2017-27811. 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 1A, Table 1B and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an October 3, 2017 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. The cancellations of products listed in Table 1B would terminate the last Spirodiclofen products registered for use in the United States. In the October 3, 2017 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 received 5 comments on the notice but none merited its further review of the requests. 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 applicable December 26, 2017.

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

During the public comment period provided EPA received 5 general comments, 3 specifically concerning the chemical, Chlorpyrifos. The Agency does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period merits further review or the denial of the requests for the voluntary cancellations of products listed in Table 1A and Table 1B of Unit II or the requests for the amendments to terminate uses in Table 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 the registrations identified in Tables 1A, 1B and 2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Tables 1A, 1B 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 December 26, 2017. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1A, 1B 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 October 3, 2017 (82 FR 46052) (FRL-9966-85). The comment period closed on November 2, 2017.

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.

A. For Products 211-25, 211-32, 211-36, 211-62 and 34810-8

The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter to sell existing stocks for an 18-month period for products 211-25, 211-32, 211-36, 211-62 and 34810-8.

B. For the Products Listed in Table 1b, 264-830 and 264-831

As there are no risk concerns for these products, after December 31, 2020, the registrant will be prohibited from producing, selling, or distributing existing stocks of products containing Spirodiclofen.

C. For Products 47000-91, 47000-95 and 47000-144

The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter to manufacture and/or distribute existing stocks for a 24-month period starting the date of the request which was April 25, 2017 for products 47000-91 and 47000-95, and June 28, 2017 for product 47000-144.

For all other voluntary product cancellations identified in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1A until December 26, 2018, which is December 26, 2018 .

Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing the products listed in Table 1A 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 for the products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, registrants are permitted to sell or distribute the products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously approved labeling until June 26, 2019, 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: December 5, 2017.

Director, Information Technology and Resources Management Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
