SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

EPA’s IRIS is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to chemical substances 

found in the environment. Through the 

IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based human health 

assessments to support the Agency’s 

regulatory activities. The IRIS database 

contains information for more than 540 

chemical substances that can be used to 

support the first two steps (hazard 

identification and dose-response 

evaluation) of the risk assessment 

process. When supported by available 

data, IRIS provides oral reference doses 

(RfDs) and inhalation reference 

concentrations (RfCs) for chronic 

noncancer health effects and cancer 

assessments. Combined with specific 

exposure information, government and 

private entities use IRIS to help 

characterize public health risks of 

chemical substances in a site-specific 

situation and thereby support risk 

management decisions designed to 

protect public health.

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, and 

agricultural advocates; the chemical 

industry; pesticide users; and members 

of the public interested in the sale, 

distribution, or use of pesticides. Since 

others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your

deadline identified. 

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 registrants Agan 

Chemical Manufacturing, Ltd. and 

Makhteshim Agan of North America, 

Inc. to cancel dicofol product 

registrations. Dicofol is an 

organochlorine miticide which is 

registered for use on beans (dry, lima, 

and green), cotton, hops, mint, peppers, 

tomatoes, citrus, pecans, walnuts, tree 

nuts, cucurbits, grapes, pome fruit, 

stone fruit, strawberries, melons, and 

non-residential lawns and ornamentals. 

In a Memorandum of Agreement dated 

May 17, 2011, Agan Chemical 

Manufacturing, Ltd. and Makhteshim 

Agan of North America, Inc. requested 

that EPA cancel dicofol product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Specifically, the dicofol 

registrants requested cancellation of 

their technical product registration as of 

May 17, 2011. The dicofol registrants 

request cancellation of their end-use 

products, not to be effective before 

October 31, 2013. The dicofol registrants 

have agreed to cease all production of 

dicofol as of May 17, 2011, and to cease 

all sales and distribution of dicofol enduse products by October 31, 2013. The 

dicofol registrants also requested 

amendments to dicofol end-use product 

registrations to add a condition of 

registration that as of August 31, 2011, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Notices 36537 

the dicofol registrants will not sell or 

distribute dicofol end-use products that 

do not bear a prominent sticker prior to 

sale or distribution by the dicofol 

registrants that declares: ‘‘It is unlawful 

to use this product after October 31, 

2016.’’ The Agency’s action on the 

dicofol registrants’ request will 

terminate the last dicofol products 

registered in the United States. 

III. What action is the Agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from registrants to cancel 

certain dicofol product registrations. 

The affected products and the 

registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Unless the Agency determines that 

there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order canceling 

the affected registrations.

27609. 

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. 

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, FIFRA section 6(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 dicofol registrants have requested 

that EPA waive the 180-day comment 

period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 

30-day comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

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 action. If the request for voluntary 

cancellation is granted, the Agency 

intends to publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register. 

In any order issued in response to this 

request for cancellation of product 

registrations, EPA proposes to include 

the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. 

Registrants of dicofol end-use 

products shall be allowed to sell and 

distribute existing stocks until October 

31, 2013, and thereafter only for export 

consistent with the requirements of 

FIFRA section 17 or for purposes of 

proper disposal. Sale and distribution of 

existing stocks of any dicofol product by 

persons other than dicofol registrants 

shall be allowed until December 31, 

2013, and thereafter only for products 

intended for export consistent with the 

requirements of FIFRA section 17 or for 

purposes of proper disposal. Use of 

existing stocks of any end-use product 

shall be allowed until October 31, 2016, 

and thereafter only for purposes of 

proper disposal.
