SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, of products
containing the pesticide malathion,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows a May 20,
2009 Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the malathion
registrants to voluntarily cancel or to
amend to terminate uses of certain
malathion product registrations. These
are not the last malathion products
registered for use in the United States.
In the May 20, 2009 Notice, EPA
indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations and
amendments 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
registrants withdrew their requests
within this period. The Agency did not
receive any comments on the notice.
Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their requests. Accordingly,
EPA hereby issues in this notice a
cancellation order granting the
requested cancellations and
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.
The cancellations are effective
July 15, 2009.

During the public comment period
provided, EPA received no comments in
response to the May 20, 2009 Federal
Register notice (74 FR 23708; FRL–
8414–2) announcing the Agency’s
receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellations and amendments to
terminate uses of malathion.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
cancellations and amendments to
terminate uses of malathion
registrations identified in Tables 1 and
2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency
orders that the malathion product
registrations identified in Tables 1 and
2 of Unit II. are hereby canceled or
amended to terminate the affected uses.
Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in
Tables 1 and 2 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.

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.
Registrants may sell or distribute
existing stocks for 1 year from the
effective date of cancellation. This
policy is in accordance with the
Agency’s statement of policy as
prescribed the Federal Register of June
26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL–3846–4).
Existing stocks already in the hands of
dealers or users can be distributed, sold,
or used legally until they are exhausted,
provided that such further sale and use
comply with the EPA-approved label
and labeling of the affected product.
Exception to these general rules will be
made in specific cases when more
stringent restrictions on sale,
distribution, or use of the products or
their ingredients have already been
imposed, as in a special review action,
or where the Agency has identified
significant potential risk concerns
associated with a particular chemical.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
5 U.S.C., App. 2 (FACA), notice is
hereby given that the EPA Science
Advisory Board (SAB) will hold public
teleconferences to conduct two quality
reviews of draft SAB committee reports.
The SAB was established pursuant to 42
U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent
scientific and technical advice to the
Administrator on the technical basis for
Agency positions and regulations. The
SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee
under FACA. The SAB will comply
with the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural
policies.
Background
(a) SAB Quality Review of the Draft
SAB Report on EPA’s Economic
Analysis Guidelines Update. The
Chartered SAB will conduct a quality
review of the SAB Environmental
Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC)
draft report on EPA’s Economic
Analysis Guidelines Update from 2 p.m
to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 6,
2009. EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Economics (NCEE) has
requested SAB review of EPA’s revised
Guidelines for Preparing Economic
Analyses. EPA last issued Guidelines for
Preparing Economic Analyses in
September 2000 to represent Agency
policy on the preparation of economic
analysis required by legislation and
administrative orders. EPA received
advice from the SAB in developing
those Guidelines. Since 2000, there has
been considerable new economic
research and EPA has received new
guidance from the Office of
Management and Budget pertaining to
the Agency’s conduct of regulatory
analysis. In response, NCEE has revised
and updated the Guidelines and has
requested SAB review. More

EPA’s Office of the Science Advisor
(OSA) has requested SAB review of an
‘‘Expert Elicitation (EE) Task Force
White Paper.’’ The White Paper
discusses the potential utility of using
expert elicitation to support EPA
regulatory and non-regulatory analyses
and decision-making, provides
recommendations for expert elicitation
‘‘good practices,’’ and describes steps
for a broader application across EPA.
OSA has asked the SAB to provide
advice regarding the potential
usefulness of expert elicitation, how to
strengthen the scientific basis for its use,
and the implications for possible
implementation at EPA. More
information on this topic can be found

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the May 20, 2009 Federal Register notice (74 FR 23708;
FRL-8414-2) announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of malathion.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of malathion
registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the
Agency orders that the malathion product registrations identified in
Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. are hereby canceled or amended to terminate
the affected uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of
the products identified in Tables 1 and 2 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.
[[Page 34348]]
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.
Registrants may sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year from
the effective date of cancellation. This policy is in accordance with
the Agency's statement of policy as prescribed the Federal Register of
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL-3846-4). Existing stocks already in
the hands of dealers or users can be distributed, sold, or used legally
until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use
comply with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the affected
product. Exception to these general rules will be made in specific
cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of
the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a
special review action, or where the Agency has identified significant
potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.
