The request would terminate DDVP use in dry bait formulations and in impregnated resin cat and dog flea collars.

In the Notices, EPA indicated that it would issue an order to implement the termination of certain uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30 day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew their request within this period.

Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the request to terminate the uses described above.

their request within this period. The Agency did not receive any 
comments on the Notices. Further, the registrant did not withdraw their 
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
