received no comments pertaining to the
other registrations in this notice in
response to the October 8, 2008, Federal
Register notice announcing the
Agency’s receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellation and amendments
to terminate certain uses.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate uses of
registrations identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders
that the product registrations identified
in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby
amended to terminate the affected uses
except for methamidophos products
which will become effective September
30, 2009. 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.
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.
disposition, and use of existing stocks of
methamidophos products include the
following: All sale or distribution by the
registrant of existing stocks labeled for
use on cotton is prohibited after
September 30, 2009, unless that sale or
distribution is solely for the purpose of
facilitating disposal or export of the
product. Existing stocks labeled for use
on cotton may be sold and distributed
by persons other than the registrant
until July 31, 2010. Existing stocks
labeled for use on cotton may be used
until September 30, 2010, provided that
such use complies with the EPAapproved label and labeling of the
product.
B. Other Chemicals Addressed in this
Order.
The cancellation order will allow
persons other than the registrant to
continue to sell and/or use existing
stocks of canceled 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 canceled product.
This order specifically prohibits any use
of existing stocks that is not consistent
with such previously approved labeling.

Decision (IRED) for methamidophos.
That IRED specified risk mitigation
measures including: ‘‘Implement a 5–
year phase out of the use on cotton.’’
In accordance with the IRED, Bayer
CropScience has submitted a request to
voluntarily terminate all cotton uses of
the methamidophos products listed
above in Table 2 effective September 30,
2009. Provisions for the sale,

applications to EPA. This action may,
however, be of interest to the public in
general. Since other entities may also be
interested, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action. If you have any questions

II. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR
720.38 authorize EPA to exempt persons
from premanufacture notifice (PMN)
requirements and permit them to
manufacture or import new chemical
substances for test marketing purposes,
if the Agency finds that the
manufacture, processing, distribution in
commerce, use, and disposal of the
substances for test marketing purposes
will not present an unreasonable risk of
injury to human health or the
environment. EPA may impose
restrictions on test marketing activities
and may modify or revoke a test
marketing exemption upon receipt of
new information which casts significant
doubt on its finding that the test
marketing activity will not present an
unreasonable risk of injury.
III. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA has approved the TMEs listed in
this notice. EPA has determined that
test marketing these new chemical
substances, under the conditions set out
in each TME application and in this
notice, will not present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health or the
environment.
IV. What Restrictions Apply to these
TMEs?
The test market time period,
production volume, number of
customers, and use must not exceed
specifications in the applications and
this notice. All other conditions and
restrictions described in the
applications and in this notice must also
be met.

The following additional restrictions
apply to these TMEs. A bill of lading
accompanying each shipment must state
that the use of the substance is restricted
to that approved in the TME. In
addition, the applicant shall maintain
the following records until 5 years after
the date they are created, and shall
make them available for inspection or
copying in accordance with section 11
of TSCA:
1. Records of the quantity of the TME
substance produced and the date of
manufacture.
2. Records of dates of the shipments
to each customer and the quantities
supplied in each shipment.
3. Copies of the bill of lading that
accompanies each shipment of the TME
substance.
V. What was EPA’s Risk Assessment for
these TMEs?
EPA identified no significant human
health or environmental risks for these

test market substances, due to either the
low toxicity of each substance or low
expected exposure. Therefore, the test
market activities will not present an
unreasonable risk of injury to human
health or the environment. (Many of
these TMEs were submitted per the
TSCA New Chemicals Sustainable
Futures Voluntary Pilot Project which is
designed to develop low risk chemicals;
see the Federal Register of December
11, 2002 (67 FR 76282) (FRL–7198–6).
VI. Can EPA Change Its Decision on
these TMEs in the Future?
Yes. The Agency reserves the right to
rescind approval or modify the
conditions and restrictions of an
exemption should any new information
that comes to its attention cast
significant doubt on its finding that the
test marketing activities will not present
any unreasonable risk of injury to
human health or the environment.

any person who intends to manufacture
(defined by statute to include import) a
new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on
the TSCA Inventory) to notify EPA and
comply with the statutory provisions
pertaining to the manufacture of new
chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and
5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to
publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an
application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish
periodic status reports on the chemicals
under review and the receipt of notices
of commencement to manufacture those
chemicals. This status report, which
covers the period from March 23, 2009
through April 10, 2009, consists of the

V. What was EPA's Risk Assessment for these TMEs?
EPA identified no significant human health or environmental risks
for these test market substances, due to either the low toxicity of
each substance or low expected exposure. Therefore, the test market
activities will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to human
health or the environment. (Many of these TMEs were submitted per the
TSCA New Chemicals Sustainable Futures Voluntary Pilot Project which is
designed to develop low risk chemicals; see the Federal Register of
December 11, 2002 (67 FR 76282) (FRL-7198-6).
VI. Can EPA Change Its Decision on these TMEs in the Future?
Yes. The Agency reserves the right to rescind approval or modify
the conditions and restrictions of an exemption should any new
information that comes to its attention cast significant doubt on its
finding that the test marketing activities will not present any
unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.
