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. If these
requests are granted, any sale,

this notice will be permitted after the
registration has been canceled only if
such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms as described
in the final order.

II. Background on the Receipt of
Requests To Cancel Registrations
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of requests from registrants Bayer
Environmental Science and Bayer
CropScience to cancel certain carbaryl
product registrations. In letters dated
March 26, 2010 and April 7, 2010, Bayer
Environmental Science and Bayer
CropScience, respectively, requested
EPA to cancel affected product
registrations and to terminate uses of
pesticide product registrations
identified in Table 1 of this notice.
Specifically, Bayer Environmental
Science chose not to submit revised
section 3 labels in response to the
carbaryl product reregistration process,
and Bayer CropScience stated the 24c
special local need registrations are no
longer needed. The registrants’ requests
will not terminate the last carbaryl
products registered in the United States,
or the last pesticide products registered
in the United States for these uses.
III. What Action Is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of requests from registrants to cancel
certain carbaryl product registrations.
The affected products and the
registrants making the requests are
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the
registrant or if the Agency determines
that there are substantive comments that
warrant further review of this request,
EPA intends to issue an order canceling
the affected registrations.

IV. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00131
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Section
6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before
acting on a request for voluntary
cancellation, EPA must provide a 30–
day public comment period on the
request for voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA
provide a 180–day comment period on
a request for voluntary cancellation or
termination of any minor agricultural
use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of
the comment period, or
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM
05MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 5, 2010 / Notices
2. The Administrator determines that
continued use of the pesticide would
pose an unreasonable adverse effect on
the environment.
The carbaryl registrants have
requested that EPA waive the 180–day
comment period. Accordingly, EPA will
provide a 30–day comment period on
the proposed requests.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation or use
deletion should submit the withdrawal
in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all
other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products that are
currently in the United States and that
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the action. If the requests for voluntary
cancellation are granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to
these requests for cancellation of
product registrations, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
products listed in Table 1.
For voluntary product cancellations,
registrants will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of voluntarily
canceled products for 1–year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which
will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1,
except for export consistent with section
17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
canceled products until supplies are
exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.

IV. 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. Section
6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a request for
voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period
on the request for voluntary cancellation or use termination. In
addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-
day comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or
termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the request,
unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
[[Page 24699]]
2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The carbaryl registrants have requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period
on the proposed requests.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
If the products have been subject to a previous cancellation
action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are controlling.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation are granted, the
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations, EPA proposes to include the following
provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products
listed in Table 1.
For voluntary product cancellations, registrants will be permitted
to sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for 1-year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be
the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in Table 1, except for export
consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products until supplies are exhausted,
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.
