For the affected product registrations, this cancellation order terminates malathion use in or on commercial storage/warehouse premises (excluding stored grain facilities such as silos), commercial transportation facilities – feed/food – empty, commercial transportation facilities – nonfeed/ nonfood, commercial/institutional/ industrial premises/equipment (indoor), commercial/institutional/industrial premises/equipment (outdoor), dairies/ cheese processing plant equipment (food contact), eating establishments, food processing plants (excluding stored grain facilities such as silos), golf course turf, greenhouse – empty, indoor hard surfaces, indoor premises, residential dust formulations, residential lawns (broadcast), residential pressurized can formulations, and sewage systems. These are not the last malathion products registered for use in the United States. In the October 8, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the amendment to terminate 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 received comments on the notice but none merited its further review of the requests. Further, the registrant did not withdraw their request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the malathion products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments The Agency received four comments during the 30–day comment period. Two comments recommended cancellation of all malathion uses. However, neither comment provided a substantive rationale for the course of action suggested. A third comment suggested that termination of the use of malathion in greenhouses will limit control options for commercial growers treating ornamental grasses for cereal leaf beetle. Prior to publication of the malathion reregistration eligibility decision in 2006, the technical registrant for malathion requested that greenhouse uses be deleted from the malathion registrations. Consequently, potential risks associated with the use of malathion in greenhouses were not evaluated during the reregistration process. Also, the Agency has determined that there are several alternative chemicals which are suitable for control of cereal leaf beetle on ornamental grasses. The fourth comment indicated support for the continued use of malathion on mushrooms. This order does not address malathion use on mushrooms. 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.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendments to 
terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by

section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 
Act (FIFRA), as amended.

[[Page 73654]]

This cancellation order follows an October 8, 2008 Federal Register 
Notice of Receipt of Request (73 FR 58952) (FRL-8384-1) from the 
malathion registrant to voluntarily terminate uses of their malathion 
product registrations. For the affected product registrations, this 
cancellation order terminates malathion use in or on commercial 
storage/warehouse premises (excluding stored grain facilities such as 
silos), commercial transportation facilities - feed/food - empty, 
commercial transportation facilities - nonfeed/nonfood, commercial/
institutional/industrial premises/equipment (indoor), commercial/
institutional/industrial premises/equipment (outdoor), dairies/cheese 
processing plant equipment (food contact), eating establishments, food 
processing plants (excluding stored grain facilities such as silos), 
golf course turf, greenhouse - empty, indoor hard surfaces, indoor 
premises, residential dust formulations, residential lawns (broadcast), 
residential pressurized can formulations, and sewage systems. These are 
not the last malathion products registered for use in the United 
States. In the October 8, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated that it would 
issue an order implementing the amendment to terminate 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 
received comments on the notice but none merited its further review of 
the requests. Further, the registrant did not withdraw their request. 
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order 
granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of the malathion products subject to this cancellation 
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, 
including any existing stocks provisions.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    The Agency received four comments during the 30-day comment period. 
Two comments recommended cancellation of all malathion uses. However, 
neither comment provided a substantive rationale for the course of 
action suggested. A third comment suggested that termination of the use 
of malathion in greenhouses will limit control options for commercial 
growers treating ornamental grasses for cereal leaf beetle. Prior to 
publication of the malathion reregistration eligibility decision in 
2006, the technical registrant for malathion requested that greenhouse 
uses be deleted from the malathion registrations. Consequently, 
potential risks associated with the use of malathion in greenhouses 
were not evaluated during the reregistration process. Also, the Agency 
has determined that there are several alternative chemicals which are 
suitable for control of cereal leaf beetle on ornamental grasses. The 
fourth comment indicated support for the continued use of malathion on 
mushrooms. This order does not address malathion use on mushrooms. 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 
amendments to terminate uses of malathion registrations identified in 
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the malathion

amended to terminate the affected uses. Any distribution, sale, or use 
of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. 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.

[[Page 73655]]

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 
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.
    1. The registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing
