**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


### 21769 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2012 / Notices

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. List of Subjects

Environmental protection, almond, imidacloprid, grape, methomyl, soybean, oxamyl, Pesticides and pests.

**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) number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0123, and the specific PMN number or TME number for the chemical related to your comment, by one of the following methods:
