Dichlorvos (DDVP): Termination of 

Certain Uses and Label Amendments 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency(EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

cancellation order for the termination of 

certain uses and label amendments, 

voluntarily requested by the registrant 

and accepted by the Agency, of products 

containing the pesticide dichlorvos 

(DDVP), pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This cancellation order follows a June 

30, 2006 Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Request from the DDVP 

registrant to voluntarily terminate 

certain uses of its DDVP products and 

label amendments. The request would 

terminate DDVP use in or on: 

Mushroom house (hand held fogger); 

Greenhouse (hand held fogger); 

Warehouse (hand held fogger); Crack 

and Crevice use; Total Release Fogger, 

Lawn, Turf and Ornamentals; 21 gram 

Pest Strip; 65 gram Pest Strip; 80 gram 

Pest Strip; and 100 gram Pest Strip. The 

request would not terminate the last 

DDVP products registered for use in the 

U.S. In the June 30, 2006 Notice, EPA 

indicated that, subject to certain 

conditions being satisfied, it would 

issue an order to implement the 

termination of certain uses, unless the 

Agency received substantive comments 

within the 30 day comment period that 

would merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrant 

withdrew their request within this 

period. The Agency did not receive any 

comments on the Notice that merit 

further review of these requests. 

Further, the registrant did not withdraw 

their request. Accordingly, EPA hereby 

issues in this notice a cancellation order 

granting the request to terminate the 

uses described above. Any distribution, 

sale, or use of the DDVP 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 

October 20, 2006.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

This notice grants the request by the 

registrant identified in this notice (Table 

2) to terminate certain uses of DDVP. 

DDVP is an organophosphate insecticide 

and fumigant registered for use in 

controlling flies, mosquitoes, gnats, 

cockroaches, fleas, and other insect 

pests. Formulations of DDVP include 

pressurized liquid, granular, 

emulsifiable concentrate, total release 

aerosol, and impregnated material. 

DDVP is applied with aerosols and 

fogging equipment, with ground spray 

equipment, and through slow release 

from impregnated materials, such as 

resin strips and pet collars. DDVP is 

registered to control insect pests on 

agricultural sites; commercial, 

institutional and industrial sites; and for 

domestic use in and around homes (i.e., 

resin strips) and on pets. DDVP is used 

preplant in mushroom houses, and 

postharvest in storage areas for bulk, 

packaged and bagged raw and processed 

agricultural commodities, food 

manufacturing/processing plants, 

animal premises, and non-food areas of 

food-handling establishments. It is also 

registered for direct dermal pour-on 

treatment of cattle and poultry, and 

swine. DDVP is not registered for direct 

use on any field grown commodities. In 

a letter dated May 9, 2006, Amvac 

Chemical Corporation requested EPA to 

amend the pesticide product 

registrations identified in this notice 

(Table 1) to terminate certain uses. 

Specifically, the request would 

terminate DDVP use in or on: 

Mushroom house (hand held fogger); 

Greenhouse (hand held fogger); 

Warehouse (hand held fogger); Crack 

and Crevice use; Total Release Fogger; 

Lawn, Turf and Ornamentals; 21 gram 

Pest Strip; 65 gram Pest Strip; 80 gram 

Pest Strip; and 100 gram Pest Strip. (The 

registration for the 21 gram Pest Strip is 

being replaced by a new registration for 

a 16 gram Pest Strip with amended label 

language; the registrations for the 80 

gram and 65 gram Pest Strips are being 

replaced by new registrations for the 

same size strips with amended label 

language). The request would not 

terminate the last DDVP products 

registered for use in the United States. 

This notice announces the 

termination of certain uses of DDVP 

product registrations. The affected 

products and the registrant making the 

request are identified in the following 

tables of this unit.

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

During the public comment period 

provided, EPA received four comments 

in response to the June 30, 2006 Federal 

Register notice announcing the 

Agency’s receipt of the request for 

voluntary termination of certain uses of 

DDVP. However, these comments do not 

require any amendments to these 

requests. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellation order to terminate certain 

uses of DDVP registrations identified in 

Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the 

Agency also orders that the label 

amendments for the product registration 

identified in Table 2 of Unit II. is hereby 

amended. Any distribution, sale, or use 

of existing stocks of the products 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II. 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. 

This cancellation order will not 

prevent any sale or distribution of 

product to any end use registrant or 

supplemental distributor (‘‘Distributor’’) 

bearing previously approving labeling 

before December 31, 2007, and will not 

prevent any sale or distribution of such 

product by retailers. Furthermore, this 

cancellation order will not prevent the 

sale or distribution of such product by 

Distributors after that date if such sale 

or distribution is for purposes of (i) 

return of material to Amvac, (ii) proper 

disposal, or (iii) export consistent with 

the requirements of section 17 of FIFRA. 

However, with respect to the 

following uses: Mushroom house (hand 

held fogger); greenhouse (hand held 

fogger); warehouse (hand held fogger); 

crack and crevice use; total release 

fogger; and lawn, turf and ornamentals, 

the Agency includes the following 

provisions for the treatment of any 

existing stocks: The distribution, sale or 

use of any existing stocks of such 

products will not be permitted, except 

the EPA intends to allow the sale or 

distribution for purposes of (i) return of 

material to Amvac, (ii) proper disposal, 

or (iii) export consistent with the 

requirements of section 17 of FIFRA.
