II. Background on the Receipt of
Requests to Terminate Certain Uses of
its Chloroneb Products and Request for
Label Amendments
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from Kincaid Inc. (See Table
3 of this unit) to voluntarily terminate
certain uses of four chloroneb product
registrations, and effect label
amendments. Chloroneb is a fungicide
currently registered for use on a wide
variety of food crops but primarily used
for pre-plant cottonseed treatment as
well as on commercial turf and
ornamentals. Other markets for
chloroneb seed treatment uses include:
Sugar beets, soybeans, cotton, and
beans. In a letter dated January 9, 2006,
Kincaid Inc. requested that EPA
terminate certain uses of pesticide
product registrations identified in this
notice in Table 1 of this unit. Kincaid
Inc. requests voluntary termination of
chloroneb’s use on residential lawns
and turf, as well as on lawns and turf
at parks and schools. Specifically,
Kincaid requests that the following use
be terminated: Turf, except for golf
course tees, greens, collars, aprons, and
spot treatment on fairways, as well as
athletic fields used only by professional
athletes. In addition to the use
terminations, Kincaid requests the
following statement be added to the
label for its manufacturing-use
registration (registration number 73782–
1) identified in this notice in Table 2:
‘‘This product may not be formulated
into end use products for use on turf,
except for use on golf course tees,
greens, collars, aprons, and spot
treatment on fairways, as well as
athletic fields used for professional
athletes.’’

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from a registrant to
terminate certain uses of chloroneb
product registrations. The affected
products and the registrant making the
request are identified in Table 1 of this
unit.
Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA,
registrants may request, at any time, that
their pesticide registrations be canceled
or amended to terminate one or more
pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of
FIFRA requires that before acting on a
request for voluntary cancellation, EPA
must provide a 30–day public comment
period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. 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.
The chloroneb registrant has
requested that EPA waive the 180–day
comment period. EPA will provide a
30–day comment period on the
proposed request.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the
registrant within 30 days of publication
of this notice in the Federal Register, or
if the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant
further review of this request, an order
will be issued shortly after the close of
the comment period terminating the
affected registrations.

IV. 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.

been subject to a previous cancellation
action, the effective date of cancellation
and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

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 termination action.
E:\FR\FM\19APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 2006 / Notices
In any order issued in response to this
request for termination of certain uses of
a product registration, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
products identified or referenced in
Table 1: Registrant may sell and
distribute existing stocks for one year
from the date of the use termination
request. The product may be sold,
distributed, and used by people other
than the registrant until existing stocks
have been exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, and use
complies with the EPA-approved label
and labeling of the product.
If the request for voluntary use
termination is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Terminate Certain Uses of
its Chloroneb Products and Request for Label Amendments
This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from Kincaid Inc.
(See Table 3 of this unit) to voluntarily terminate certain uses of
four chloroneb product registrations, and effect label amendments.
Chloroneb is a fungicide currently registered for use on a wide variety
of food crops but primarily used for pre-plant cottonseed treatment as
well as on commercial turf and ornamentals. Other markets for chloroneb
seed treatment uses include: Sugar beets, soybeans, cotton, and beans.
In a letter dated January 9, 2006, Kincaid Inc. requested that EPA
terminate certain uses of pesticide product registrations identified in
this notice in Table 1 of this unit. Kincaid Inc. requests voluntary
termination of chloroneb's use on residential lawns and turf, as well
as on lawns and turf at parks and schools. Specifically, Kincaid
requests that the following use be terminated: Turf, except for golf
course tees, greens, collars, aprons, and spot treatment on fairways,
as well as athletic fields used only by professional athletes. In
addition to the use terminations, Kincaid requests the following
statement be added to the label for its manufacturing-use registration
(registration number 73782-1) identified in this notice in Table 2:
``This product may not be formulated into end use products for use on
turf, except for use on golf course tees, greens, collars, aprons, and
spot treatment on fairways, as well as athletic fields used for
professional athletes.''
III. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant
to terminate certain uses of chloroneb product registrations. The
affected products and the registrant making the request are identified
in Table 1 of this unit.
Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. 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.
The chloroneb registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed request.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, or if the Agency
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further
review of this request, an order will be issued shortly after the close
of the comment period terminating the affected registrations.

IV. 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.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of Chloroneb
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before May 19, 2006. This
written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to
the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If
the products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
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
termination action.
[[Page 20095]]
In any order issued in response to this request for termination of
certain uses of a product registration, EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the
products identified or referenced in Table 1: Registrant may sell and
distribute existing stocks for one year from the date of the use
termination request. The product may be sold, distributed, and used by
people other than the registrant until existing stocks have been
exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, and use complies with
the EPA-approved label and labeling of the product.
If the request for voluntary use termination is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
