Product Cancellation Order for Certain 

Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the cancellations, voluntarily 

requested by the registrant and accepted 

by the Agency, of the products listed in 

Table 1 of Unit II, pursuant to the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This 

cancellation order follows a February 

24, 2022, Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Requests from the registrant 

listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily 

cancel these product registrations. In the 

February 24, 2022, notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the cancellations, 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 withdrew their request. The 

Agency received three incomplete 

anonymous public comments on the 

notice, but none merited its further 

review of the requests. Further, the 

registrant did not withdraw their 

requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby 

issues in this notice a cancellation order 

granting the requested cancellations. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

products subject to this cancellation 

order is permitted only in accordance 

with the terms of this order, including 

any existing stocks provisions. 

DATES: The cancellations are effective 

April 27, 2022.

V. 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. Thereafter, following 

the public comment period, the EPA 

Administrator may approve such a 

request. The notice of receipt for this 

action was published for comment in 

the Federal Register of February 24, 

2022 (87 FR 10360) (FRL–9600–01– 

OCSPP). The comment period closed on 

March 28, 2022. 

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. 

For this voluntary cancellation request, 

the registrant indicates that the products 

listed in Table 1 of Unit II are not in the 

channels of trade because they were 

never commercialized in the United 

States. Therefore, no existing stocks 

provision is needed. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. 

Dated: April 18, 2022.

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) estimates the 

recordkeeping and third-party response 

burden of paperwork activities that 

covers the information collection 

requirements contained in the Worker 

Protection Standard (WPS) regulations 

at 40 CFR part 170. Agricultural 

employers and commercial pesticide 

handling establishments (CPHEs) are 

responsible for providing required 

training, notifications and information 

to their employees to ensure worker and 

handler safety. The WPS regulation 

includes training for workers and 

handlers, posting of pesticide-treated 

areas, providing additional information 

for workers before they enter a 

pesticide-treated area while a restricted 

entry interval (REI) is in effect, access to 

more general and application-specific 

information about pesticides used on 

the establishment, and recordkeeping of 

training. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Employers of agricultural 

establishments, including employers in 

farms, nursery, forestry, and greenhouse 

establishments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under 40 CFR 170. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

865,555 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annually or 

on occasion, depending on the activity. 

Total estimated burden: 10,188,669 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $480,131,806 

(per year), includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 259,491 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to a decline 

in the number of respondents (farms 

and employees) since the last Census of 

Agriculture. This change is an 

adjustment.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
