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 and Considerations for 

Reregistration of Methyl Bromide 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation must submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked 

before October 30, 2009. This written 

withdrawal of the request for 

cancellation will apply only to the 

applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request 

listed in this notice. 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 which are 

currently in the United States and 

which were packaged, labeled, and 

released for shipment prior to the 

effective date of the cancellation order. 

In any order issued in response to 

these requests for amendments to 

terminate 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: 

All sale or distribution by the 

registrant of existing stocks labeled for 

post-harvest alfalfa hay and post-harvest 

cottonseed uses is prohibited after 

October 31, 2009, unless that sale or 

distribution is solely for the purpose of 

facilitating disposal or export of the 

product. Existing stocks labeled for 

post-harvest alfalfa hay and post-harvest 

cottonseed uses may be sold and 

distributed by persons other than the 

registrant until October 31, 2010. 

Existing stocks labeled for post-harvest 

alfalfa hay and post-harvest cottonseed 

uses may be used until all such stocks 

are exhausted, provided that such use 

complies with the EPA-approved label 

of the product. 

If the request for use termination is 

granted, the Agency intends to publish 

the cancellation order in the Federal 

Register.

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58(c), 

this notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for Pseudomonas syringae, case 6007. 

The Registration Review Case for 

Pseudomonas syringae was composed of 

the following Active Ingredients: 

Pseudomonas syringae strains ESC-10 

and ESC-11 (PC Codes 006441 and 

006451) are microbial pesticides that are 

used to control various molds and rots 

on harvested apples, cherries, pears, 

lemons, oranges, grapefruit, potatoes, 

and sweet potatoes. 

Pseudomonas syringae strain 742RS 

(PC Code 006411) is a microbial 

pesticide that is used to prevent or 

reduce the growth of frost-forming 

bacteria on leaves and blossoms of 

almonds, apples, peaches, pears, 

tomatoes, cherries, potatoes and 

strawberries: 

EPA has deleted the Pseudomonas 

syringae strain 742RS from the 

registration case pursuant to 40 CFR 

155.42(b)(5) because all registrations of 

all products containing that active 

ingredient are cancelled. The registrant 

submitted a voluntary cancellation 

request for all products containing 

strain 742RS on April 7, 2008. These 

proposed voluntary cancellations were 

published (73 FR 53007, September 12, 

2008 FRL–8380–7. No comments were 

received to support Pseudomonas 

syringae strain 742RS products, and 

they were cancelled on March 12, 2009. 

The exemption from the requirement 

of a tolerance for residues of 

Pseudomonas syringae strain 742RS in 

or on all raw agricultural commodities 

when applied as a frost protection agent 

or biological control agent to growing 

agricultural crops in accordance with 

good agricultural practices that is listed 

in 40 CFR 180.1114 was reassessed on 

June 3, 2002 and it was determined that 

it meets the FQPA 1996 safety standard. 

The Agency will take separate action to 

propose revision of any affected 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for Pseudomonas syringae 

strain 742RS that are not supported for 

import use only. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered Pseudomonas syringae 

in light of the FIFRA standard for 

registration. The Pseudomonas syringae 

Final Decision document in the docket 

describes the Agency’s rationale for 

issuing a registration review final 

decision for this pesticide. 

In addition to the final registration 

review decision document, the 

registration review docket for 

Pseudomonas syringae also includes 

other relevant documents related to the 

registration review of this case. The 

proposed registration review decision 

was posted to the docket and the public 

was invited to submit any comments or 

new information. During the 60–day 

comment period, no public comments 

were received. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 155.58(c), 

the registration review case docket for 

Pseudomonas syringae will remain open 

until all actions required in the final 

decision have been completed.

program is provided at: http://
