ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
cancellation order for the termination of
certain uses, voluntarily requested by
the registrant and accepted by the
Agency, of products containing the
pesticide chloroneb, pursuant to section
6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation
order follows a May 25, 2007 Federal
Register Notice of Receipt of Request
from the chloroneb registrant to
voluntarily terminate certain uses of
their chloroneb product registrations.
The request would terminate
chloroneb’s use as a seed treatment.
These are not the last chloroneb
products registered for use in the United
States. In the May 25, 2007 notice, EPA
indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellation to
terminate 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. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the
registrant did not withdraw their
request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues
in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested termination of
use as a seed treatment. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the
chloroneb products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks
provisions.
The cancellations are effective
November 7, 2007.
