Michigan 

Department of Agriculture and Rural 

Development 

Specific Exemption: EPA authorized 

the use of acifluorfen on a maximum of 

48,000 acres of sugar beets for 

postemergence control of invasive 

amaranthus (pigweed) spp., waterhemp, 

and palmer amaranth. Time-limited 

tolerances in connection with a 

previous action support this emergency 

use and are established in 40 CFR 

180.383(b). The authorization was 

effective May 4, 2023 

Minnesota 

Department of Agriculture 

Specific exemption: EPA authorized 

the use of acifluorfen on a maximum of 

65,000 acres of sugar beets for 

postemergence control of glyphosateresistant waterhemp. Time-limited 

tolerances in connection with a 

previous action support this emergency 

use and are established in 40 CFR 

180.383(b). The authorization was 

effective May 4, 2023. 

Nebraska 

Department of Agriculture 

Denial: On May 18, 2023, EPA denied 

a specific exemption request for the use 

of metamitron to control glyphosateresistant Palmer amaranth in sugar 

beets. Metamitron is an unregistered 

pesticide and EPA has not yet fully 

evaluated its potential risks. Therefore, 

the request was denied because the 

Agency was unable to make the safety 

findings for metamitron as mandated by 

FIFRA and the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Because an 

unregistered pesticide was requested, a 

Notice of Receipt, with opportunity for 

public comment (required by 40 CFR 

166.24), published in the Federal 

Register on March 10, 2023 (88 FR 

15014) (FRL–10772–01–OCSPP). The 

public comment period closed on March 

27, 2023. No negative comments were 

submitted, but a number of comments 

were received from stakeholders (e.g., 

producers, grower representatives, and 

state government entities) in favor of 

allowing the use. 

North Dakota 

Department of Agriculture 

Specific exemption: EPA authorized 

the use of acifluorfen on a maximum of 

20,000 acres of sugar beets for 

postemergence control of glyphosate 

resistant waterhemp. Time-limited 

tolerances in connection with a 

previous action support this emergency 

use and are established in 40 CFR 

180.383(b). The authorization was 

effective May 4, 2023.

that would merit its further review of 

the requests, or unless the registrants 

withdraw its requests. If these requests

be permitted after the registrations have 

been cancelled only if such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms as described in the final order.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)) provides that a registrant of 

a pesticide product may at any time 

request that any of its pesticide 

registrations be canceled. 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 (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)(B)) 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) (7 U.S.C. 136d(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 registrants in Table 2 of Unit II, 

have requested that EPA waive the 180- 

day comment period. Accordingly, EPA 

will provide a 30-day comment period 

on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

V. 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 cancellation action. Because the 

Agency has identified no significant 

potential risk concerns associated with 

these pesticide products, upon 

cancellation of the products identified 

in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA anticipates 

allowing registrants to sell and 

distribute existing stocks of these 

products for 1 year after publication of 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 168 / Thursday, August 31, 2023 / Notices 60209 

the Cancellation Order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the pesticides identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II, except for export consistent with 

FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for 

proper disposal. Persons other than 

registrants will generally be allowed to 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such sale, distribution, or 

use is consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled products. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. 

Dated: August 24, 2023.
