Ethyl parathion is an organophosphate insecticide/miticide that was once registered for agricultural uses; however, no legal uses of ethyl parathion remain.

In addition, sale and distribution of all other end-use products containing ethyl parathion by registrants was prohibited as of December 31, 2002. The last legal date to use products containing ethyl parathion was October 31, 2003; therefore, it is appropriate to cancel the last four remaining product registrations immediately after the closing of the comment period on this notice. 19713–322 VerDate jul<14>2003 16:41 Apr 26, 2005 Jkt 205001 Drexel Seis-Tres 6-3 19713–323 Drexel Parathion 8 ethyl parathion was prohibited as of October 31, 2003, there will be no existing stocks provision for the four products referenced in this notice upon their cancellation.

In addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA 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 Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment. Drexel Chemical Company has requested that EPA waive the 180–day comment period. EPA will provide a 30–day comment period on the proposed requests. Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an order will be issued canceling the affected registrations. 21763 Drexel Chemical Company, 1700 Channel Avenue, P.O.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received

     During the public comment period provided, EPA received no 
comments in response to the February 5, 2003Federal Register Notice 
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for the respective 
voluntary cancellations of ethoprop.

IV. Cancellation Order

     Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested 
cancellations of ethoprop registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit 
II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the ethoprop product 
registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby canceled. 
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 below in 
Unit VI. will be considered a violation of FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

     Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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 Administrator may approve such 
a request.

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 effective date of cancellation is April 27, 
2005. The Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks from the 
February 5, 2003 Federal Register Notice indicated that the registrant 
was permitted to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after 
the date the cancellation request was received. The request to 
voluntarily cancel the ethoprop product registration identified in 
Table 1 of Unit II. was received by the Agency on October 8, 2002. 
Therefore, the registrant was allowed to sell and distribute existing 
stocks until October 8, 2003. Existing stocks already in the possession 
of dealers or users can be distributed, sold, or used legally until 
stocks are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply 
with the EPA-approved labels and labeling of the affected products.
