V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

Existing stocks for the product 

identified in this document are those 

stocks of registered pesticide product 

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. 

EPA has determined that the following 

existing stocks provisions are not 

inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA 

given the limited amount of existing 

stocks and the limited time allowed for 

use of the existing stocks outlined 

below: 

• Sale and distribution of existing 

stocks of Pilot 15G Chlorpyrifos 

Agricultural Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 

93182–8) is permitted until April 30, 

2025. 

• Use of existing stocks of Pilot 15G 

Chlorpyrifos Agricultural Insecticide 

(EPA Reg. No. 93182–8) must be 

consistent with the product labeling. 

Such use is permitted until June 30, 

2025. 

• Use of existing stocks of Pilot 15G 

Chlorpyrifos Agricultural Insecticide 

(EPA Reg. No. 93182–8) for non-food 

purposes is permitted until existing 

stocks are exhausted, as long as such 

use is in accordance with the labeling. 

After these dates, all respective sale, 

distribution, and use of existing stocks 

is prohibited, except for sale and 

distribution for export consistent with 

FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) and for 

proper disposal in accordance with state 

regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action provides information that 

is directed to the public in general. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

submissions under TSCA section 5(a) 

that certain new chemical substances or 

significant new uses are not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. This

products, including one product for 

which Kaizen Technologies, LLC 

voluntarily requested cancellation, 

pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA). The Agency is issuing this 

notice to amend the existing stocks 

provisions in the August 31, 2022 order, 

for the product listed in this document. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, 

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? 

In its August 31, 2022 Cancellation 

Order for Certain Chlorpyrifos 

Registrations (87 FR 53471) (FRL– 

10138–01–OCSPP), EPA granted 

Kaizen’s request to cancel its one 

chlorpyrifos product: Bifenchlor (EPA 

Registration Number 86363–11). This 

order noted that all chlorpyrifos 

tolerances had been revoked, and thus 

all use on food and all sale and 

distribution of existing stocks for the 

products identified in that order were 

inconsistent with the purposes of 

FIFRA, with some exceptions. The 

August 31, 2022 order permitted 

existing stocks to be sold and 

distributed for export and for proper 

disposal. 

Subsequent to the issuance of the 

August 31, 2022 cancellation order, the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth 

Circuit vacated EPA’s rule revoking all 

tolerances. See Red River Valley 

Sugarbeet Growers Associations, et al. v. 

Regan, 85 F.4th 881 (8th Cir. 2023). On 

February 5, 2024, EPA issued a Federal 

Register notice to amend the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) to reflect the 

court’s reinstatement of those tolerances 

(89 FR 7625) (FRL–5993–06–OCSPP). At 

this time, all chlorpyrifos tolerances in 

effect prior to the 2021 tolerance rule 

have been reinstated and are currently 

in effect. See 40 CFR 180.342. With the 

tolerances in place, Kaizen requested an 

amendment to the terms of the August 

31, 2022 cancellation order governing 

disposition of existing stocks to allow 

for sale, distribution, and use. 

Because the reinstatement of the 

chlorpyrifos tolerances means that 

chlorpyrifos products can be used in 

accordance with their labeling without 

concern for adulterated food, EPA is 

amending the August 31, 2022 

cancellation order to update the existing 

stocks provisions as they apply to the 

following Kaizen product: 

• Bifenchlor (EPA Reg. No. 86363– 

11). 

The registrant for the listed product is 

Kaizen Technologies, LLC., 2225 Q 

Street, Aurora, NE 68818. 

III. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)) provides that a registrant of 

a pesticide product may at any time 

request that any of its pesticide 

registrations be cancelled or amended to 

terminate one or more registered uses. 

Since the tolerances for chlorpyrifos 

residues on food commodities have 

been reinstated by the Eighth Circuit, 

food bearing chlorpyrifos residues could 

be sold in interstate commerce. EPA has 

noted however, that it intends to issue 

a new rulemaking revoking several 

chlorpyrifos tolerances in the near 

future. In the meantime, the following 

amendment to the existing stocks 

provisions for the Kaizen product is 

consistent with the path forward for 

disposition of existing stocks for several 

other existing stocks amendment 

requests and post-tolerancereinstatement voluntary cancellations 

for chlorpyrifos requested by registrants. 

Existing stocks for the product 

identified in this order 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 August 31, 2022. 

At this time, EPA is amending the 

existing stocks provisions in the August 

31, 2022 cancellation order as they 

apply to the Kaizen chlorpyrifos 

product mentioned in this notice. EPA 

has determined that the following 

existing stocks provisions are not 

inconsistent with the purposes of 

FIFRA, given the limited amount of 

existing stocks and the limited time 

allowed for use of the existing stocks 

outlined below: 

• Sale and distribution of existing 

stocks of Bifenchlor (EPA Reg. No. 

86363–11) is permitted until April 30, 

2025. 

• Use of existing stocks of Bifenchlor 

(EPA Reg. No. 86363–11) must be 

consistent with the product labeling. 

Such use is permitted until June 30, 

2025. Use of existing stocks of 

Bifenchlor (EPA Reg. No. 86363–11) for 

non-food purposes is permitted until 

existing stocks are exhausted, as long as 

such use is in accordance with the 

labeling. 

After these dates, all sale, 

distribution, and use of existing stocks 

is prohibited, except for sale and
