or used legally until 

they are exhausted, provided that such 

further sale and use comply with the 

EPA-approved label and labeling of the 

affected product. Exception to these 

general rules will be made in specific 

cases when more stringent restrictions 

on sale, distribution, or use of the 

products or their ingredients have 

already been imposed, as in a special 

review action, or where the Agency has 

identified significant potential risk 

concerns associated with a particular 

chemical.

Disulfoton and Methamidophos; 

Product Cancellation Order 

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 pesticide 

products containing disulfoton or 

methamidophos, pursuant to section 

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

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation 

order follows a July 22, 2009 Federal 

Register Notice of Receipt Requests 

(FRL–8427–2) from the disulfoton and 

methamidophos registrants to 

voluntarily cancel their product 

registrations. These are the last 

disulfoton and methamidophos 

products registered for use in the United 

States. In the July 22, 2009 Notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the cancellations, unless 

the Agency received substantive 

comments within the 30 day comment 

period that would merit its further 

review of these requests, or unless the 

registrants withdrew their requests 

within this period. The Agency did not 

receive any comments on the notice. 

Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this Notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested cancellations. Any 

distribution, sale or use of disulfoton 

and methamidophos products subject to 

this cancellation order is permitted only 

in accordance with the terms of this 

order, including any existing stock 

provisions. 

DATES: This order is effective on 

September 23, 2009.

Proposed Administrative Agreement 

and Order on Consent Pursuant to the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act for Certain Remedial Activities at 

the South Minneapolis Residential Soil 

Contamination Site 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’). 

ACTION: Notice; Request for public 

comment on proposed CERCLA 

administrative agreement and order on 

consent with Open Arms of Minnesota 

for the South Minneapolis Residential 

Soil Contamination Superfund Site. 

SUMMARY: Notification is hereby given of 

a proposed administrative agreement 

concerning certain remedial activities at 

the South Minneapolis Residential Soil 

Contamination hazardous waste site in 

Minneapolis, Minnesota (the ‘‘Site’’). 

EPA proposes to enter into this 

agreement under the authority of 

sections 122, 106 and 107 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act of 1984, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 

with the approval and participation of 

the U.S. Department of Justice. The 

proposed agreement has been executed 

by Open Arms of Minnesota (the 

‘‘Settling Party’’). 

Under the proposed agreement, the 

Settling Party, which represents that it 

is a Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser 

under CERCLA, would perform the 

remedial actions required under EPA’s 

September 5, 2008 Record of Decision 

for the Settling Party’s properties at 

2514 and 2518 Bloomington Avenue 

South, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 

Settling Party would also pay EPA’s 

costs of overseeing these actions. 

For thirty days following the date of 

publication of this notice, EPA will 

receive written comments relating to 

this proposed agreement. EPA will 

consider all comments received and 

may decide not to enter this proposed 

agreement if comments disclose facts or 

considerations which indicate that the 

proposed agreement is inappropriate, 

improper or inadequate.
