Calcium Thiosulfate; Notice of Receipt 

of Request to Voluntarily Cancel 

Certain Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 

notice of receipt of a request by a 

registrant to voluntarily cancel their 

registrations of certain products 

containing the pesticide calcium 

thiosulfate. The request would 

terminate the last calcium thiofulfate 

product registered for use in the U.S. 

EPA intends to grant this request 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 request, or unless 

the registrant withdraws their request 

within this period. Upon acceptance of 

this request, any sale, distribution, or 

use of products listed in this notice will 

be permitted 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 May 4, 2007.

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests to Cancel and/or Amend 

Registrations to Delete Uses 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from United Industries 

Corp. to cancel 8860–67 Liquid LimeSulphur 32 Degrees Baume product 

registration. In a letter dated January 24, 

2007, United Industries Corp. requested 

EPA to cancel affected product 

registrations identified in this notice 

(Table 1). Specifically, United Industries 

Corp. requests voluntary cancellation of 

the product Liquid Lime-Sulphur 32 

Degrees Baume due to lack of use. This 

product has never been manufactured or 

marketed by United Industries Corp. 

Action on the registrant’s request will 

terminate the last calcium thiosulfate 

products registered in the United States. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from a registrant to cancel 

calcium thiosulfate product 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, 

registrants may request, at any time, that 

their pesticide registrations be canceled 

or amended to terminate one or more 

pesticide uses. 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, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA 

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 Administrator determines that 

continued use of the pesticide would 

pose an unreasonable adverse effect on 

the environment. 

The calcium thiosulfate registrant has 

requested that EPA waive the 180–day 

comment period. EPA will provide a 

30–day comment period on the 

proposed request. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant within 30 days of publication 

of this notice, or if the Agency 

determines that there are substantive 

comments that warrant further review of 

this request, an order will be issued 

canceling the affected registration.

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. Thereafter, 

following the public comment period, 

the Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request and Considerations for 

Reregistration of Calcium Thiosulfate 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation must submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked 

before 30 days after date of publication 

in the Federal Register. This written 

withdrawal of the request for 

cancellation will apply only to the 

applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request 

listed in this notice. 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 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 Notice proposes the following 

existing stocks provision: The 

prohibition on sales, distribution, and 

use of existing stocks by the registrant 

will be effective on the date of the 

cancellation order. 

Persons other than the registrant will 

be able to continue to sell and/or use 

existing stocks of cancelled products 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such use is consistent 

with the terms of the previously 

approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the cancelled product. 

The order will specifically prohibit any 

use of existing stocks that is not 

consistent with such previously 

approved labeling. If, as the Agency 

currently intends, the final cancellation 

order contains the existing stocks 

provision just described, the order will 

be sent only to the affected registrants 

of the cancelled products. If the Agency 

determines that the final cancellation 

order should contain existing stocks 

provisions different than the ones just 

described, the Agency will publish the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register.
