Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices 46985 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 4. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

40 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $2,788. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $2,788 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 100 hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s expectation, 

based on past experience, that 

significantly fewer respondents will 

apply for recognition as Champions or 

Partners in the next three years. This 

change is an adjustment. 

IV. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

the registrant withdraws its request. If 

this request is granted, any sale,

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Request To Cancel 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from the registrant Bayer 

Healthcare, LLC to cancel certain TCVP 

product registrations. TCVP is an 

organophosphate insecticide registered 

for use on livestock and livestock 

premises and as pet collars and pet 

dust/powders in residential settings. In 

a letter dated July 7, 2017, Bayer 

Healthcare, LLC requested EPA to 

cancel certain pesticide product 

registrations identified in Table 1 of 

Unit III. Specifically, Bayer stated that 

the pesticide product registrations 

identified in Table 1 were TCVP pet 

collar products that were never 

commercialized. Bayer noted that since 

the products identified in Table 1 were 

not in the channels of trade, no existing 

stocks provision is required for these 

products. The registrant’s request will 

not terminate the last TCVP products 

registered in the United States. 

III. What action is the agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from a registrant to cancel 

certain TCVP product registrations. The 

affected products and the registrant 

making the request are identified in 

Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant or if the Agency determines

46986 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices 

that there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order canceling 

the affected registrations.

IV. 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 TCVP registrant has requested 

that EPA waive the 180-day comment 

period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 

30-day comment period on the proposed 

requests. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Requests 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for product cancellation or use 

deletion should submit the withdrawal 

in writing to the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the 

products(s) have been subject to a 

previous cancellation action, the 

effective date of cancellation and all 

other provisions of any earlier 

cancellation action are controlling. 

VI. 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 request for voluntary 

cancellation is granted, the Agency 

intends to publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register. 

In any order issued in response to this 

request for cancellation of product 

registrations, EPA proposes to include 

the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

products listed in Table 1 of Unit III. 

For this voluntary cancellation 

request, the registrant indicates that the 

products listed in Table 1 of Unit III are 

not in the channels of trade because 

they were never commercialized. 

Therefore, no existing stocks provision 

is needed. The cancellation will be 

effective on the date of publication of 

the cancellation order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, the registrant will 

be prohibited from selling or 

distributing the products identified in 

Table 1 of Unit III., except for export 

consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 

U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
