Azinphos-Methyl; Product Cancellation 

Order and Amendments To Terminate 

Uses; Amendment to Existing Stocks 

Provision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a notice in the 

Federal Register of February 20, 2008 

concerning the cancellation of products 

containing azinphos-methyl (AZM). 

EPA corrected typographical errors to 

the cancellation order in the March 26, 

2008 issue of the Federal Register. In 

the cancellation order, all sale, 

distribution, and use of products 

containing AZM was prohibited after 

September 30, 2012. However, due to 

unusual weather conditions in 2012 that 

prevented certain crops from 

developing, many growers were left 

with unused stocks of AZM. For this 

reason, on August 29, 2012, EPA 

amended the existing stocks provisions 

for only the use of AZM on apples, 

blueberries, cherries (tart and sweet), 

parsley, and pears to allow growers to 

use existing stocks of AZM in their 

possession for another year, through 

September 30, 2013. In this notice, EPA 

is publishing the August 29, 2012 

amendment to the existing stocks 

provision of the cancellation order.

II. What are the terms of the amended 

cancellation order? 

On August 29, 2012, EPA amended 

the existing stocks provision of the 

cancellation order of February 20, 2008, 

(73 FR 9328), (FRL–8349–8), as 

corrected on March 26, 2008, (73 FR 

16006), (FRL–8355–1) to provide 

growers with an additional year to use 

existing stocks of AZM. All the required 

mitigation measures now reflected on 

AZM labeling will remain in effect 

during this use. Distribution or sale of 

AZM after September 30, 2012, remains 

prohibited as provided in the February 

20, 2008, cancellation order. 

The specific terms of the August 29, 

2012, existing stocks amendment are as 

follows: 

EPA hereby modifies the cancellation 

order of February 20, 2008 (73 FR 9328, 

as amended at 73 FR 16006) to permit 

use of existing stocks of AZM products 

until September 30, 2013. Any use of 

such products must be in accordance 

with all terms of the previously 

approved labeling (other than the 

provisions prohibiting use after 

September 30, 2012). The distribution 

and sale provisions of the February 20, 

2008 order remain unchanged and, 

therefore, any distribution or sale of 

AZM products is prohibited after 

September 30, 2012, except for purposes 

of proper disposal, reformulation, or 

export consistent with FIFRA section 

17.
