September 16, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel and/or amend their registrations to terminate uses of certain products containing the pesticides sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate and potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate. The requests would terminate dimethyldithiocarbamate salts use in or on pressure-treated wood preservatives, sapstain, paints, coatings, and cutting fluids, and prohibit ``open pour'' applications of one product. The request(s) would not terminate the last dimethyldithiocarbamate salts products registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests within this period. Upon acceptance of these requests, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
