Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2016 / Notices 11561 

provides that where a FIFRA section 

6(e) cancellation hearing is requested, 

the scope of the hearing and the 

standard of review in regard to the 

Administrator’s determination with 

respect to the disposition of existing 

stocks is limited to whether that 

determination is consistent with FIFRA. 

Congress mandated a final decision 

within seventy-five (75) days, and a 

broader or more complex hearing could 

not reasonably be completed in such a 

limited timeframe. Accordingly, the 

only matters for resolution in any 

hearing requested regarding this matter 

shall be whether the registrants satisfied 

the condition of registration requiring 

them to submit timely requests for 

voluntary cancellation when notified by 

EPA of its determination that the 

registrations caused unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment, and 

whether the proposed existing stocks 

provision is consistent with FIFRA. 

VI. Timing of Cancellation of 

Registration 

The cancellation of registration of 

each of the specific products identified 

in Unit I.A. will be final and effective 

thirty (30) days after the date of receipt 

by the registrant, unless a valid hearing 

request is received regarding that 

specific flubendiamide product. 

In the event a hearing is held 

concerning a particular product, the 

cancellation of the registration for that 

product will not become effective 

except pursuant to a final order issued 

by the Environmental Appeals Board or 

(if the matter is referred to the 

Administrator pursuant to 40 CFR 

164.2(g)) the Administrator, or an initial 

decision of the presiding Administrative 

Law Judge that becomes a final order 

pursuant to 40 CFR 164.90(b). Pursuant 

to FIFRA section 6(e)(2), such order 

shall issue within seventy-five (75) days 

after receipt of a request for hearing. 

VII. Procedural Matters 

This unit explains how eligible 

persons may request a hearing and the 

consequences of requesting or failing to 

request such a hearing. 

A. Requesting a Hearing 

1. Who can request a hearing? A 

registrant or any other person who is 

adversely affected by a cancellation as 

described in this document may request 

a hearing. 

2. When must a hearing be requested? 

A request for a hearing by a registrant 

or other adversely affected person must 

be submitted in writing within thirty 

(30) days after the date of the registrant’s 

receipt of the Notice of Intent to Cancel. 

Under FIFRA section 6(e), the time 

period for requesting a hearing is 

calculated from the date the affected 

registrant receives the Notice of Intent to 

Cancel, without regard to the date of 

issuance or publication in the Federal 

Register. EPA issued this Notice of 

Intent to Cancel and promptly sent it to 

each registrant by certified mail on 

February 29, 2016. Registrants will be 

able to calculate the deadline for their 

request based on their receipt of the 

Notice of Intent to Cancel. In order to 

assure that any requests for hearing from 

persons other than the registrants are 

received in a timely manner, persons 

other than the registrants who wish to 

submit a request for hearing are urged 

to assume that the registrants received 

the Notice of Intent to Cancel on March 

1, 2016, and make sure that a request for 

hearing is received by EPA’s Office of 

Administrative Law Judges on or before 

March 31, 2016. 

3. How must a hearing be requested? 

All persons who request a hearing must 

comply with the Agency’s Rules of 

Practice Governing Hearings under 

FIFRA, 40 CFR part 164. Among other 

requirements, these rules include the 

following requirements: 

a. Each hearing request must 

specifically identify by registration or 

accession number each individual 

pesticide product concerning which a 

hearing is requested, 40 CFR 164.22(a); 

b. Each hearing request must be 

accompanied by a document setting 

forth specific objections which respond 

to the Agency’s reasons for proposing 

cancellation as set forth in this 

document and state the factual basis for 

each such objection, 40 CFR 164.22(a); 

and 

c. Each hearing request must be 

received by the OALJ within the 

applicable 30-day period (40 CFR 

164.5(a)). 

Failure to comply with any one of 

these requirements will invalidate the 

request for a hearing and, in the absence 

of a valid hearing request, result in final 

cancellation of registration for the 

product in question by operation of law. 

4. Where does a person submit a 

hearing request? Requests for hearing 

must be submitted to the OALJ. The 

OALJ uses different addresses 

depending on the delivery method. 

Please note that mail deliveries to 

federal agencies are screened off-site, 

and this security procedure can delay 

delivery. Documents that a party sends 

using the U.S. Postal Service must be 

addressed to the following OALJ 

mailing address: U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Office of 

Administrative Law Judges, Mail Code 

1900R, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20460. 

Documents that a party hand delivers 

or sends using a courier or commercial 

delivery service (such as Federal 

Express or UPS) must be addressed to 

the following OALJ hand delivery 

address: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, Office of Administrative Law 

Judges, Ronald Reagan Building, Rm. 

M1200, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., 

Washington, DC 20460. 

B. The Hearing 

If a hearing concerning any product 

affected by this document is requested 

in a timely and effective manner, the 

hearing will be governed by the 

Agency’s Rules of Practice Governing 

Hearings under FIFRA, 40 CFR part 164, 

and the procedures set forth in Unit VII. 

Any interested person may participate 

in the hearing, in accordance with 40 

CFR 164.31. 

Documents and transcripts will be 

available in the Administrative Law 

Judges’ Electronic Docket Database 

available at http://yosemite.epa.gov/

oarm/alj/alj_web_docket.nsf. The 

physical public docket for the hearing is 

located at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Office of 

Administrative Law Judges, Ronald 

Reagan Building, Rm. M1200, 1300 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460 and documents can be viewed
