Dicloran; Cancellation Order for 

Amendment to Terminate a Use of 

DCNA Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the label amendment, which 

was voluntarily requested by the 

registrant and accepted by the Agency, 

to terminate use on carrots for pesticide 

registrations listed in Table 1 in Unit II. 

pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), as amended. This 

cancellation order follows a December 

2, 2009 (74 FR 63151) Federal Register 

Notice of Receipt of Request from the 

registrant listed in Table 2 in Unit II. to 

voluntarily amend to terminate dicloran 

(DCMA) use on carrots. In its December 

2, 2009 Notice, EPA indicated that it 

would issue an order implementing the 

cancellation and amendment to 

terminate the use on carrot, 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 30–day comment period 

ended on January 4, 2010, at which time 

the Agency did not receive any 

comments on the notice. Further, the 

registrant did not withdraw their 

request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues 

in this notice a cancellation order 

granting the requested use termination. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

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 as 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 2, 2010.

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

a registrant of a pesticide product may

the Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

VI. Provisions for Disposition of

registration where the Agency has 

identified no particular risk concerns, 

the registrant has complied with all 

applicable conditions of reregistration, 

conditional registration, and data call 

ins, and the registration is not subject to 

a Registration Standard, Label

ACTION: Notice of Public Comment 

Period and Listening Session. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day 

public comment period and a public 

listening session for the external review 

draft human health assessment titled, 

‘‘Toxicological Review of 

Dichloromethane: In Support of 

Summary Information on the Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS)’’ (EPA/ 

635/R–10/003). The draft assessment 

was prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) 

within EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD). The public 

comment period and external peer 

review meeting, which will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register, are separate 

processes that provide opportunities for 

all interested parties to comment on the 

assessment. EPA intends to forward the 

public comments that are submitted in

review panel prior to the meeting for 

their consideration. When finalizing the 

draft assessment, EPA intends to 

consider any public comments that EPA 

receives in accordance with this notice. 

EPA is also announcing a listening 

session to be held on May 11, 2010, 

during the public comment period for 

this draft assessment. This listening 

session is a step in EPA’s revised IRIS 

process, announced on May 21, 2009, 

for developing human health 

assessments for inclusion in the IRIS 

database. The purpose of the listening 

session is to allow all interested parties 

to present scientific and technical 

comments on draft IRIS health 

assessments to EPA and other interested 

parties during the public comment 

period and before the peer review 

meeting. EPA welcomes the comments 

that will be provided to the Agency by 

the listening session participants. The 

comments will be considered by the 

Agency as it revises the draft assessment 

in response to the independent SAB 

peer review and the public comments. 

All presentations submitted to EPA 

according to the instructions below will 

become part of the official public 

record. 

EPA is releasing this draft assessment 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This assessment has not

policy or determination.

begins March 31, 2010, and ends June 

1, 2010. Comments should be in writing 

and must be received by EPA by June 

1, 2010. 

The listening session on the draft 

assessment for dichloromethane will be 

held on May 11, 2010, beginning at 9

When you register, please indicate if 

you will need audio-visual aid (e.g., 

laptop computer and slide projector). In 

general, each presentation should be no 

more than 30 minutes. If, however, there 

are more requests for presentations than 

the allotted time allows, then the time 

limit for each presentation will be 

adjusted. A copy of the agenda for the 

listening session will be available at the 

meeting. If no speakers have registered 

by May 4, 2010, the listening session 

will be cancelled, and EPA will notify 

those registered of the cancellation. 

Listening session participants who 

want EPA to share their comments with 

the external peer reviewers should also 

submit written comments during the 

public comment period using the 

detailed and established procedures 

described in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice.

to the end of the public comment period 

will be submitted to the external peer 

reviewers and considered by EPA in the 

disposition of public comments. All 

comments received will be submitted to 

the docket, but comments received after 

the public comment period closes will 

not be submitted to the external peer 

reviewers and will only be considered 

by EPA if time permits.
