SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. 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. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

This cancellation order follows a 

notice of receipt in the Federal Register 

on August 29, 2024 (89 FR 70181) (FRL– 

12220–01–OCSPP) and opportunity for 

public comment on the requests from 

the registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit 

II. to voluntarily cancel these product 

registrations. In that document, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the cancellations, unless 

the Agency received substantive 

comments within the 30-day comment 

period that would merit its further 

review of these requests, or unless the 

registrant withdrew its requests. The 

Agency received three comments by the 

end of the comment period, none of 

which necessitate further review of the 

registrant’s requests to cancel these 

product registrations. Accordingly, EPA 

hereby issues this cancellation order 

granting the requested cancellations. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

products subject to this cancellation 

order is permitted only as described 

below in Unit IV. 

C. What is EPA’s authority for taking 

this action? 

FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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 canceled or amended to 

terminate one or more uses. FIFRA 

further provides that, before acting on 

the request, EPA must publish a notice 

of receipt of any such request in the 

Federal Register. Thereafter, following 

the public comment period, the EPA 

Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

II. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 

U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA issues this 

cancellation order for the products in 

Table 1. The effective date of the 

cancellations that are the subject of this 

order is October 23, 2024. Any 

distribution, sale, or use of existing 

stocks of the products identified in 

Table 1 of this unit in a manner 

inconsistent with any of the provisions 

for disposition of existing stocks set 

forth in Unit IV. would be a violation of 

FIFRA. 

Table 1 of this unit lists the product 

cancellations, as requested by registrant, 

in sequence by registration number (or 

company number and FIFRA section 

24(c) number).

Table 2 of this unit includes the name 

and address of record for the DCPA 

registrant of the products in Table 1 of 

this unit. The EPA Company No. 

corresponds to the first part of the EPA 

registration numbers of the products

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

In its comment, AMVAC generally 

disagreed with EPA’s characterization of 

events made in various public 

statements extending from its FIFRA 

section 3(c)(2)(b) suspension of the 

DCPA technical product registration 

through its FIFRA section 6(c)(3) 

emergency order of suspension. Since 

the registrant did not withdraw its 

requests to cancel its registrations in its 

public comment, EPA has no further 

response at this time. 

Earthjustice also submitted a 

comment on behalf of itself and Alianza 

Nacional de Campesinas, California 

Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, 

Center for Food Safety, and Pesticide 

Action Network North America. In its 

comment, Earthjustice called on EPA to 

exercise adequate oversight to ensure 

that AMVAC’s takeback and disposal 

program does not put communities in 

harm’s way and is maximally effective. 

EPA remains in regular contact with 

AMVAC regarding its return program 

and will correspond with state lead 

agencies as needed to ensure an 

effective product return occurs. 

Finally, a comment was received from 

a private citizen which provided some 

resources pertaining to DCPA and 

pesticide regulation more generally for 

EPA’s consideration. EPA thanks this 

commenter for the information and their 

time.

IV. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products which are 

currently in the United States, and 

which were packaged, labeled, and 

released for shipment prior to the 

effective date of the cancellation action. 

The existing stocks provisions for the 

products subject to this order are as 

follows. 

The registrant, AMVAC, is prohibited 

from selling, distributing, or using the 

pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit 

II., except for proper disposal or for 

export consistent with FIFRA section 

17. 

Effective on the date listed below, 

persons other than the registrant are also 

prohibited from selling, distributing, or 

using existing stocks of these products 

except for returning existing stocks to 

AMVAC, properly disposing of existing 

stocks and exporting existing stocks 

consistent with FIFRA section 17. 

Since the Agency’s August 6, 2024, 

issuance of an Emergency Order of 

Suspension in the Federal Register on 

August 7, 2024 (89 FR 64445) (FRL– 

12147–01–OCSPP), AMVAC has been 

implementing a voluntary return 

program of products containing DCPA. 

AMVAC has directed end users to 

return product to the retail 

establishment where the product was 

originally purchased. AMVAC is 

collecting existing stocks from 

distributors and retailers and working to 

ensure the proper disposal of any 

collected product.

Final Revisions to the National Lead 

Laboratory Accreditation Program 

(NLLAP); Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing 

the availability of the document titled 

‘‘Laboratory Quality Standards for 

Recognition (LQSR 4.0)’’ under the 

National Lead Laboratory Accreditation 

Program (NLLAP), which is a revision to 

the EPA document titled ‘‘Laboratory 

Quality System Requirements (LQSR) 

Revision 3.0,’’ dated November 5, 2007. 

The revised LQSR 4.0 updates and 

streamlines the guidance by referencing 

existing laboratory standards already in 

practice by NLLAP participating 

laboratories and directly related to 

laboratory lead analysis; and includes 

updates to the test and sampling method 

standards to better complement EPA’s 

lead-based paint program activities. 

DATES: LQSR 4.0 is effective October 23, 

2024. However, in order to be 

recognized by the NLLAP, laboratories 

and accreditation organizations that 

currently administer the NLLAP can 

comply with the standards of LQSR 3.0 

or LQSR 4.0 until December 22, 2025. 

After December 22, 2025, all NLLAPrecognized organizations must 

implement and comply with the 

standards of LQSR 4.0 in order to 

maintain participation in NLLAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you perform or may 

perform testing under the Agency’s 

regulations regarding lead or otherwise 

interact with such testing programs. 

Specifically, entities potentially affected 

by these revisions are Fixed-Site, 

Mobile, and Field Sampling and 

Measurement Organizations (FSMOs) 

that perform lead testing. Analytical 

testing laboratories currently recognized 

by the NLLAP and accreditation 

organizations that currently administer 

the NLLAP or other organizations that 

might seek a Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) with the Agency 

to become an accreditation organization 

could be affected by these revisions. In 

addition, certified inspectors, certified 

risk assessors, developers, 

manufacturers, distributors of 

equipment and supplies used by FSMOs 

testing lead might also be affected by 

these revisions; and EPA-authorized 

state and tribal lead-based paint training 

and certification programs may also be 

affected by these revisions. 

Other entities potentially affected by 

changes to the NLLAP for lead testing 

are the owners and managers of target 

housing and child-occupied facilities, as 

well as realtors, lessees, and residents, 

who ultimately pay for the testing 

services and stand to benefit by 

obtaining lead test results quicker. 

Since other entities may also be 

interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all of the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

notice. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this notice 

to a particular entity, consult the 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is finalizing the proposed 

revisions to the LQSR, now named 

‘‘Laboratory Quality Standards for 

Recognition’’ (LQSR 4.0), with certain 

changes prompted by public comments. 

C. Reasonable Availability to the Public. 

You may access the International 

Organization for Standardization and 

International Electrochemical 

Commission (ISO/IEC) Standard 17025: 

2017 (E) ‘‘General requirements for the 

competence of testing and calibration 

laboratories’’ through the American 

National Standards Institute (ANSI) 

Incorporation by Reference (IBR) 

reading room at https://ibr.ansi.org/, as 

well as the American Society for Testing 

and Materials (ASTM) standard E1583– 

21a ‘‘Standard Practice for Evaluating 

Laboratories Engaged in Determination 

of Lead in Paint, Dust, Airborne 

Particulates, and Soil Taken from and 

Around Buildings and Related 

Structures’’ at astm.org. These standards 

were incorporated into the LQSR 4.0 

and referenced in this document. 

II. Background 

EPA is identified by Congress as the 

federal agency responsible for 

establishing an accreditation program 

for laboratories participating in the 

analysis of lead in paint, soil and dust 

samples as a part of a national 

residential lead-based paint abatement
