C. What Action Is the Agency Taking?

EPA is announcing that American

Cyanamid Company, P.O. Box 400,

Princeton, NJ 08543–0400 has

withdrawn its application to register a

pesticide containing chlorfenapyr for

use on cotton as provided for in section

3(c)(7)(C) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), as amended by the Food

Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).

Chlorfenapyr is an active ingredient not

included in any previously registered

pesticide product. Chlorfenapyr has

been proposed for many uses on several

pests. This withdrawal notice is

applicable to the products PIRATE and

ALERT for use on cotton.

EPA issued a notice in the Federal

Register of December 2, 1998 (63 FR

66534) (FRL–6046–6), which announced

American Cyanamid’s submission of an

application to register a pesticide

product (EPA File Symbols 241–GAT

and 241–GAI) containing an active

ingredient, 4-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-

1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1-

pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (chlorfenapyr),

not included in any previously

registered pesticide product. The

application was for an insecticide/

miticide for use on cotton.

On January 20, 1999 (64 FR 3091)

(FRL–6489–2), EPA published in the

Federal Register a Notice of Availability

of Risk/Benefit Assessments. These

assessments were made available for

public comment in the docket and at

http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/

chlorfenapyr/toc.htm. The Agency

received approximately 400 public

comments in the docket in response to

the notice.

In addition, the Office of Pesticide

Programs submitted EPA’s and

American Cyanamid’s risk assessments

to peer review by the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (‘‘FIFRA’’) Scientific Advisory Panel

(‘‘SAP’’). The SAP met twice to review

the assessments. The SAP reports are

available at:

http://www.epa.gov/oscpmont/sap/

1999/july/finlrpt3.pdf

http://www.epa.gov/oscpmont/sap/

1999/september/finalrpt.pdf.

The Agency also had extensive

discussions with the United States Fish

and Wildlife Service (FWS). The

comments received by the FWS were

taken into consideration in EPA’s

registration assessment.

On March 13, 2000, Susan H.

Wayland, Acting Assistant

Administrator for the Office of

Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic

Substances, signed a decision

memorandum for the denial of

chlorfenapyr use on cotton. Copies of

the decision memorandum are available

in the docket. American Cyanamid has

since decided to withdraw its

application for registration.
