SUMMARY:

This submission announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1 & Table 1A of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a May 11, 2021 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel these product registrations.

Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this submission, a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations.

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

During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments in response to the May 11, 2021 Federal Register notice announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of products listed in Table 1 & Table 1A of Unit II; however, the registrant FMC Corporation, withdrew their request for cancellation of the product registration 279-3333; therefore, this product registration has been removed from this cancellation order.

IV. Cancellation Order

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in Table 1 & Table 1A of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are canceled. The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this document is July 20, 2021. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 & Table 1A 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 May 11, 2021 (86 FR 25861) (FRL-10023-30). The comment period closed on June 10, 2021.

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 cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products subject to this order are as follows.

A. For Products 400-600, 10324-89, 10324-139, 10324-140, 10324-149, 10324-187, 34704-920, 70506-214, 70506-292 & 70506-293

For products 400-600, 10324-89, 10324-139, 10324-140, 10324-149, 10324-187, 34704-920, 70506-214, 70506-292 & 70506-293, the registrants have requested 18-months to sell existing stocks. Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon cancellation of these product cancellations, identified in Table 1of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these voluntarily canceled products for 18-months after the effective date of the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing these products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

B. For Product 1021-2600

For product 1021-2600, the registrant has requested that the cancellation becomes effective September 30, 2022. Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with this pesticide product, upon cancellation of this product cancellation, identified in Table 1A of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of this voluntarily canceled product for 1 year after the effective date of the product cancellation, which will be September 30, 2023. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing this product identified in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of all other products listed in Table 1 of Unit II until July 20, 2022, which is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing all other products listed in Table 1, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper disposal. Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 & Table 1A of Unit II until existing 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.
