Significant New Use Notices (SN–23– 

0002 Through 0006 and SN–23–0008 

Through 0011); Extension of Review 

Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document announces the 

extension of the review periods for 

significant new use notices (SNUNs) 

identified as SN–23–0002 through 0006 

and SN–23–0008 through 0011 

submitted to the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) under the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). 

EPA has determined that an extension 

of the statutory 90-day review periods 

for these SNUNs is necessary to allow 

the Agency to complete the required 

analysis under TSCA, investigate 

potential risk, examine regulatory 

options, and prepare the necessary 

documents should the Agency 

determine that further regulatory action 

is required. 

DATES: The review periods are extended 

to February 28, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the chemical 

manufacturing company that submitted 

the SNUNs. This action may also be of 

interest to persons concerned about 

health, environmental, and/or economic 

aspects of the significant new uses of 

the chemical substances. Since other 

entities may also be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. 

B. How can I access the docket? 

The docket for this action, identified 

by docket identification (ID) number 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023–0061, is available 

online at https://www.regulations.gov or 

in-person at the Office of Pollution 

Prevention and Toxics Docket (OPPT 

Docket), Environmental Protection 

Agency Docket Center (EPA/DC), West 

William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 

3334, 1301 Constitution Ave, NW, 

Washington, DC. The Public Reading 

Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding 

legal holidays. The telephone number 

for the Public Reading Room is (202) 

566–1744, and the telephone number for 

the OPPT Docket is (202) 566–0280. 

Please review the visitor instructions 

and additional information about the 

docket available at https://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

C. What is EPA’s authority for this 

action? 

TSCA section 5(c), 15 U.S.C. 2604(c), 

and 40 CFR 720.75(c) authorize EPA to 

extend, for good cause, the 90-day 

SNUN review period for additional 

periods of time not to exceed in the 

aggregate 90 days. Examples of 

circumstances in which EPA may find 

good cause to extend the review period 

include, but are not limited to, EPA’s 

request for additional information 

relating to a notice during the notice 

review period, EPA’s receipt of 

additional information relating to a 

notice during the notice review period, 

and EPA’s determination that there is a 

significant possibility that a significant 

new use of a chemical will be regulated 

under TSCA sections 5(e) or 5(f) and 

additional time is required for EPA to 

initiate the appropriate regulatory 

action. 

D. What action is the Agency taking? 

For the SNUNs identified in Unit II., 

EPA finds that there is good cause to 

extend the SNUN review periods. Based 

on the Agency’s analysis to date, EPA 

has determined that extensions of the 

SNUN review periods are necessary to 

further investigate potential risk, 

examine regulatory options, and prepare 

the necessary documents, should 

regulatory action be required for the 

significant new uses of the chemical 

substances. Specifically, EPA received 

additional information and amendments 

to all nine of the notices during the 

review periods which required 

additional time for EPA to review and 

include in the assessment in order to 

determine and initiate the appropriate 

regulatory action. 

II. What notices are subject to this 

extension? 

On December 30, 2022, EPA received 

SNUNs SN–23–0002 through 0006 and 

SN–23–0008 through 0011 for 

significant new uses of the following

Chlorpyrifos; Amendment to Existing 

Stocks Provisions of Chlorpyrifos 

Cancellation Order for Certain 

Chlorpyrifos Products 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On August 31, 2022, EPA 

announced its final cancellation order 

for 16 chlorpyrifos products, voluntarily 

requested by the registrants and 

accepted by the Agency, pursuant to the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This notice 

amends the existing stocks terms of that 

cancellation order with respect to one 

product Liberty Chlorpyrifos 4E 

registered by Liberty Crop Protection, 

LLC, and its supplemental distributor 

product, Vesper, registered by Innvictis 

Crop Care, LLC (Innvictis).

identified under docket identification 

(ID) number EPA–HQ–OPP–2022–0223,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

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 

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 

by this action. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

On August 31, 2022, EPA issued an 

order cancelling several chlorpyrifos 

products, including Liberty Chlorpyrifos 

4E (EPA Reg. No. 89168–24). See 87 FR 

53471 (August 31, 2022) (FRL–10138– 

01–OCSPP). The provisions for 

disposition of existing stocks laid out in 

Unit IV of that cancellation order 

prohibited all sale, distribution, and use 

of the cancelled chlorpyrifos products, 

‘‘except for export consistent with 

FIFRA section 17, 7 U.S.C. 136o or for 

proper disposal.’’ These terms also 

apply to Vesper (EPA Reg. No. 89168– 

24–89391), which is a supplemental 

distributor product of Liberty 

Chlorpyrifos 4E. See 40 CFR 152.132(e). 

Since that time, Adama has developed 

a return program agreement with EPA 

that facilitates the return of certain 

chlorpyrifos products to Adama. See 

Cancellation Order for Certain 

Chlorpyrifos Uses and Registrations, 88 

FR 28541 (May 4, 2023) (FRL–10924– 

01–OCSPP). Adama has requested that 

EPA allow them to accept returns of 

existing stocks of Liberty Chlorpyrifos 

4E (EPA Reg. No. 89168–24) and its 

supplemental distributor product, 

Vesper (EPA Reg. No. 89168–24–89391). 

To allow for the legal and orderly 

disposition of those products, EPA is 

amending the August 31, 2022 

cancellation order to allow distribution 

of Liberty Chlorpyrifos 4E (EPA Reg. No. 

89168–24), including its supplemental 

distributor product Vesper (EPA Reg. 

No. 89168–24–89391), consistent with 

the terms of Adama’s revised return 

program agreement. 

III. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks and Returning Products 

to Adama 

Adama previously requested, and 

EPA approved, the return of existing 

stocks of its own registrations that are in 

the hands of end users and distributors. 

At this time, the Agency is also allowing 

Adama to accept existing stocks of 

Liberty Chlorpyrifos 4E (EPA Reg. No. 

89168–24) and Vesper (EPA Reg. No. 

89168–24–89391). Existing stocks are 

those stocks of registered pesticide 

products that were (and still are) in the 

United States and packaged, labeled, 

and released for shipment prior to 

August 31, 2022. 

The Liberty Chlorpyrifos 4E product 

and the Vesper product are only 

registered for use on food crops; 

therefore, use of existing stocks 

continue to be prohibited. Moreover, 

because sale and distribution of 

chlorpyrifos products for use on food 

and feed is inconsistent with the 

purposes of FIFRA, all sale and 

distribution of the Liberty Chlorpyrifos 

4E product and the Vesper product 

discussed herein is prohibited, except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 (7 U.S.C. 136o); proper disposal; or 

distribution consistent with the terms of 

the individual return program 

agreement EPA has approved for 

Adama. Adama’s revised return program 

agreement was approved by the Agency 

on October 31, 2023. Adama was 

notified of the approval of their return 

program agreements on October 31, 

2023. 

Additional information regarding the 

revised chlorpyrifos return programs for 

Adama may be found in https://

www.regulations.gov/docket/EPA-HQOPP-2021-0523 and/or https://

www.regulations.gov/docket/EPA-HQOPP-2022-0223 or by contacting the 

registrants at Liberty and Innvictis (208)
