  2021-06845. Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations  

  • Start Preamble

    AGENCY:

    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

    ACTION:

    Notice.

    SUMMARY:

    This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a February 17, 2021 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 17, 2021 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, 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 three public comments on the notice, but none merited its further review of the requests. Further, the registrant of 70596-9 & 15440-31 withdrew their requests for cancellation; therefore, these registrations have been removed from this notice. Accordingly, Start Printed Page 17386EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. 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 are effective April 2, 2021.

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

    The Agency received three public comments on the notice. The Agency does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period merit further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary cancellation. NuFarm Americas, Inc, withdrew their two requests, 70596-9 & 15440-31 for cancellation.

    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 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 notice is April 2, 2021. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 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 February 17, 2021 (86 FR 9931) (FRL-10019-58). The comment period closed on March 19, 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 1007-99, 1007-100 and 1007-101

    For products 1007-99, 1007-100 and 1007-101, the registrant has requested to sell its existing stocks of Chlorhexidine diacetate containing pesticides until May 31, 2021, the registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of these voluntarily canceled products until May 31, 2021. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the identified products 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 Products 10324-57, 10324-71, 10324-158, 10324-160, 10324-164, 10324-176

    C. For Product 61282-54

    For product 61282-54, the registrant has requested 13-months to sell existing stocks, registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of the voluntarily canceled product for 13-months after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be the date of publication of this 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.

    For all other voluntary product cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of these other products listed in Table 1 of Unit II until April 4, 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 the 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 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.
