II.
Receipt
of
Requests
to
Cancel
and
Amend
Registrations
to
Delete
Uses
A.
Background
Certain
registrants
requested
in
letters
dated
June,
August,
and
September
2001,
that
their
diazinon
registrations
be
amended
to
delete
all
indoor
uses,
certain
agricultural
uses,
and
any
other
uses
that
the
registrants
do
not
wish
to
maintain.
The
requests
also
included
deletions
of
outdoor
non­
agricultural
uses
from
the
labeling
of
certain
end­
use
products
so
that
such
products
would
be
labeled
for
agricultural
uses
only.
Similarly,
other
diazinon
end­
use
registrants
requested
voluntary
cancellation
of
their
diazinon
end­
use
registrations
with
indoor
use
and/
or
certain
outdoor
non­
agricultural
uses,
and
any
other
uses
that
the
registrants
do
not
wish
to
maintain.
Pursuant
to
section
6(
f)(
1)
of
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(FIFRA),
EPA
is
announcing
the
Agency's
receipt
of
these
requests.
These
requested
cancellations
and
amendments
are
consistent
with
the
requests
in
December
2000
by
the
manufacturers
of
diazinon
technical
products,
and
EPA's
approval
of
such
requests,
to
terminate
all
indoor
uses
and
certain
agricultural
uses
from
their
diazinon
product
registrations
because
of
EPA's
concern
with
the
potential
exposure
risk,
especially
to
children.
The
indoor
uses
and
agricultural
uses
subject
to
cancellation
are
identified
in
List
1
below:

at
the
close

Under
section
6(
f)(
1)(
A)
of
FIFRA,
registrants
may
request,
at
any
time,
that
EPA
cancel
any
of
their
pesticide
registrations.
Section
6(
f)(
1)(
B)
of
FIFRA
requires
that
EPA
provide
a
30–
day
period
in
which
the
public
may
comment
before
the
Agency
may
act
on
the
request
for
voluntary
cancellation.
In
addition,
section
6(
f)(
1)(
C)
of
FIFRA
requires
that
EPA
provide
a
180–
day
comment
period
on
a
request
for
voluntary
termination
of
any
minor
agricultural
use
before
granting
the
request,
unless:
1.
The
registrants
request
a
waiver
of
the
comment
period.
2.
The
Administrator
determines
that
continued
use
of
the
pesticide
would
pose
an
unreasonable
adverse
effect
on
the
environment.
In
this
case,
all
of
the
registrants
have
requested
that
EPA
waive
the
180–
day
comment
period.
In
light
of
this
request,
EPA
is
granting
the
request
to
waive
the
180–
day
comment
period
and
is
providing
a
30–
day
public
comment
period
before
taking
action
on
the
requested
cancellations.
Because
of
risk
concerns
posed
by
certain
uses
of
diazinon,
EPA
intends
to
grant
the
requested
cancellations
at
the
close
of
the
comment
period
for
this
announcement
unless
the
Agency
receives
any
substantive
comment
within
the
comment
period
that
would
merit
its
further
review
of
these
requests.

and
is
providing
a
30–
