Notice of Receipt of Requests To 

Voluntarily Cancel Pesticide 

Registrations and Amend 

Registrations To Terminate Certain 

Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing 

a notice of receipt of requests by the 

registrants to voluntarily cancel their 

registrations of certain products 

containing the pesticides alachlor, 

atrazine, fludioxonil, glyphosate, POE 

isooctadecanol, pyrithiobac, quizalofopp-ethyl, thiamethoxam, and thiophanate 

methyl, and to amend three dodine 

product registrations to terminate use on 

strawberries. The requests would not 

terminate the last atrazine, fludioxonil, 

glyphosate, POE isooctadecanol, 

pyrithiobac, quizalofop-p-ethyl, 

thiamethoxam, and thiophanate methyl 

products registered for use in the United 

States. One request, if granted, would 

terminate the last alachlor products 

registered for use in the United States. 

EPA intends to grant these 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 registrants withdraw their 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 cancelled and 

uses terminated only if such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms as described in the final order. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 4, 2016.

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 should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA?

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests To Cancel and/or Amend 

Registrations To Delete Uses 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from ADAMA Agricultural 

Solutions, Gowan Company, Syngenta 

Crop Protection, BASF Corporation, and 

Monsanto Company to cancel certain 

product registrations and from Agriphar 

S.A. to amend certain registrations to 

terminate uses on strawberry. 

Alachlor is an herbicide registered for 

on beans, corn, peanuts, sorghum, and 

soybeans. There are no non-agricultural 

use sites. Atrazine is an herbicide 

registered for use on corn, sorghum, and 

sugarcane. In a letter dated October 13, 

2015, Monsanto requested that EPA 

cancel all alachlor product registrations 

identified in Table 1 of Unit III. Several 

of these alachlor products also contain 

atrazine. Such action would terminate 

the last alachlor pesticide products 

registered in the United States, but 

would not terminate the last atrazine

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 5, 2016 / Notices 237 

pesticide products registered in the 

United States. 

Dodine is a fungicide registered for 

use on almonds, apples, bananas, 

cherries, nectarines, peaches, peanuts 

and pecans. There are no nonagricultural use sites. In a letter dated 

June 22, 2015, Ceres International LLC 

requested on behalf of Agriphar S.A. 

that EPA amend certain registrations 

identified in Table 2 of Unit III to delete 

the use of dodine on strawberry. This 

request would delete the strawberry use 

site from all dodine product labels 

registered for use in the United States, 

but would not terminate the last dodine 

pesticide products registered in the 

United States. 

Fludioxonil is a broad spectrum 

contact fungicide and antimicrobial that 

is used on a variety of crops, berries, 

fruit trees, grasses, herbs, ornamentals, 

and residential turf, as a preservative for 

mold remediation and other non-food 

uses. Thiamethoxam is a broad 

spectrum nitroguanidine insecticide 

that is registered for use on several 

agricultural and non-agricultural 

commodities. In a letter dated 

November 19, 2015, Syngenta requested 

that EPA cancel one pesticide product 

registration containing both fludioxonil 

and thiamethoxam identified in Table 1 

of Unit III. This action will not 

terminate the last fludioxonil or 

thiamethoxam pesticide products 

registered in the United States. 

Glyphosate is a non-selective 

herbicide registered for use on many 

food and non-food crops as well as in 

non-crop and residential areas. 

Quizalofop-p-ethyl is a systemic 

herbicide registered for use to control 

annual and perennial weeds in various 

food/feed and non-food/feed crops. In a 

letter dated September 23, 2015, 

Monsanto Company requested that EPA 

cancel one pesticide product 

registration containing both glyphosate 

and quizalofop-p-ethyl identified in 

Table 1 of Unit III. This action will not 

terminate the last glyphosate or 

quizalofop-p-ethyl pesticide products 

registered in the United States. 

