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 a number of registrants of pesticide

products containing chlorpyrifos agreed

to several voluntary measures that will

reduce the potential exposure to

children associated with chlorpyrifos

containing products. Shortly thereafter,

EPA and several other pesticide

registrants of manufacturing-use

products containing chlorpyrifos signed

ancillary agreements in which the

parties agreed to comply with the terms

of the June 7, 2000, agreement. EPA

initiated the negotiations with

registrants after finding chlorpyrifos, as

currently registered, was an exposure

risk especially to children. As part of

the Agreement, the signatory registrants

that hold the pesticide registrations of

manufacturing-use pesticide products

containing chlorpyrifos have asked EPA

to cancel their registrations for these

products. In addition, these companies

asked EPA to cancel or amend their

registrations for end-use products

containing chlorpyrifos. Pursuant to

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

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), EPA announced the Agency’s

receipt of these requests from the

registrants on September 20, 2000 (65

FR 56886). With respect to the

registration amendments, the companies

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, containerized baits in

CRP, and processed wood products

treated during the manufacturing

process at the manufacturing site or at

the mill); all outdoor non-residential

sites (except golf courses, road medians,

industrial plant sites, fence posts, utility

poles, railroad ties, landscape timbers,

logs, pallets, wooden containers, poles,

posts, processed wood products,

manhole covers and underground utility

cable and conduits; 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

tomatoes and post-bloom apple trees.

With respect to the registration

cancellations, the companies have

submitted replacement applications for

registration with new labeling that

would also eliminate all of these uses.

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.

On September 20, 2000, (65 FR 56886)

(FRL–6743–7), EPA published in the

Federal Register a notice of the

Agency’s receipt of amendments and

cancellations for manufacturing-use

products and associated end-use

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

of Manufacturing-Use Products

Pursuant to the Agreement and FIFRA

section 6(f)(1)(A), the registrants have

submitted requests for voluntary

cancellation of registrations for their

manufacturing-use products. The

registrations for which cancellations

were requested are identified in the

following Table 1.

In the Federal Register notice

published on September 20, 2000, EPA

requested public comment on the

voluntary cancellation and use deletion

requests, and provided a 30-day

comment period. The registrants

requested that the Administrator waive

the 180-day period provided under

FIFRA section6(f)(1)(C). One public

comment was submitted to the docket in

response to EPA’s request for

comments.This comment was a generic

comment on the overall

organophosphate process focusing on

the development of a new process for

review of the organophosphate

pesticides that did not relate to this

action specifically.

C. Requests for Voluntary Cancellation

of End-Use Products

In addition to requesting voluntary

cancellation of manufacturing-use

products, several registrants have

submitted requests for voluntary

cancellation of some of their

registrations for end-use pesticide

products containing chlorpyrifos. The

end-use registrations for which

cancellation was requested are

identified in the following Table 2.

III. Cancellation Order

Pursuant to section 6(f) of FIFRA, EPA

is approving the requested use deletions

and the requested registration

cancellations. Accordingly, the Agency

orders that the registrations identified in

Table 3 are hereby amended to delete

the following uses: All postconstruction termite control uses,

except spot and local treatment ( use of

such products for spot and local

treatment will be prohibited after

made a decision prior to that date that

preconstruction use may continue); all

residential uses (except for ant and

(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,

non-agricultural uses (except ship

holds, industrial plants, manufacturing

plants, food processing plants,

containerized baits in CRP, and

processed wood products treated during

the manufacturing process at the
