that there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order canceling

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.

tribes to assume the section 404 permit 

program for discharges of dredged or fill

program approval and oversight 

responsibilities and the state/tribe needs 

to implement its program. 

To request to assume the CWA section 

404 permit program, states/tribes must 

demonstrate that they meet the statutory 

and regulatory requirements (40 CFR 

233) for an approvable program.
