Terminate Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendment to terminate 

uses, voluntarily requested by the 

registrant and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing the pesticide, 

Busan 1024, pursuant to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order 

follows an August 13, 2008 Federal 

Register Notice of Receipt of Request for 

Amendments to Delete Uses from the 

registrant listed in Table 2, to 

voluntarily amend to terminate uses of 

this product registration. This is the last 

product containing this pesticide 

registered for use in the United States. 

In the August 13, 2008 notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the amendment to 

terminate uses, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 30-day comment period that would 

merit its further review of this request, 

or unless the registrant withdrew the 

request within this period. The Agency 

did not receive any comments on the 

notice. Further, the registrant did not 

withdraw the request. Accordingly, EPA 

hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested amendment to terminate uses. 

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 

January 9, 2013.

Register notice announcing the 

Agency’s receipt of the request for 

voluntary amendment to terminate uses

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

amendment to terminate uses of 1- 

Methyl-3,5,7-Triaza-1- 

Azoniatricyclodecane Chloride (Busan 

1024) registration identified in Table 1 

of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency

identified in Table 1 of Unit II. is hereby 

amended to terminate the affected uses. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of existing 

stocks of the product 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 

The Agency has authorized the 

registrants to sell or distribute product 

under the previously approved labeling 

for a period of 12 months after approval 

of the revision, unless other restrictions 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with 
1856 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices 

have been imposed, as in special review 

actions. 

EPA’s existing stocks policy (56 FR 

29362) provides that: ‘‘If a registrant 

requests to voluntarily cancel a 

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 

Improvement Program, or reregistration 

decision, the Agency will generally 

permit a registrant to sell or distribute 

existing stocks for 1 year after the 

cancellation request was received. 

Persons other than registrants will 

generally be allowed to sell, distribute, 

or use existing stocks until such stocks 

are exhausted.’’ 

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. 

The effective date of this cancellation is 

January 9, 2013. The cancellation order 

that is the subject of this notice includes 

the following existing stock provisions: 

The registrant may sell and distribute 

existing stocks of the product listed in 

Table 1 until January 9, 2014. Persons 

other than the registrant may sell and 

distribute existing stocks of the product 

listed in Table 1 until exhausted. Use of 

the product listed in Table 1 may 

continue until existing stocks are 

exhausted, provided that such use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled product.

Assessments; Public Comment 

Opportunity 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: With this document, EPA is 

announcing the availability of and 

opening the 60-day public comment 

period for several draft chemical risk 

assessments. These draft risk 

assessments address five of the initial 

seven chemicals from the Agency’s 

TSCA Work Plan identified on March 1, 

2012, for assessment during 2012. The 

chemicals are antimony trioxide, 

methylene chloride, nmethylpyrrolidone, trichloroethylene, 

and 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8,- 

hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyran. 

Methylene chloride and nmethylpyrrolidone are included in a 

single docket because both assessments 

will be addressed by the same peer 

review panel. EPA is also asking the 

public for nominations of expert peer 

reviewers and to submit names with 

contact information (full name, address, 

affiliation, telephone, and email) within 

30 days of the opening of this public 

comment period. The nominations of 

expert peer reviewers from the public 

will be relayed to the independent peer 

review contractor setting up the 

individual peer review panels. Public 

comments submitted on these draft risk 

assessments will be included in 

materials submitted to peer review 

panels for their reviews of the 

assessments after this public comment 

period closes. 

DATES: Comments for nominations of 

peer reviewers must be received on or 

before February 8, 2013 and comments 

on the draft assessments and the charge 

questions for the external peer reviews 

must be received on or before March 11, 

2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

those interested in environmental and 

human health; the chemical industry; 

chemical users; consumer product 

companies and members of the public 

interested in the assessment of chemical 

risks. Since others also may be

II. What authorities apply to this 

action? 

In the Agency’s February 2012 TSCA 

Work Plan Chemicals Methods 

Document (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/ 

existingchemicals/pubs/ 

wpmethods.pdf), released to the public 

on March 1, 2012, EPA described the 

two-step process the Agency used to 

identify potential candidate chemicals 

for near-term review and assessment 

under the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq.). The 

Agency announced its intent to use the 

TSCA Work Plan to help focus and 

direct the activities of the Existing 

Chemicals Program in the Office of 

Pollution Prevention and Toxics 

(OPPT). EPA also identified an initial 

group of seven of the Work Plan 

Chemicals to begin assessment in 2012. 

EPA invited public comment 

throughout this process through a nonregulatory docket created for this 

activity, EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0516,
