II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

The
Agency
has
issued
a
RED
for
the
pesticide
active
ingredient
dinocap.
Under
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(
FIFRA),
as
amended
in
1988,
EPA
is
conducting
an
accelerated
reregistration
program
to
reevaluate
existing
pesticides
to
make
sure
they
meet
current
scientific
and
regulatory
standards.
The
RED
for
dinocap
consists
of
a
voluntary
cancellation
of
all
products
registered
in
the
U.
S.
Because
the
registrant,
Dow
AgroSciences,
LLC,
has
expressed
interest
in
retaining
existing
tolerances
for
apples
and
grapes
for
import
purposes,
the
RED
presents
only
a
dietary
risk
assessment
for
those
uses
and
specifically
addresses
the
data
requirements
for
support
of
the
import
tolerances.
The
RED
also
provides
background
information
on
the
pesticide
registration,
reregistration
and
tolerance
reassessment,
an
overview
of
the
uses
and
health
effects
associated
with
dinocap
and
a
summary
of
what
data
are
required
to
support
the
tolerances
on
apples
and
grapes
imported
into
the
U.
S.,
in
the
absence
of
a
U.
S.
registration.
The
reregistration
program
is
being
conducted
under
congressionally
mandated
time
frames,
and
EPA
recognizes
both
the
need
to
make
timely
reregistration
decisions
and
to
involve
the
public.
Therefore,
EPA
is
issuing
this
RED
for
dinocap
as
a
final
document
with
a
30
 
day
public
comment
period
that
is
intended
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
public
input
and
a
mechanism
for
initiating
any
necessary
amendments
to
the
RED.
If
any
comment
significantly
affects
this
RED,
EPA
will
amend
the
RED
by
publishing
the
amendment
in
the
Federal
Register.

B.
What
Is
the
Agency's
Authority
for
Taking
This
Action?
The
legal
authority
for
this
RED
falls
under
FIFRA,
as
amended
in
1988
and
1996.
Section
4(
g)(
2)(
A)
of
FIFRA
directs
that,
after
submission
of
all
data
concerning
a
pesticide
active
ingredient,
``
the
Administrator
shall
determine
whether
pesticides
containing
such
active
ingredient
are
eligible
for
reregistration,''
before
calling
in
product­
specific
data
on
individual
enduse
products,
and
either
reregistering
products
or
taking
``
other
appropriate
regulatory
action.''

reports
will
be
submitted
by
September
30
of
each
year
to
the
Chemical
Review
Manager
for
molinate.
Failure
by
either
registrant
to
comply
with
the
sale
or
distribution
limits
contained
in
the
molinate
registration
constitutes
grounds
for
immediate
cancellation
of
the
registration
without

for
a
hearing.

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
and
provide
a
30
 
day
period
in
which
the
public
may
comment
before
the
Agency
may
act
on
the
request
for
voluntary
cancellation.
In
the
case
of
minor
agricultural
uses,
section
6(
f)(
1)(
c)
of
FIFRA
provides
for
a
180
 
day
comment
period
under
certain
circumstances.
In
this
case,
both
molinate
registrants
requested
that
EPA
waive
the
180
 
day
comment
period.
Accordingly,
pursuant
to
section
6(
f)(
1)(
c)(
ii)
of
FIFRA,
EPA
is
waiving
the
180
 
day
comment
period,
and
will
provide
interested
parties
30
days
to
comment
on
the
action.

IV.
Procedures
for
Withdrawal
of
Request
Registrants
who
choose
to
withdraw
a
request
for
cancellation
must
submit
such
withdrawal
in
writing
to
the
person
listed
under
FOR
FURTHER
INFORMATION
CONTACT,
postmarked
before
October
17,
2003.
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(
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.
The
withdrawal
request
must
also
include
a
commitment
to
pay
any
reregistration
fees
due,
and
to
fulfill
any
applicable
unsatisfied
data
requirements.
Any
person,
including
the
registrant,
who
wants
to
support
the
continued
registration
of
molinate,
must
fulfill
all
outstanding
data
gaps.
In
addition,
EPA
must
find
that
molinate
is
eligible
for
reregistration.

V.
Provisions
for
Disposition
of
Existing
Stocks
The
Agency
intends
to
issue
a
cancellation
order
following
the
consideration
of
all
comments
received
during
the
comment
period,
unless
the
comments
warrant
further
review
of
this
request.
Any
cancellation
order
issued
in
response
to
this
request
will
have
an
expected
effective
date
of
June
30,
2008.
After
that
date,
Syngenta
and
Helm
may
not
sell
or
distribute
any
molinate
products
except
as
detailed
in
the
cancellation
order
as
follows.
Syngenta
and
Helm
will
be
permitted
to
distribute
the
molinate
active
ingredient
in
2009
for
the
purposes
of
facilitating
usage
by
August
31,
2009.
No
use
of
products
containing
molinate
will
be
permitted
after
the
2009
growing
season
(
August
31,
2009).
