Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain 
Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 
notice of receipt of a request by the registrant, Ticks or Mosquitoes, 
LLC., to voluntarily cancel the pesticide registration for the product, 
Biter Fighter.

DATES: Unless a request is withdrawn by December 6, 2010 or July 9, 
2010 for registrations for which the registrant requested a waiver of 
the 180-day comment period, orders will be issued canceling this 
registration. The Agency will consider withdrawal requests postmarked 
no later than December 6, 2010 or July 9, 2010, whichever is 
applicable. Comments must be received on or July 9, 2010, for this 
registration where the 180-day comment period has been waived.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments and your withdrawal request, identified 
by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0452, by one of 
the following methods:

Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system,

your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part 
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the 
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you 
include your name and other contact information in the body of your 
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your 
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
     Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the 
docket index available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed 
in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or 
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain 
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the 
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. 
Publicly available docket materials are available either in the 
electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available 
in hard copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One 
Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. Although this 
action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use 
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific

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 submitting comments, 
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying 
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information

    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you 
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and 
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of 
profanity or personal threats.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of an application from 
Ticks or Mosquitoes, LLC., the registrant, to cancel the pesticide 
product listed in Table 1 below.

    Unless the request is withdrawn by the registrant within 180 days

------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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. Thereafter, the Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    If the registrant chooses to withdraw the request for cancellation 
such withdrawal must be submitted in writing to the person listed under 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before December 6, 2010. 
This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only 
to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. 
If the product has been subject to a previous cancellation action, the 
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier 
cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also 
include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill 
any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action. EPA's existing stocks policy (56 FR 29362) 
provides that: ``If a registrant requests to voluntarily cancel a 
registration where the Agency has identified no particular risk 
concerns, the registrant has complied with all applicable conditions of 
reregistration, conditional registration, and Data Call-Ins, and the 
registration is not subject to a Registration Standard, Label 
Improvement Program, or reregistration decision, the Agency will 
generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 
1 year after the cancellation request was received. Persons other than 
registrant will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use 
existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted.''
    Upon cancellation of the pesticide identified in Table 1, EPA 
anticipates allowing sale, distribution and use as described in this 
unit. Exception to this general policy will be made in specific cases 
when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the 
product or its ingredients have already been imposed, as in a special 
review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential 
risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.
