ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Product 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 the products listed in Table 1 and Table
2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a July 10,
2018 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel and
amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the July 10,
2018 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 180-day comment period that
would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the
registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received one anonymous
public comment on the notice, but it didn't merit its further review of
the requests. Two registrants requested to withdraw their requests to
cancel registrations. The registrant for 81964-4, requested via letter
to withdraw their voluntary cancellation request. Also, the registrant
for 2596-150 and 2596-151, requested via letter to withdraw their
voluntary cancellation requests. Accordingly, EPA
[[Page 10068]]
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 March 19, 2019.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received one anonymous public comment on the notice, but
it didn't merit its further review of the request. However, two
registrants requested to withdraw their requests to cancel
registrations. The registrant for 81964-4, Chemstarr, LLC, requested
via letter to withdraw their voluntary cancellation request for 81964-
4. Also, the registrant for 2596-150 and 2596-151, The Hartz Mountain
Corporation, requested via letter to withdraw their voluntary
cancellation requests for 2596-150 and 2596-151: For these reasons, the
Agency will not cancel these three registrations and the requests have
been removed from this notice.
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 the 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 March 19, 2019. 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 July
10, 2018 (83 FR 31969) (FRL-9979-71). The comment period closed on
January 7, 2019.
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 voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell
and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until
March 18, 2020, which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation
order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing 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, registrants are permitted to sell or
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously
approved labeling until September 17, 2020, 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.
