under section 3 of FIFRA. The 

registration number is listed in Table 1

Park, NC 27709 

On December 15, 2004, EPA 

published a Notice of Receipt of Request 

to Voluntarily Terminate Certain Uses 

(69 FR 75061). That notice contained 

the statement: ‘‘The registrant will 

retain use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir 

Christmas trees in North Carolina...’’ On 

January 21, 2005, during the allowed 

timeframe set out in the December 15, 

2004 notice, EPA received a withdrawal 

request from the registrant that replaced 

an exclusion from termination for 

Christmas trees in North Carolina with 

an exclusion from termination for 

Christmas trees nationwide. EPA did 

not make note of this withdrawal in its 

October 10, 2007 order and instead 

reiterated the statement‘‘The registrant 

will retain use of Di-Syston 15G on 

Fraser fir Christmas trees in North 

Carolina’’ without mention of how 

Christmas trees outside of North 

Carolina would be affected. Today’s 

action is intended to clarify that no use 

of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas 

trees has been terminated. 

III. Amended Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby amends the October 10, 2007 

order to clarify that EPA did not 

terminate use on Fraser fir Christmas 

trees outside of North Carolina of 

disulfoton registrations identified in 

Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the 

Agency hereby orders that the use of 

disulfoton products whose registration 

is identified in Table I of Unit II for use 

on Fraser fir Christmas trees is allowed 

nationwide. 

IV. 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.
