During the public comment period

response to the April 27, 2005 Federal

notice announcing the Agency’s receipt 

of the request for voluntary 

cancellations. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellations of ethyl parathion 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders 

that the ethyl parathion product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II. are hereby canceled. 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 action. 

The cancellation order issued in this 

Notice includes the following existing 

stocks provisions. Because no product 

has been produced, sold or distributed 

for several years, the prohibition on 

sales, distribution and use of existing 

stocks is effective immediately.

Lindane; Cancellation Order 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

issuance of final orders cancelling the 

registrations of all pesticide products 

containing the pesticide lindane. The 

cancellation orders followed the August 

23, 2006 Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Requests (71 FR 49445) (FRL8089-1) from the lindane registrants to 

voluntarily cancel their lindane product 

registrations and announcing the 

commencement of a public comment 

period as required by section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In the August 

23, 2006 notice, EPA indicated that it 

would issue an order implementing the 

cancellations 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 

registrant(s) withdrew their request(s) 

within this period. The Agency did not 

receive any comments that required 

further review of the cancellation 

requests. Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA sent final cancellation orders to the 

registrants granting the requested 

cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or 

use of the lindane products subject to 

these cancellation orders is permitted 

only in accordance with the terms of the 

existing stocks provisions in the 

cancellation orders and described in 

Unit VI. 

DATES: Cancellation of manufacturinguse product registrations was effective 

on October 4, 2006, and the last date of 

use will be July 1, 2007. Cancellation of 

end-use product registrations will be 

effective on July 1, 2007, and the last 

date of use will be October 1, 2009.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Cancellation of manufacturing-use 

product registrations was effective on 

October 4, 2006. Cancellation of end-use 

product registrations will be effective on 

July 1, 2007. 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 action. 

It would be a violation of FIFRA to 

distribute or sell any stocks currently in 

the United States which have been 

produced, packaged, labeled, or released 

for shipment after the effective dates of 

cancellation listed in this document. 

Existing stocks of the canceled 

products may be legally distributed or 

sold until the last date on which the 

product can be used, as specified in the 

cancellation orders, provided that use of 

existing stocks is consistent with the 

terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanies, the 

modified product. For manufacturinguse products, the Agency has 

established in the canellation orders 

July 1, 2007, as the last day on which 

exisiting stocks of these products can be 

used. For end-use products, the Agency 

expects that existing stocks will be 

exhausted by October 1, 2009, and, as 

such, has established in the cancellation 

orders October 1, 2009, as the last day 

on which existing stocks of these 

products can be used.
