This notice announces the proposed amendment of the December 10, 2003 use deletion and product cancellation order of fenamiphos products registered under section 3 of FIFRA, as amended on June 11, 2008 and December 10, 2008. The only registration that would be affected by the extension of the sale and distribution date is Nemacur 3Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideNematicide, EPA Registration Number 264–731. The prohibition on the use of fenamiphos products 3 years after publication of the amended order would affect all fenamiphos product registrations.

On December 10, 2003, EPA published a Use Deletion and Product Cancellation Order in the Federal Register (68 FR 68901) (FRL–7332–5). The order prohibited, among other things, the manufacture and distribution of fenamiphos by Bayer Corporation, the sole technical registrant, after May 31, 2007, the effective cancellation date for the fenamiphos product registrations. The deadline established for Bayer Corporation followed a production cap on the manufacture of fenamiphos, which limited fenamiphos production to 500,000 pounds of active ingredient for the year ending May 31, 2003, and reduced production by 20% each subsequent year during the 5 year phase-out period. The order also prohibited the sale and distribution of fenamiphos by persons other than the registrant after May 31, 2008. These provisions were intended to provide a reasonable amount of time for the material to move through the channels of trade following the cessation of sale and distribution of fenamiphos products by the registrant on May 31, 2007.

In a June 11, 2008 Federal Register Amendment to Use Deletion and Product Cancellation Order (73 FR 33082) (FRL–8368–2), the Agency extended the May 31, 2008 deadline on the sale and distribution by persons other than the registrant through November 30, 2008. This action was taken in response to a request from the sole fenamiphos technical registrant, Bayer Environmental Science, to extend the deadline to allow distributors to sell existing stockpiles of Nemacur 10% Turf and Ornamental Nematicide (EPA Reg. No. 432–1291) and Nemacur 3Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideVerDate Mar<15>2010 17:36 Jul 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Nematicide (EPA Reg. No. 264–731) to end users.

In a December 10, 2008 Federal Register (73 FR 75097) (FRL–8389–8) Amendment to Use Deletion and Product Cancellation Order, the Agency further extended the November 30, 2008 deadline for the sale and distribution of Nemacur 3 Emulsifiable Systemic Insceticide-Nematicide (EPA Reg. No. 264–731) through March 31, 2009. This action was taken in response to a request from an end user, Maui Pineapple, to extend the deadline for sale and distribution of Nemacur 3Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideNematicide (EPA Reg. No. 264–731) from November 30, 2008 to March 31,

2009.

On August 20, 2010 the Agency received another request from Maui Pineapple to extend the deadline for sale and distribution of Nemacur 3Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideNematicide (EPA Reg. No. 264–731) to allow a transfer of its remaining stocks of Nemacur 3 to other end users.

The original May 31, 2008 deadline for fenamiphos was established to provide a reasonable amount of time for the material to move through the channels of trade following the cessation of sale and distribution of fenamiphos products by the registrant, Bayer Environmental Science, on May 31, 2007. Extending the deadline for distributors to sell and distribute Nemacur 3 Emulsifiable Systemic Insecticide-Nematicide would neither conflict with the Agency’s application of the guidelines outlined in PR Notice 97–7, nor would it introduce more fenamiphos into the pesticide use cycle than had been stipulated by the terms of the 5 year phase-out. The extension would allow for a redistribution of existing material already in the hands of end users and no new fenamiphos products would enter the marketplace. If this request is granted, the Agency will extend the deadline for persons other than the registrant to sell and distribute Nemacur 3 Emulsifiable Systemic Insecticide-Nematicide (EPA Reg. No. 264–731) for 1 year from the date of publication of the amended order.

However, the Agency also intends to prohibit use of all fenamiphos products in the United States 3 years from the date of publication of the amended order in the Federal Register

. Previously, the Agency had allowed end users with existing stocks of products containing fenamiphos to continue to use these products until their stocks were exhausted, provided that the usecomplied with previously EPAapproved product label requirements for the respective products. Considering the initial Product Cancellation Order for fenamiphos was issued in 2003, if the Agency permits a further extension, 11 years will have elapsed since the initial cancellation order was issued, and approximately 7 years will have elapsed from the effective cancellation of the fenamiphos products. When the Agency specified in the initial Product Cancellation Order that users may use existing stocks until exhausted, it did not anticipate that fenamiphos products would not move through the channels of trade and be depleted by end users in a timely manner.

Moreover, all pesticides sold or distributed in the United States generally must be registered by the EPA, based on scientific data showing that they will not cause unreasonable risks to human health or the environment when used as directed on product labeling. Due to the fact that fenamiphos product registrations were canceled as part of the voluntary phase-out, the Agency has determined that the registration review program, the periodic evaluation of pesticide safety, is not applicable to fenamiphos. The registration review of fenamiphos would have begun in 2008 if fenamiphos had active product registrations at that time. The Agency is concerned that the use of existing stocks of fenamiphos products has continued for an extended period since the last scientific risks assessments of its use, which were completed for the 2002 Fenamiphos Reregistration Eligibility Decision. Therefore, the Agency intends to prohibit all use of pesticide products containing fenamiphos 3 years from the date of publication of the amended order in the Federal Register

. III. What is the agency’s authority for taking this action?

Section 6(a)(1) of FIFRA provides that the Administrator may permit the continued sale and use of existing stocks of a pesticide whose registration is suspended or canceled under this section, or section 3 or 4, to such extent, under such conditions, and for such uses as the Administrator determines that such sale or use is not inconsistent with the purposes of this Act. IV. Proposed Order Amendment

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(a), EPA is proposing to amend the December 10, 2008 order to allow persons other than the registrant to sell and distribute the fenamiphos product, Nemacur 3Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideNematicide (EPA Registration Number 264–731), for 1 year from the publication of the amended order. Accordingly, the Agency is proposing to order that the sale and distribution of products containing fenamiphos is prohibited, except for proper disposal or export pursuant to section 17 of FIFRA, provided, however, that persons other than the registrant are permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of Nemacur 3 Emulsifiable Systemic Insecticide-Nematicide (EPA Registration Number 264–731) for 1 year from the publication of the amended order. The Agency further proposes to order that end users with existing stocks of any products containing fenamiphos may continue to use these products for 3 years from the date of publication of the amended order in the Federal Register, provided that the use complies with EPA-approved product label requirements for the respective products.
