C. How can I get copies of this 

document and other related 

information? 

A copy of the draft white paper is 

available in the docket under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2013–0442. 

II. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA uses PCA adjustment factors to 

modify modeled concentrations of 

pesticides in surface waters in 

accordance with land cover types (i.e., 

crops) associated with a pesticide’s 

uses. PCA-adjusted concentrations are 

used as estimated drinking water 

concentrations in human health risk 

assessments. Previously, PCAs were 

generated for Hydrologic Unit Code 8 

(HUC–8) regions (part of a hierarchical 

system for classifying and mapping 

drainage areas in the United States). In 

this current update, PCAs have been 

generated for watersheds delineated 

based on surface-source drinking water 

intakes (DWI) of community water 

systems (CWSs) across the United States 

The new PCAs are an improvement 

over previously calculated PCAs in 

terms of their relevance to human health 

risk assessment because they were 

derived for known drinking water 

sources. Out of 6,550 DWI locations, 

which both met the selection criteria for 

watershed delineation and passed a 

Quality Assurance screen, 74% (4,840) 

had delineated watersheds that also 

passed a Quality Assurance screen. 

Summary values are presented in the 

draft white paper along with detailed 

descriptions of their development and 

suggested procedures for their routine 

use in pesticide risk assessment. 

B. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

The Agency’s authority is FIFRA 

(7 U.S.C. 136–136y).

Requests To Voluntarily Cancel and 

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 

registrants to voluntarily amend their 

Iprodione, Pendimethalin, and 

Permethrin product registrations to 

delete one or more uses. The requests 

would delete Iprodione use on rice, 

Pendimethalin use on alfalfa, corn, 

garlic, onions, peanuts, sorghum, 

sugarcane and sunflower, and 

Permethrin use on dogs. The requests 

would not terminate the last Iprodione, 

Pendimethalin, or Permethrin 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 registrants withdraw its requests. If 

these requests are granted, any sale, 

distribution, or use of products listed in 

this notice will be permitted after the 

use has been 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 June 9, 2014.

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests To Cancel and/or Amend 

Registrations To Delete Uses 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from registrants FMC 

Agricultural Products, Drexel Chemical 

Company and Farnam Companies, Inc. 

to delete certain uses of Iprodione, 

Pendimethalin, and Permethrin product 

registrations. In letters dated April 3, 

2014, February 6, 2014 and November 

19, 2013, FMC Agricultural Products, 

Drexel Chemical Company and Farnam, 

respectively, requested EPA to delete 

certain uses of pesticide product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Specifically, FMC Agricultural 

Products Group voluntarily requested 

the deletion of Iprodione use on rice 

from several registrations listed in Table 

1 of Unit II. The registrant also 

requested a 30-day comment period, 

and waived the 180-day comment 

period. Drexel Chemical Company 

voluntarily requested the deletion of 

Pendimethalin use on alfalfa, corn 

(field, pop, sweet), garlic, onions (dry 

bulb, green, welsh), peanuts, sorghum 

(grain), sugarcane and sunflower from 

the Drexel Pendimethalin Technical 

registration. The registrant requested a 

30-day comment period, and waived the 

180-day comment period. Farnam 

Companies, Inc. voluntarily requested 

the deletion of use on dogs from the 

Permethrin Farnam Purge Insecticide 

registration. The registrant waived any 

comment period associated with their 

request for voluntary use deletion. The 

requests would not terminate the last 

Iprodione, Pendimethalin, or 

Permethrin products registered in the 

United States, or the last Iprodione, 

Pendimethalin, or Permethrin pesticide 

products registered in the United States 

for these uses.

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from registrants to delete 

certain uses of Iprodione, 

Pendimethalin, or Permethrin product 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrants 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 Iprodione, Pendimethalin, and 

Permethrin registrants have 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 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 for voluntary 

amendments to delete uses are granted, 

the Agency intends to publish the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register. 

In any order issued in response to 

these requests for amendments 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 approved product 

labels reflecting the requested 

amendments to delete uses, registrants 

will be permitted to sell or distribute 

products under the previously approved 

labeling for a period of 18 months after 

the date of Federal Register publication 

of the cancellation order, unless other 

restrictions have been imposed. 

Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited 

from selling or distributing the products 

whose labels include the deleted uses 

identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 or for proper disposal. 

Persons other than the registrant may 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

products whose labels include the 

deleted uses until supplies are 

exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

deleted uses.
