SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of 
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human 
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide 
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution, 
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency 
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be 
affected by this action.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
Regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from 
registrants to cancel certain pesticide products registered under FIFRA 
section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). These 
registrations are listed in sequence by registration number (or company 
number and 24(c) number) in Table 1 and Table 1A of this unit.
    Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments 
that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw 
their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register 
canceling all of the affected registrations.

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. 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 in Table 2 of Unit II have requested that EPA waive 
the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day 
comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation 
should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a 
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and 
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation 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 
cancellation action.

For MT-120005

    The registrant has requested the effective date of cancellation to 
be, March 3, 2022, for MT-120005; therefore, because the Agency has 
identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with the 
pesticide product, upon cancellation of the product identified in Table 
1A of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing the registrant to sell and 
distribute existing stocks of the product identified in Table 1A of 
Unit II, until March 3, 2023. Thereafter, the registrant will be 
prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticide identified in 
Table 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 
(7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II, 
because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk 
concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon cancellation of 
the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing 
registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products 
for 1 year after publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal 
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or 
distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except 
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for 
proper disposal.
    Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, 
distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks 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.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
