Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the December 24, 2008 Federal Register notice (73 FR
79104) (FRL-8394-5) announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellations of certain rodenticide products.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of rodenticide registrations identified in Table 1.
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the rodenticide product
registrations identified in Table 1 are hereby cancelled effective June
4, 2011. Any distribution, sale, or use of the cancelled products
inconsistent with 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 cancelled 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.
The cancellation of products identified in Table 1 is effective
June 4, 2011. The registrants of these products may continue to
produce, sell and distribute the rodenticide products identified in
Table 1 until the cancellation date of June 4, 2011. After June 4,
2011, registrants may no longer distribute or sell new or existing
stocks of products listed in Table 1. After June 4, 2011, persons other
than the registrants may distribute, sell or use existing stocks of the
products listed in Table 1 until such existing stocks are depleted.
