51796 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 31, 2005 / Notices 

Comments Memorandum in the docket 

and electronic EDOCKET. If any 

comment significantly affects the 

document, EPA also will publish an 

amendment to the RED in the Federal 

Register. In the absence of substantive 

comments requiring changes, the dicofol 

RED will be implemented as it is now 

presented. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

‘‘the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. 

This review is to be completed by 

August 3, 2006.

Thiram; Amendment to Terminate Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendment to terminate 

uses, voluntarily requested by the 

registrant and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing the pesticide 

thiram, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This cancellation order follows an April 

27, 2005 Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Request from the thiram 

registrant to voluntarily amend to 

terminate uses of thiram in or on apples. 

These are not the last thiram products 

registered for use in the United States. 

In the April 27, 2005 Notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the amendment to 

terminate uses, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 30–day comment period that would 

merit its further review of this request, 

or unless the registrant withdrew their 

request within this period. The Agency 

did not receive any comments on the 

Notice. Further, the registrant did not 

withdraw their request. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested amendment to terminate uses. 

Any distribution, sale, or use of the 

thiram 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 

August 31, 2005.
