III. 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. 

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 registrant in Table 2 of Unit II. 

has requested that EPA waive the 180– 

day comment period. Accordingly, EPA 

will provide a 30–day comment period 

on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

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 cancellation action. Because the 

Agency has identified no significant 

potential risk concerns associated with 

these pesticide products, upon 

cancellation of the products identified 

in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates 

allowing registrants to sell and 

distribute existing stocks of these 

products for 1 year after publication of 

the Cancellation Order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the pesticides identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II., except for export consistent 

with FIFRA section 17 or for proper 

disposal. Persons other than registrants 

will generally be allowed to sell, 

distribute, or use existing stocks until 

such stocks are exhausted, provided that 

such sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled products.

Methyl Parathion; 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 the 

registrant to voluntarily cancel their 

section 24(c) Special Local Needs (SLN) 

registrations of certain products 

containing the pesticide methyl 

parathion. The request would delete 

methyl parathion use in or on sweet 

potatoes, walnuts, and yams. The 

request would terminate the last methyl 

parathion products registered for use in 

the United States. 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 its 

request. If this request is granted, any 

sale, distribution, or use of products 

listed in this notice will be permitted 

after the registration has been canceled 

only if the sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms as described 

in the final order. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 22, 2010.

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

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 the registrant, United 

Phosphorus, Inc., to cancel certain 

methyl parathion product registrations. 

Methyl parathion is a restricted use 

organophosphate insecticide and 

acaricide. In a letter dated August 6, 

2010, United Phosphorus, Inc., 

requested EPA to cancel certain 

pesticide product registrations 

identified in Table 1 of Unit III. 

Specifically, the registrant requested 

voluntary cancellation of all section 

24(c) SLN registrations for methyl 

parathion. This cancellation request is 

directly related to the Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA) signed on March 29, 

2010, between Cheminova A/S, 

Cheminova, Inc., United Phosphorus, 

Inc., and the Agency. In this MOA, the 

registrants agreed to voluntarily cancel 

all methyl parathion product 

registrations including the parent 

product for these SLNs. The Agency 

previously issued a cancellation order 

for the parent products containing 

methyl parathion on July 27, 2010 

(75 FR 43981). This action on the 

registrant’s request will terminate the 

last methyl parathion products 

registered in the United States.

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 methyl parathion registrant has 

requested that EPA waive the 180-day 

comment period. Accordingly, EPA will 

provide a 30-day comment period on 

the proposed requests. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation or use 

deletion should submit the withdrawal 

in writing to the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

VI. 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. 

As specified in the MOA, registrants 

are prohibited from selling and 

distributing end-use products as of 

December 31, 2012. Persons other than 

the registrants are permitted to sell or 

distribute end-use products prior to 

August 31, 2013. All sales and 

distributions of end-use products shall 

be prohibited as of August 31, 2013, 

except for exports consistent with 

section 17 of FIFRA or for proper 

disposal. Additionally, all use of 

existing stocks of the end-use products 

shall be prohibited as of December 31, 

2013.
