environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential
environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups
or segments of the population who, as
a result of their location, cultural
practices, or other factors, may have
atypical, unusually high exposure to
Sodium fluoride compared to the
general population.
EPA is applying the principles of
public participation to all pesticides
undergoing reregistration and tolerance
reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide
Tolerance Reassessment and
Reregistration; Public Participation
Process, published in the Federal
Register on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819)
(FRL–7357–9), explains that in
conducting these programs, the Agency
is tailoring its public participation
process to be commensurate with the
level of risk, extent of use, complexity
of the issues, and degree of public
concern associated with each pesticide.
For Sodium Fluoride a modified, 4–
Phase process with 1 comment period
and ample opportunity for public
consultation seems appropriate in view
of its refined risk assessments and/or
other factors. However, if as a result of
comments received during this
comment period EPA finds that
additional issues warranting further
discussion are raised, the Agency may
lengthen the process and include a
second comment period, as needed.
All comments should be submitted
using the methods in ADDRESSES, and
must be received by EPA on or before
the closing date. Comments will become
part of the Agency Docket for Sodium
Fluoride. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
B. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?

directs that, after submission of all data
concerning a pesticide active ingredient,
‘‘the Administrator shall determine
whether pesticides containing such

reregistration,’’ before calling in
product-specific data on individual enduse products and either reregistering
products or taking other ‘‘appropriate

Disulfoton; Order to Amend
Registrations to Terminate Uses
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellation, voluntarily
requested by the registrant and accepted
by the Agency, of certain products
containing the pesticide disulfoton,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
termination order follows a December
15, 2004 Federal Register Notice of
Receipt of Request (69 FR 75061) (FRL–
7689–8) from the disulfoton registrant to
voluntarily terminate the following uses
of their 15% granular formulation of
disulfoton (Di-Syston 15G): beans,
Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower,
cotton, peanuts, peppers, radish grown
for seed, and clover grown for seed. DiSyston 15G is not the last disulfoton
product registered for use in the United
States. The registrant will retain use of
Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas
trees in North Carolina and coffee trees
in Puerto Rico, provided it is used with
a closed system applicator. The
registrant will retain the registration of
Di-Syston 8E, the liquid emulsifiable
concentrate, which must also be used
with closed system applicators. In the
December 15, 2004 notice, EPA
indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the amendments to
terminate the subject uses, unless the
Agency received substantive comments
within the 180 day comment period that
would merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrant
withdrew their request within this
period. The Agency received comments
on the notice but none merited its
further review of the requests. The
registrant did not withdraw their
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues
in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested Voluntary
Termination of Certain Uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the DiSyston 15G products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order,

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period,
EPA received two comments on the
December 15, 2004 Notice. One
comment requested cancellation of the
use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir
Christmas trees in North Carolina and
coffee trees in Puerto Rico. However, the
comment did not contest any specific
aspect of the Agency’s evaluation of
these uses. A second comment protested
the cancellation of Di-Syston 15G usage
on winter wheat. However, the
December 15, 2004 Notice did not list
winter wheat among the uses for
voluntary termination. The 2002
disulfoton RED stipulated that DiSyston 15G wheat usage would be
phased out by 2005. The Agency will
evaluate this comment and publish the
results in a separate Federal Register
entry. For these reasons, 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.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested use
terminations of disulfoton registrations
identified in Table 1. Accordingly, the
Agency orders that the disulfoton
product registrations identified in Table
1 of Unit II are hereby canceled and
amended to terminate the affected uses.
Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in
Table 1 in a manner inconsistent with
any of the Provisions for Disposition of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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 cancellation order issued in this
notice includes the following existing
stocks provisions.
The Agency will allow the continued
sale and/or use of existing stocks of
cancelled products until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is
consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled product.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellation,
voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of
certain products containing the pesticide disulfoton, pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This termination order follows a December 15,
2004 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Request (69 FR 75061) (FRL-
7689-8) from the disulfoton registrant to voluntarily terminate the
following uses of their 15% granular formulation of disulfoton (Di-
Syston 15G): beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cotton,
peanuts, peppers, radish grown for seed, and clover grown for seed. Di-
Syston 15G is not the last disulfoton product registered for use in the
United States. The registrant will retain use of Di-Syston 15G on
Fraser fir Christmas trees in North Carolina and coffee trees in Puerto
Rico, provided it is used with a closed system applicator. The
registrant will retain the registration of Di-Syston 8E, the liquid
emulsifiable concentrate, which must also be used with closed system
applicators. In the December 15, 2004 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the amendments to terminate the
subject uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within
the 180 day comment period that would merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrant withdrew their request within this
period. The Agency received comments on the notice but none merited its
further review of the requests. The registrant did not withdraw their
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
order granting the requested Voluntary Termination of Certain Uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the Di-Syston 15G products subject to
this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms
of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The use terminations are effective October 10, 2007.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period, EPA received two comments on the
December 15, 2004 Notice. One comment requested cancellation of the use
of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees in North Carolina and
coffee trees in Puerto Rico. However, the comment did not contest any
specific aspect of the Agency's evaluation of these uses. A second
comment protested the cancellation of Di-Syston 15G usage on winter
wheat. However, the December 15, 2004 Notice did not list winter wheat
among the uses for voluntary termination. The 2002 disulfoton RED
stipulated that Di-Syston 15G wheat usage would be phased out by 2005.

amended to terminate the affected uses. Any distribution, sale, or use
of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 in a manner
inconsistent with any of the Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks set forth 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
