ACTION: Notice of public comment period and listening session. SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 90-day public comment period and a public listening session for the external review draft human health assessment titled, ‘‘Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde Inhalation Assessment: In Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)’’ (EPA/ 635/R–10/002C). The draft assessment was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD). EPA is releasing this draft assessment solely for the purpose of pre-dissemination peer review under applicable information quality guidelines. This draft assessment has not been formally disseminated by EPA. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency policy or determination. A committee of the National Research Council, acting under the auspices of National Academy of Sciences (NAS), will conduct an independent scientific peer review of the EPA draft human health assessment of formaldehyde. The peer review committee will hold meetings, some of which may involve public sessions. Public sessions will be announced before each meeting on the National Academies Web site (https:// www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/ projectview.aspx?key=49207). The public comment period and NAS scientific peer review are separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to comment on the assessment. Due to the timing of the NAS peer review meetings, one or more NAS meetings may take place before the close of EPA’s public comment period (see DATES below).

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments

FRL-8819-1) announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for 
voluntary cancellations of products listed in Unit II., Table 1.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested

Table 1. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product 
registrations identified in Unit II., Table 1 are canceled. The 
effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this notice 
is December 30, 2012. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks 
of the products identified in Unit II., Table 1, in a manner 
inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of existing 
stocks set forth in Unit VI. of this notice will be 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 the request in the Federal Register. 
Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA Administrator 
may approve such a request. The notice of receipt for this action was 
published for comment on April 7, 2010. The comment period closed on 
May 7, 2010.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

     Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and were packaged, labeled, 
and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the action. 
The existing stock provisions for the products subject to this order 
are as follows:
    After December 31, 2012, registrants are prohibited from selling or 
distributing existing stocks of products containing methidathion 
labeled for all uses.

prohibited from selling or distributing existing stocks of products 
containing methidathion labeled for all uses.
    After December 31, 2014, existing stocks of products containing 
methidathion labeled for all uses, already in the hands of users can be 
used legally until they are exhausted, provided that the use complies 
with the EPA approved label and labeling of the affected product.
