response to the June 22, 2011 Federal

Agency’s receipt of the requests for 

voluntary cancellations of products

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellations and amendments to 

terminate the uses of dicofol 

registrations identified in Tables 1 and 

2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the 

cancellation of the technical dicofol 

product is effective immediately. The 

cancellation of the end use registrations 

is effective October 31, 2013. Any 

distribution, sale, or use of existing 

stocks of the products identified in 

Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II in a manner 

inconsistent with any of the provisions 

for disposition of existing stocks set 

forth in Unit VI will be a violation of 

FIFRA. 

V. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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. The notice of receipt for 

this action was published for comment 

on June 22, 2011 (76 FR 36535) (FRL– 

8875–7). The comment period closed on 

July 22, 2011. 

VI. 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 action. The existing 

stocks provision for the products subject 

to this order is as follows: 

a. Sale, distribution and use of the 

technical dicofol is prohibited, except: 

Registrants of dicofol end-use products 

shall be allowed to reformulate existing 

stocks of dicofol technical into products 

identified in Table 2 of Unit II, until 

October 31, 2013, or for products 

intended for export consistent with the 

requirements of FIFRA section 17 or for 

purposes of proper disposal. 

b. Sale and distribution by registrants 

of end use products after October 31, 

2013 is prohibited except for export 

consistent with the requirements of 

FIFRA section 17 or for purposes of 

proper disposal. 

c. Sale and distribution of end use 

products by persons other than 

registrants is permitted until December 

31, 2013. Thereafter, sale and

persons other than registrants is 

prohibited except for export consistent 

with the requirements of FIFRA section 

17 or for purposes of proper disposal.

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the Act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator, within 

60 days after the expiration of this 

review period, to object to a Title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

Petitions must be based only on 

objections to the permit that were raised 

with reasonable specificity during the 

public comment period provided by the 

State, unless the petitioner demonstrates 

that it was impracticable to raise these 

issues during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issue arose after this 

period. 

EPA received a petition from the 

Petitioners dated December 10, 2009, 

requesting that EPA object to the 

issuance of the Title V operating permit
