ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA), the payment of an annual maintenance fee is required to keep 
pesticide registrations in effect. The fee due last January 15, 2015, 
has gone unpaid for the 236 registrations identified in this document. 
If the fee is not paid, the EPA Administrator may cancel these 
registrations by order and without a hearing; orders to cancel these 
registrations have been issued.

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 
entities that may be affected by this action.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this action, identified by docket identification 
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0634, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory 
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency

Docket is (703) 305-5805. Please review the visitor instructions and 
additional information about the docket available at http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Complete lists of registrations canceled for non-payment of the 
maintenance fee are also available for reference in the OPP Docket.

II. Background

    Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136a-1(i)(5)) requires that all 
pesticide registrants pay an annual registration maintenance fee, due 
by January 15 of each year, to keep their registrations in effect. This 
requirement applies to all registrations granted under FIFRA section 3 
(7 U.S.C. 136a) as well as those granted under FIFRA section 24(c) (7 
U.S.C. 136v(c)) to meet special local needs. Registrations for which 
the fee is not paid are subject to cancellation by order and without a 
hearing.
    Under FIFRA, the EPA Administrator may reduce or waive maintenance 
fees for minor agricultural use pesticides when it is determined that 
the fee would be likely to cause significant impact on the availability 
of the pesticide for the use.
    In fiscal year 2015, maintenance fees were collected in one billing 
cycle. In late October of 2014, all holders of either FIFRA section 3 
registrations or FIFRA section 24(c) registrations were sent lists of 
their active registrations, along with forms and instructions for 
responding. They were asked to identify which of their registrations 
they wished to maintain in effect, and to calculate

[[Page 70207]]

and remit the appropriate maintenance fees. Most responses were 
received by the statutory deadline of January 15. A notice of intent to 
cancel was sent in April of 2015 to companies who did not respond and 
to companies who responded, but paid for less than all of their 
registrations. Since mailing the notices of intent to cancel, EPA has 
maintained a toll-free inquiry number through which the questions of 
affected registrants have been answered.
    In fiscal year 2015, the Agency has waived the fee for 286 minor 
agricultural use registrations at the request of the registrants. 
Maintenance fees have been paid for about 16,032 FIFRA section 3 
registrations, or about 97% of the registrations on file in October 
2014. Fees have been paid for about 1,912 FIFRA section 24(c) 
registrations, or about 86% of the total on file in October 2014. 
Cancellations for non-payment of the maintenance fee affect about 216 
FIFRA section 3 registrations and about 20 FIFRA section 24(c) 
registrations.
    The cancellation orders generally permit registrants to continue to 
sell and distribute existing stocks of the canceled products until 
January 15, 2016, 1 year after the date on which the fee was due. 
Existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users, however, can 
generally be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are 
exhausted. Existing stocks are defined as those stocks of a registered 
pesticide product which are currently in the United States and which 
have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the 
effective date of the cancellation order.
    The exceptions to these general rules are cases where more 
stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products 
have already been imposed, through special reviews or other Agency 
actions. These general provisions for disposition of stocks should 
serve in most cases to cushion the impact of these cancellations while 
the market adjusts.

III. Listing of Registrations Canceled for Non-Payment

    Table 1 of this unit lists all of the FIFRA section 24(c) 
registrations, and Table 2 of this unit lists all of the FIFRA section 
3 registrations which were canceled for non-payment of the 2015 
maintenance fee. These registrations have been canceled by order and 
without hearing. Cancellation orders were sent to affected registrants 
via certified mail in the past several days. The Agency is unlikely to 
rescind cancellation of any particular registration unless the 
cancellation resulted from Agency error.

IV. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the 
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations 
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing 
stocks until January 15, 2016, 1 year after the date on which the fee 
was due.
    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation order. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, 
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be 
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided 
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and 
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will 
be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, 
distribution, or use of the products or their 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.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
