Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 20, 2009 / Notices 23693 

registration of TEMIK 15G for use on 

coffee, pecans and tobacco. EPA 

received no comments pertaining to the 

other registrations in this notice in 

response to the October 8, 2008, Federal 

Register notice announcing the 

Agency’s receipt of the requests for 

voluntary cancellation and amendments 

to terminate certain uses. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

amendments to terminate uses of 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders 

that the product registrations identified 

in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby 

amended to terminate the affected uses 

except for methamidophos products 

which will become effective September 

30, 2009. 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. 

A. Methamidophos. 

On April 7, 2002, EPA signed the 

Interim Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision (IRED) for methamidophos. 

That IRED specified risk mitigation 

measures including: ‘‘Implement a 5– 

year phase out of the use on cotton.’’ 

In accordance with the IRED, Bayer 

CropScience has submitted a request to 

voluntarily terminate all cotton uses of 

the methamidophos products listed 

above in Table 2 effective September 30, 

2009. Provisions for the sale, 

disposition, and use of existing stocks of 

methamidophos products include the 

following: All sale or distribution by the 

registrant of existing stocks labeled for 

use on cotton is prohibited after 

September 30, 2009, unless that sale or 

distribution is solely for the purpose of 

facilitating disposal or export of the 

product. Existing stocks labeled for use 

on cotton may be sold and distributed 

by persons other than the registrant 

until July 31, 2010. Existing stocks 

labeled for use on cotton may be used 

until September 30, 2010, provided that 

such use complies with the EPAapproved label and labeling of the 

product. 

B. Other Chemicals Addressed in this 

Order. 

The cancellation order will allow 

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.

importer who submitted the TME 

applications to EPA. This action may, 

however, be of interest to the public in 

general. Since other entities may also be 

interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How Can I get Copies of this 

Document and Other Related 

Information? 

1. Docket. EPA has established a 

docket for this action under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2009–0270.

II. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR 

720.38 authorize EPA to exempt persons 

from premanufacture notifice (PMN) 

requirements and permit them to 

manufacture or import new chemical 

substances for test marketing purposes, 

if the Agency finds that the 

manufacture, processing, distribution in 

commerce, use, and disposal of the 

substances for test marketing purposes 

will not present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to human health or the 

environment. EPA may impose 

restrictions on test marketing activities 

and may modify or revoke a test 

marketing exemption upon receipt of 

new information which casts significant 

doubt on its finding that the test 

marketing activity will not present an 

unreasonable risk of injury. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA has approved the TMEs listed in 

this notice. EPA has determined that 

test marketing these new chemical 

substances, under the conditions set out 

in each TME application and in this 

notice, will not present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to human health or the 

environment. 

IV. What Restrictions Apply to these 

TMEs? 

The test market time period, 

production volume, number of 

customers, and use must not exceed 

specifications in the applications and 

this notice. All other conditions and 

restrictions described in the 

applications and in this notice must also 

be met.

The following additional restrictions 

apply to these TMEs. A bill of lading 

accompanying each shipment must state 

that the use of the substance is restricted 

to that approved in the TME. In 

addition, the applicant shall maintain 

the following records until 5 years after 

the date they are created, and shall 

make them available for inspection or 

copying in accordance with section 11 

of TSCA: 

1. Records of the quantity of the TME 

substance produced and the date of 

manufacture. 

2. Records of dates of the shipments 

to each customer and the quantities 

supplied in each shipment. 

3. Copies of the bill of lading that 

accompanies each shipment of the TME 

substance. 

V. What was EPA’s Risk Assessment for 

these TMEs? 

EPA identified no significant human 

health or environmental risks for these 

test market substances, due to either the 

low toxicity of each substance or low 

expected exposure. Therefore, the test 

market activities will not present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to human 

health or the environment. (Many of 

these TMEs were submitted per the 

TSCA New Chemicals Sustainable 

Futures Voluntary Pilot Project which is 

designed to develop low risk chemicals; 

see the Federal Register of December 

11, 2002 (67 FR 76282) (FRL–7198–6). 

VI. Can EPA Change Its Decision on 

these TMEs in the Future? 

Yes. The Agency reserves the right to 

rescind approval or modify the 

conditions and restrictions of an 

exemption should any new information 

that comes to its attention cast 

significant doubt on its finding that the 

test marketing activities will not present 

any unreasonable risk of injury to 

human health or the environment.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

any person who intends to manufacture 

(defined by statute to include import) a 

new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on 

the TSCA Inventory) to notify EPA and 

comply with the statutory provisions 

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 

5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to 

publish a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish 

periodic status reports on the chemicals 

under review and the receipt of notices 

of commencement to manufacture those 

chemicals. This status report, which 

covers the period from March 23, 2009 

through April 10, 2009, consists of the 

PMNs and TME, both pending or
