Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations and 
Amendments To Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and 
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants 
and accepted by the Agency, of certain product registrations, pursuant 
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 
This cancellation order follows an August 29, 2022, Federal Register 
Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of 
Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and amend certain product registrations 
to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the August 29, 
2022, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing 
the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency 
received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that 
would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the 
registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any 
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their 
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation 
order granting the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate 
uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this 
cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of 
this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective November 22, 
2022.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the August 29, 2022, Federal Register notice announcing 
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and 
amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of 
Unit II.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses 
of product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled and amended to 
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations 
that are subject of this notice is November 22, 2022. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 
and 2 of Unit II, in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions 
for disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI, will be a 
violation of FIFRA.

V. 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. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA 
Administrator may approve such a request. The notice of receipt for 
this action was published for comment in the Federal Register of August 
29, 2022 (87 FR 52773) (FRL-9997-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed 
on September 28, 2022.

VI. 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 
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this 
order is as follows.
    For 10324-142, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant has 
requested an 18-month sell-through period. The registrant may continue 
to sell and distribute existing stocks of 10324-142 until May 22, 2024, 
a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in 
this Federal Register, unless other restrictions have been imposed. 
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or 
distributing the product.
    For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II, 
the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until November 22, 2023, 
which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the 
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from 
selling or distributing all other products listed in Table 1 of Unit 
II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 
136o) or for proper disposal.
    Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested 
amendments to terminate uses listed in Table 2 of Unit II, registrants 
are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit 
II, under the previously approved labeling until May 22, 2024, a period 
of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this 
Federal Register, unless other restrictions have been imposed. 
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing 
the products whose labels include the terminated uses identified in 
Table 2 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 
or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use 
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include 
the terminated uses, until supplies 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 and terminated uses.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: November 15, 2022.
