III. 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. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that before acting 

on a request for voluntary cancellation, 

EPA must provide a 30-day public 

comment period on the request for 

voluntary cancellation or use 

termination. In addition, FIFRA section 

6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) 

requires that EPA provide a 180-day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The registrants listed in Table 3 of 

Unit II have not requested that EPA 

waive the 180-day comment period. 

Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180- 

day comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation or use 

termination should submit the 

withdrawal in writing to the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. If the products have been 

subject to a previous cancellation or use 

termination action, the effective date of 

cancellation or use termination and all 

other provisions of any earlier 

cancellation or use termination action 

are controlling. 

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products that are 

currently in the United States and that 

were packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the action. If the requests for voluntary 

cancellation and amendment to 

terminate uses are granted, the Agency 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
46052 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 3, 2017 / Notices 

intends to publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register. 

In any order issued in response to 

these requests for cancellation of 

product registrations and for an 

amendment to terminate uses, EPA 

proposes to include the following 

provisions for the treatment of any 

existing stocks of the products listed in 

Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. 

A. For Product 53883–370. 

The registrant has requested to the 

Agency via letter to distribute existing 

stocks for an 18-month period for 

products 53883–370. 

For all other voluntary product 

cancellations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II, registrants will be permitted to 

sell and distribute existing stocks of 

voluntarily canceled products for 1 year 

after the effective date of the 

cancellation, which will be the date of 

publication of the cancellation order in 

the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

registrants will be prohibited from 

selling or distributing the products 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 

disposal. 

Once EPA has approved product 

labels reflecting the requested 

amendment to terminate the use 

identified in Table 2 of Unit II, 

registrants will be permitted to sell or 

distribute products under the previously 

approved labeling for a period of 18 

months after the date of Federal 

Register publication of the cancellation 

order, unless other restrictions have 

been imposed. Thereafter, registrants 

will be prohibited from selling or 

distributing the products whose labels 

include the terminated use identified in 

Table 2 of Unit II, except for export 

consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for 

proper disposal. 

Persons other than the registrant may 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

canceled products and products whose 

labels include the terminated use until 

supplies are exhausted, provided that 

such sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled products 

and terminated use.
