unless the registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are
granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this
notice will be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled
only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as
described in the final order.

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

registered under FIFRA section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C.
136v(c)). These registrations are listed in sequence by registration
number (or company number and 24(c) number).

III. 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. FIFRA further provides that,
before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of
any such request in the Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The registrants in Table 3 of Unit II have not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180-
day comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit the withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
A. Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide
products that are currently in the United States and that were
packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective
date of the cancellation action. Because the Agency has identified no
significant potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide
products, upon cancellation of the products identified in Table 1 of
Unit II., EPA anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute
existing stocks of these products for 1 year after publication of the
Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticides
identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. Persons other
than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks until such stocks 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.
B. For the product identified in Table 2 of Unit II., in a letter
dated October 22, 2015, the registrant states that the use to be
deleted was never registered for use in any state, added to the master
label, or used for its stated purpose. Therefore, because there are no
existing stocks, EPA anticipates that no existing stocks provision to
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks is needed for the registrant
or persons other than the registrant.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
