The applicant also cites statistics detailing the number of cases of West Nile virus infections during the period 2003–2008, and reports 14 deaths over the period. Methyl soyate (BIO-LARV) will be applied at the rate of 3–5 gallons per acre depending on the density of the vegetation. Per the label the mixture will consist of 3–5 gallons of BIO-LARV to 100 gallons of water. This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by EPA. This notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemption requested by the Wyoming Departmrnt of Agriculture.

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

    One comment was received during the 30-day public comment period. 
The commenter expressed her opinion that no living thing should be 
exposed to rotenone products. The commenter did not, however, provide 
any information or reason to not grant the request to terminate certain 
uses. Therefore, the Agency does not believe that the comment submitted 
during the comment period merits further review or a denial of the 
requests for voluntary use deletion.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested 
amendments to terminate uses of rotenone registrations identified in 
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the 
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are amended to 
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations 
that are subject of this notice is July 14, 2010. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 
of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions for 
disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI. 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 any such 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 June 7, 2006 (71 FR 32948) (FRL-8071-1). The comment period 
closed on July 7, 2006.

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 
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this 
order is as follows.
     For all products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, there is no 
provision for existing stocks of products with labels that include the 
deleted uses in the hands of technical registrants or any formulation 
of these products as of July 14, 2010. Thereafter, the registrants are 
prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of 
Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 or for 
proper disposal.
     Persons other than the registrant may not formulate but may sell, 
distribute, or use existing stocks of products whose labels include the 
deleted uses for July 14, 2011, provided that such sale, distribution, 
or use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling 
that included the deleted uses.
