requests at the close of the comment 

period for this announcement unless the 

Agency receives substantive comments 

within the comment period that would 

merit its further review of the requests, 

or unless the registrant withdraws its 

requests. If these requests are granted, 

any sale, distribution, or use of products 

listed in this notice will be permitted 

after the registrations have been 

canceled only if such sale, distribution, 

or use is consistent with the terms as 

described in the final order.

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests to Cancel 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from registrant Wellmark 

International to cancel propetamphos 

product registrations. Propetamphos is 

an organophosphate insecticide 

registered for use for non-residential 

indoor crack and crevice treatment to 

control crawling insects, primarily, ants, 

cockroaches, and fleas. The registration 

review process for propetamphos was 

initiated in June 2008, with the issuance 

and placement of the Summary 

Document and Preliminary Work Plan 

for Registration Review in the docket 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–1195 for a 90–day 

public comment period. The 

Propetamphos Final Work Plan for 

Registration Review was placed in the 

docket on November 25, 2008, and the 

registration review Data Call-In for 

propetamphos was issued in December 

2009. Wellmark International is the only 

current registrant of propetamphos 

products. 

Wellmark International’s 90–day 

response to the registration review Data 

Call-In stated their intent to seek 

voluntary cancellation of the 

propetamphos technical product (EPA 

Registration No. 2724–313) and the one 

remaining propetamphos end-use 

product, Zoecon 9001 EW (EPA 

Registration No. 2724–450). 

Subsequently, in a letter to the Agency 

dated July 23, 2010, Wellmark 

International requested that EPA cancel 

the propetamphos pesticide product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Wellmark International 

requested that propetamphos technical 

be canceled effective September 30, 

2010, and the end-use product be 

canceled effective 18 months later on 

March 30, 2012. Furthermore, Wellmark 

International requested an 18–month 

existing stocks provision for use of EPA 

Reg. No. 2724–313 to formulate EPA 

Reg. No. 2724–450. For EPA Reg. No. 

2724–450, Wellmark requested an 

existing stocks provision that would 

allow them to sell or distribute existing 

stocks of EPA Reg. No. 2724–450 until 

depletion and allow persons other than 

Wellmark International to sell, 

distribute, and use existing stocks of 

EPA Reg. No. 2724–450 until depletion. 

These are the last two propetamphos 

products registered for use in the United 

States. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from Wellmark International 

to cancel propetamphos product 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant or if the Agency determines 

that there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order canceling

IV. 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. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires 

that before acting on a request for 

voluntary cancellation, EPA must 

provide a 30–day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 

requires that EPA provide a 180–day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The propetamphos registrant has 

requested that EPA waive the 180–day 

comment period. Accordingly, EPA will 

provide a 30–day comment period on 

the requests. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation should 

submit the withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products(s) 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks 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 the effective date of 

the action. If the requests for voluntary 

cancellation are granted, the Agency 

intends to publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register. 

In any order issued in response to 

these requests for cancellation of 

product registrations, EPA proposes to 

include the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. 

EPA proposes to make the 

cancellation of propetamphos technical 

(EPA Reg. No. 2724–313) effective 

September 30, 2010, after which date 

the technical product can no longer be 

sold or distributed. Wellmark 

International would be permitted to use 

the existing stocks of propetamphos 

technical (defined as quantities of EPA 

Reg. No. 2724–313 in existence as of 

September 30, 2010) to formulate the 

propetamphos end-use product (EPA 

Reg. No. 2724–450) for 18 months after 

the September 30, 2010 effective date of 

the cancellation, which would be until 

March 30, 2012. Thereafter, Wellmark 

International also would be prohibited 

from using (as well as continue to be 

prohibited from selling or distributing) 

propetamphos technical, except for 

export consistent with FIFRA section 17 

or for proper disposal. 

EPA proposes to make the 

cancellation of the propetamphos enduse product (EPA Reg. No. 2724–450) 

effective March 30, 2012. Wellmark 

International would be allowed to sell 

or distribute existing stocks of EPA Reg. 

No. 2724–450 (defined as quantities of 

EPA Reg. No. 2724–450 in existence as 

of March 30, 2012) until such stocks are 

depleted. Persons other than Wellmark 

International would be allowed to sell, 

distribute, and use existing stocks of 

EPA Reg. No 2724–450 until supplies 

are exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, and use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

canceled product. 

The existing stocks provisions 

outlined in this notice are intended to 

allow depletion of the amount of 

technical propetamphos (EPA Reg. No. 

2724–313) that Wellmark International 

currently has on-hand from purchases 

made prior to its decision to request 

voluntary cancellation. Use until 

depletion will preclude environmental 

disposal concerns of quantities of 

undiluted propetamphos that cannot be 

formulated or used.
