Imidacloprid, Methomyl, and Oxamyl; 

Cancellation Order for Amendments To 

Terminate Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for amendments to terminate uses, 

voluntarily requested by registrants and 

accepted by the Agency, of products 

containing imidacloprid, methomyl, and 

oxamyl, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This cancellation order follows a 

January 11, 2012 Federal Register 

Notice of Receipt of Requests from the 

registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II to 

voluntarily amend certain imidacloprid 

pesticide registrations to terminate use 

on almonds, to voluntarily amend 

certain methomyl product registrations 

to delete use on grapes, and to 

voluntarily amend oxamyl product 

registrations to delete use on soybeans. 

These are not the last products 

containing imidacloprid, methomyl, or 

oxamyl registered for use in the United 

States. In the January 11, 2012 Notice, 

EPA indicated that it would issue an 

order implementing the amendments to 

terminate uses, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 30-day comment period that would 

merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrants 

withdrew their requests. The Agency 

did not receive any comments on the 

notice. Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested amendments 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 amendments are effective 

April 11, 2012.

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

During the public comment period 

provided, EPA received no comments in 

response to the January 11, 2012 

Federal Register Notice announcing the 

Agency’s receipt of the requests for 

voluntary amendments to delete uses of 

products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

amendments to terminate use of 

imidacloprid on almonds, methomyl on 

grapes, and oxamyl on soybeans for the 

product registrations identified in Table 

1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency 

hereby orders that the product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II are amended to terminate the 

affected uses. The effective date of the 

cancellations that are the subject of this 

notice is April 11, 2012. Any 

distribution, sale, or use of existing 

stocks of the products 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 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 EPA Administrator may approve 

such a request. The notice of receipt for 

this action was published for comment 

on January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1684) (FRL– 

9328–2). The comment period closed on 

February 10, 2012. 

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 action. The existing 

stock provisions for the products subject 

to this order are as follows. 

Once EPA has approved amended 

imidacloprid product labels reflecting 

the requested amendments to delete use 

on almonds, registrants are permitted to 

sell or distribute products listed in 

Table 1 of Unit II under the previously 

approved labeling until October 11, 

2013, a period of 18 months after 

publication of the cancellation order in 

this Federal Register, unless other 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2012 / Notices 21769 

restrictions have been imposed. 

Thereafter, imidacloprid registrants will 

be prohibited from selling or 

distributing the products whose labels 

include the deleted use identified in 

Table 1 of Unit II, except for export 

consistent with FIFRA section 17, or for 

proper disposal. 

For methomyl, now that EPA has 

approved amended product labels 

reflecting the requested amendments to 

delete use on grapes, the registrants are 

permitted to sell or distribute products 

under the previously approved labeling 

until June 8, 2012. Thereafter, 

registrants will be prohibited from 

selling or distributing the products 

whose labels include the deleted use 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 or for proper disposal. 

For imidacloprid and methomyl, 

persons other than the registrants may 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

products whose labels include the 

deleted uses until supplies are 

exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

deleted uses. 

For the oxamyl voluntary amendment, 

use on soybeans was removed from all 

oxamyl product labels in 2006 following 

the Oxamyl Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision. Because the soybean use has 

not been included on oxamyl product 

labels since 2006, no existing stocks 

period is needed.

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and 

Status Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

any person who intends to manufacture 

(defined by statute to include import) a 

new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on 

the TSCA Chemical Substances 

Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify 

EPA and comply with the statutory 

provisions pertaining to the 

manufacture of new chemicals. Under 

TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA 

is required to publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish in the 

Federal Register periodic status reports 

on the new chemicals under review and 

the receipt of notices of commencement 

(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. 

This document, which covers the period 

from February 20, 2012 to February 29, 

2012, and provides the required notice 

and status report, consists of the PMNs 

pending or expired, and the NOC to 

manufacture a new chemical that the 

Agency has received under TSCA 

section 5 during this time period. 

DATES: Comments identified by the 

specific PMN number or TME number, 

must be received on or before May 11, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID)

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the comment that is placed in 

the docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available
