Carbaryl; Amending Product Registrations to Terminate Uses and 
Eliminate Certain Application Methods

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendments to 
terminate uses and eliminate certain application methods, voluntarily 
requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of products 
containing the pesticide carbaryl, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as 
amended. This order follows two Federal Register Notices of Receipt of 
Requests dated August 20, 2008 and October 15, 2008, respectively, from 
the carbaryl registrants to voluntarily terminate certain uses of and 
eliminate certain application methods for their carbaryl product 
registrations. These are not the last carbaryl products registered for 
use in the United States. In the August 20 and October 15, 2008 
Notices, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the 
amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive 
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further 
review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their 
requests within this period. The Agency received five comments on the 
notice but none merited further review of the requests. Further, the 
registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby 
issues in this notice an order granting the requested amendments to 
terminate uses and eliminate certain application methods. Any 
distribution, sale, or use of the carbaryl products subject to this 
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, 
including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The termination of uses and elimination of application methods 
for carbaryl products specified in this notice are effective April 17, 
2009.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    EPA received four public comments on the August 20, 2008 6(f) 
Notice (73 FR 49184) and one comment on the October 15 6(f) Notice (73 
FR 61121), from Jan Meneley of AgBio Inc., Dr. Steven Booth of Willapa 
Bay/Grays Harbor Oyster Grower Association, C. Weeber, a private 
citizen, and from two anonymous private citizens. The comment from C. 
Weeber requested that EPA evaluate carbaryl use on pine trees in 
residential areas, which is not one of the uses being deleted, and is 
therefore not relevant to this action. The comment from Steven Booth 
focused on the importance of a special local need registration of 
carbaryl for control of burrowing shrimp in oyster beds in Willapa Bay, 
WA, which is also not one of the registrations being amended, and is 
therefore not relevant to this action. The comments received from 
private citizens requested cancellation of all carbaryl uses, including 
use to control Mountain Pine Beetle in Colorado, and further testing of 
carbaryl. These commenters do not, however, object to the deletion of 
uses or elimination of application methods that are the subject of this 
order. Nor do these commenters provide information that would lead the 
Agency to further review or deny the requests. Accordingly, the Agency 
does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period 
merit further review or a denial of the requests for amendments to 
terminate uses of and eliminate certain application methods for 
carbaryl products.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested 
amendments to terminate uses of and eliminate certain application 
methods for carbaryl registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the carbaryl product registrations 
identified in Tables 1 of Unit II. are hereby amended to terminate the 
affected uses and application methods. Any distribution, sale, or use 
of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in 
a manner inconsistent with any of the Provisions for Disposition of 
Existing Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be considered 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 Administrator may approve such 
a request.

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 
cancellation or termination action. The existing stocks provisions of 
this order terminating uses and eliminating certain application methods 
are as follows and are effective immediately.
    Provided that these stocks bear labels previously approved by EPA, 
registrants may sell and distribute existing stocks of the affected 
products for 18 months from the effective date of this order, with the 
exception of Scotts Ortho Business Group and Matson LLC, who may sell 
and distribute existing stocks of EPA Registration Numbers 239-2514 and 
8119-5, respectively, in Table 1 of Unit II. for 24 months from the 
effective date of this order. Thereafter the distribution and sale of 
existing stocks by registrants of any of the products listed in Table 1 
that bear the terminated uses or application methods will not be lawful 
under FIFRA, except for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export 
consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. This order 
allows persons other than the registrant to continue to sell and/or use 
existing stocks of canceled products until such stocks are exhausted, 
provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the previously 
approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product. This 
order specifically prohibits any use of existing stocks that is not 
consistent with such previously approved labeling.
