Chlorpyrifos; Receipt of Requests For

End-Use Product Amendments and

Cancellations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Companies that hold the

pesticide registrations of enduse

pesticide products containing

chlorpyrifos [O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-

trichloro-2-pyridinyl)phosphorothioate]

have asked EPA to cancel or amend

their registrations. Pursuant to section

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), EPA is announcing the

Agency’s receipt of these requests from

the registrants. These requests for

voluntary cancellation and amendment

are the result of a memorandum of

agreement signed by EPA and the basic

manufacturers of the active ingredient

chlorpyrifos on June 7, 2000. Registrants

identified in this notice requesting

voluntary cancellation and amendments

are in large part the customer of these

basic manufacturers. Given the potential

risks, both dietary and nondietary, that

chlorpyrifos use poses, especially to

children, EPA intends to grant the

requested cancellations and

amendments to delete uses. EPA also

plans to issue a cancellation order for

the deleted uses and the canceled

registrations at the close of the comment

period for this announcement. Upon the

issuance of the cancellation order, any

distribution, sale, or use of chlorpyrifos

products will only be permitted if such

distribution, sale, or use is consistent

with the terms of that order.

DATE: Comments must be received on or

before December 18, 2000. Comments

on the requested amendments to delete

uses and the requested registration

cancellations must be submitted to the

address provided in ADDRESSES and

identified by docket control number

OPP–34203E.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

submitted by mail, electronically, or in

person. Please follow the detailed

instructions for each method as

provided in Unit I. of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure

proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative

that you identify docket control number

OPP–34203E in the subject line on the

first page of your response.

II. Receipt of Requests To Cancel and

Amend Registrations To Delete Uses

A. Background

In a memorandum of agreement

(Agreement) effective June 7, 2000, EPA

and the basic manufacturers of the

active ingredient chlorpyrifos agreed to

several voluntary measures that will

reduce the potential exposure to

children associated with chlorpyrifos

containing products. EPA initiated the

negotiations with registrants after

finding chlorpyrifos, as currently

registered, was an exposure risk

especially to children. As a result of the

Agreement, registrants that hold the

pesticide registrations of end-use

products containing chlorpyrifos (who

are in large part the customer of these

basic manufacturers) have asked EPA to

cancel or amend their registrations for

these products. Pursuant to section

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), EPA is announcing the

Agency’s receipt of these requests from

the registrants. With respect to the

registration amendments, the registrants

have asked EPA to amend end-use

product registrations to delete the

following uses: All termite control uses

(these will be phased out); all

residential uses (except for ant and

roach baits in child resistant packaging

(CRP) and fire ant mound drenches for

public health purposes by licensed

applicators and mosquito control for

public health purposes by public health

agencies); all indoor non-residential

uses (except ship holds, industrial

plants, manufacturing plants, food

processing plants, and containerized

baits in CRP); all outdoor nonresidential sites (except golf courses,

road medians, industrial plant sites,

nonstructural wood treatments, and fire

ant mound drenches for public health

purposes by licensed applicators and

mosquito control for public health

purposes by public health agencies);

and use on post-bloom apple trees. In

addition, the companies agreed to limit

the maximum chlorpyrifos end-use

dilution to 0.5% active ingredient (a.i.)

for termiticide uses that will be phased

out, limit the maximum label

application rate for outdoor nonresidential use on golf courses, road

medians, and industrial plant sites to 1

lb/a.i. per acre, and either classify all

new/amended chlorpyrifos products

(except baits in CRP) as Restricted Use

or package the products in large

containers, depending on the

formulation type, to ensure that

remaining chlorpyrifos products are not

available to homeowners. In return, EPA

stated that with this Agreement, it had

no current intention to initiate any

cancellation or suspension proceedings

under section 6(b) or 6(c) of FIFRA with

respect to the issues addressed in the

Agreement.

EPA previously published on

September 20, 2000 a Federal Register

Notice (65 FR 56886) (FRL–6743–7)

announcing receipt of amendments and

cancellations for manufacturinguse

products and associated enduse

products for signatories of the

Memorandum of Agreement that was

signed on June 7, 2000 and subsequent

ancillary agreements. A copy of the

Memorandum of Agreement that was

signed on June 7, 2000 is located in

docket control number OPP–34203D.

B. Requests for Voluntary Cancellation

Pursuant to the Agreement and FIFRA

section 6(f)(1)(A), several registrants

have submitted requests for voluntary

Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA,

registrants may request, at any time, that

EPA cancel any of their pesticide

registrations. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA

requires that EPA provide a 30-day

period in which the public may

comment before the Agency may act on

the request for voluntary cancellation.

In addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA

requires that EPA provide a 180-day

comment period on a request for

voluntary termination of any minor

agricultural use before granting the

request, unless (1) the registrants

request a waiver of the comment period,

or (2) the Administrator determines that

continued use of the pesticide would

pose an unreasonable adverse effect on

the environment. The registrants have

requested that EPA waive the 180-day

comment period. In light of this request,

EPA is granting the request to waive the

180-day comment period and is

providing a 30-day public comment

period before taking action on the

requested cancellations. Given the

potential risks, both dietary and

nondietary, that chlorpyrifos use poses,

especially to children, EPA intends to

grant the requested cancellations at the

close of the comment period for this

announcement.

C. Requests for Voluntary Amendments

to Delete Uses From the Registrations of

End-Use Products

Pursuant to section 6(f)(1)(A) of

FIFRA, several registrants have also

submitted requests to amend their other

enduse registrations of pesticide

products containing chlorpyrifos to

delete the aforementioned uses from any

product bearing such use. The

registrations for which amendments to

delete uses were requested are

identified in the following Table 2.

Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA,

registrants may request, at any time, that

their pesticide registrations be amended

to delete one or more pesticide uses.

The registrants have requested that EPA

waive the 180-day comment period. In

light of this request, EPA is granting the

request to waive the 180-day comment

period and is providing a 30-day public

comment period before taking action on

the requested amendments to delete

uses. Given the potential dietary and

nondietary risks that chlorpyrifos use

intends to grant the requested

amendments to delete uses at the close

of the comment period for this

announcement.