POE isooctadecanol is registered for 

insect control including mosquitos as a 

larvicide and pupicide in flooded areas, 

swamps, sewage, irrigation and drainage 

systems, and other aquatic sites. In 

letters dated October 16, 2015, BASF 

Corporation requested that EPA cancel 

certain POE isooctadecanol product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. This action will not terminate 

the last POE isooctadecanol pesticide 

products registered in the United States. 

Pyrithiobac is a selective pre- and 

post-emergent herbicide used to control 

a variety of broadleaf weeds in cotton 

fields. In a letter dated October 1, 2015, 

ADAMA Agricultural Solutions 

requested that EPA cancel one 

pyrithiobac product registration 

identified in Table 1 of Unit III. This 

action will not terminate the last 

pyrithiobac pesticide products 

registered in the United States. 

Thiophanate methyl is a systemic 

benzimidazole fungicide registered for 

use on row, field and orchard crops, 

greenhouses, nurseries, and for 

commercial seed and bulb dip 

treatment. In a letter dated May 19, 

2015, Gowan Company requested that 

EPA cancel certain thiophanate methyl 

product registrations identified in Table 

1 of Unit III. This action will not 

terminate the last thiophanate methyl 

pesticide products registered in the 

United States. 

III. What action is the Agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from registrants to cancel 

certain product registrations of alachlor, 

atrazine, fludioxonil, glyphosate, POE 

isooctadecanol, pyrithiobac, quizalofopp-ethyl, thiamethoxam, and thiophanate 

methyl, and terminate uses on 

strawberries for certain dodine 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1–3 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 

the affected registrations and amending 

to terminate certain uses the affected 

registrations for which the Agency 

received use termination requests.

IV. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (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. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)(B)) 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) (7 U.S.C. 136d(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 alachlor, atrazine, dodine, 

fludioxonil, glyphosate, pyrithiobac, 

POE isooctadecanol, quizalofop-p-ethyl, 

thiamethoxam, and thiophanate methyl 

registrants have requested that EPA 

waive the 180-day comment period. 

Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day 

comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation or use 

deletion should submit the withdrawal 

in writing to the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the 

product(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 and amendments to delete 

uses 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 and for 

amendments to delete uses, EPA 

proposes to include the following 

provisions for the treatment of any 

existing stocks of the products listed in 

Tables 1 and 2 of Unit III. 

A. For Products 524–523, 10163–291, 

10163–292, and 100–1249 in Table 1 of 

Unit III 

The registrants reported to the Agency 

via written correspondence that there 

are no existing stocks of these products. 

Therefore, no existing stocks provision 

was requested by or is needed for these 

registrants. The registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

these products upon cancellation of 

these products, except for export 

consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 

U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. 

B. For All Other Products Identified in 

Table 1 of Unit III 

Because the Agency has identified no 

significant potential risk concerns 

associated with these pesticide 

products, upon cancellation, EPA 

anticipates allowing the registrants to 

sell and distribute existing stocks these 

products for 1 year after the effective 

date of the cancellation; i.e., one year 

after the date of publication of the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the products identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III, except for export consistent 

with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) 

or for proper disposal. 

Persons other than the registrant will 

generally be allowed to sell, distribute, 

or use existing stocks of the affected 

canceled products until such stocks are 

exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

canceled products. 

C. For All Products Identified in Table 

2 of Unit III 

Once EPA has approved product 

labels reflecting the requested 

amendments to terminate uses, 

registrants will be permitted to sell or 

distribute products under the previously 

approved labeling for a period of 18 

months after the date of Federal 

Register publication of the cancellation 

order, unless other restrictions have 

been imposed. Thereafter, registrants 

will be prohibited from selling or 

distributing the products whose labels 

include the terminated uses identified 

in Table 2 of Unit III, except for export 

consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for 

proper disposal. 

Persons other than the registrant may 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

the products whose labels include the 

terminated uses until supplies are 

exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

products with the terminated uses.
