The requests would terminate azinphos-methyl use in or on caneberries, cotton, cranberries, peaches/nectarines, potatoes, and Southern pine seed orchards. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this notice unless, based on substantive comments received during the comment period or other relevant information, the Agency determines that the requests merit further review. Upon granting these requests, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order. A companion notice, announcing the order to amend registrations of azinphos-methyl manufacturing-use products to terminate these same uses, is published elsewhere in this Federal Register.
