manner inconsistent with any of the
Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be

The orders effecting these requested
cancellations will generally permit a
registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks until all stocks are exhausted,
unless other factors (such as hazard)
necessitate modified terms. Exceptions
to this general rule will be made if a
product poses a risk concern, or is in
noncompliance with reregistration
requirements, or is subject to a data callin.
Unless the provisions of an earlier
order apply, 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.

ACTION:
48551
Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations, voluntarily
requested by the registrants and
accepted by the Agency, of pesticide
products containing disulfoton or
methamidophos, pursuant to section
6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation
order follows a July 22, 2009 Federal
Register Notice of Receipt Requests
(FRL–8427–2) from the disulfoton and
methamidophos registrants to
voluntarily cancel their product
registrations. These are the last
disulfoton and methamidophos
products registered for use in the United
States. In the July 22, 2009 Notice, EPA
indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations, 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. Any
distribution, sale or use of disulfoton
and methamidophos products subject to
this cancellation order is permitted only
in accordance with the terms of this
order, including any existing stock
provisions.

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (‘‘EPA’’).
ACTION: Notice; Request for public
comment on proposed CERCLA
administrative agreement and order on
consent with Open Arms of Minnesota
for the South Minneapolis Residential
Soil Contamination Superfund Site.
SUMMARY: Notification is hereby given of
a proposed administrative agreement
concerning certain remedial activities at
the South Minneapolis Residential Soil
Contamination hazardous waste site in
Minneapolis, Minnesota (the ‘‘Site’’).
EPA proposes to enter into this
agreement under the authority of
sections 122, 106 and 107 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1984, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’),
with the approval and participation of
the U.S. Department of Justice. The
proposed agreement has been executed
by Open Arms of Minnesota (the
‘‘Settling Party’’).
Under the proposed agreement, the
Settling Party, which represents that it
is a Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser
under CERCLA, would perform the
remedial actions required under EPA’s
September 5, 2008 Record of Decision
for the Settling Party’s properties at
2514 and 2518 Bloomington Avenue

voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
pesticide products containing disulfoton or methamidophos, pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

2009 Federal Register Notice of Receipt Requests (FRL-8427-2) from the
disulfoton and methamidophos registrants to voluntarily cancel their
product registrations. These are the last disulfoton and methamidophos
products registered for use in the United States. In the July 22, 2009
Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the

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. Any distribution, sale or use of disulfoton
and methamidophos products subject to this cancellation order is
permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including
any existing stock provisions.
DATES: This order is effective on September 23, 2009.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency did not receive any comments on the Notice, published on
July 22, 2009, that announced receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellation and opened a 30-day public comment period that ended on
August 21, 2009.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the disulfoton and methamidophos
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are to be
canceled on their designated effective dates. For disulfoton FIFRA
Section 3 products, the cancellations for EPA Reg. Nos. 264-723, 264-
734, 5481-8989, and 432-1286 are effective December 31, 2009.
Cancellations for EPA Reg. Nos. 264-725 and 72155-49 are effective
December 31, 2010. For all methamidophos products, cancellations are
effective December 31, 2009. For both disulfoton and methamidophos, the
effective cancellation dates for all FIFRA 24(c) Special Local Need
registrations is December 31, 2009.
Any distribution, sale or use of existing stock of the products
identified in Table I 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 stock provisions. Bayer (Bayer
CropScience, Bayer Environmental Science, and Bayer Advanced) may sell
and distribute existing stocks of EPA Reg. Nos. 264-725, 264-729, 264-
734, 264-741, 264-744, 264-1020, 264-1021, and 432-1286 until December
31, 2010. Bayer may sell and distribute existing stocks of EPA Reg.
Nos. 264-723 and 72155-49 until June 30, 2011. Amvac Chemical Corp. may

products until December 31, 2010. For all affected methamidophos and
disulfoton products, persons other than Bayer and AMVAC may sell and
distribute existing stocks until exhausted. Use of the products
canceled by this Notice may continue until existing stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products. The foregoing applies to all products in Table 1, both State-
