III. 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.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of request in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the
Administrator may approve the request.
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation must submit
withdrawal in writing to the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, postmarked before September
17, 2010. This written withdrawal of the
request for cancellation will apply only
to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1)
request listed in this notice. If the
product has been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are
controlling. The withdrawal request
must also include a commitment to pay
any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill
any applicable unsatisfied data
requirements.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products currently
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:40 Aug 17, 2010
Jkt 220001
in the United States and were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior
to the effective date of the cancellation
action. EPA’s existing stocks policy (56
FR 29362) provides that: ‘‘If a registrant
requests to voluntarily cancel a
registration where the Agency has
identified no particular risk concerns,
the registrant has complied with all
applicable conditions of reregistration,
conditional registration, and data call
ins, and the registration is not subject to
the Registration Standard, Label
Improvement Program, or reregistration
decision. The Agency will generally
permit a registrant to sell or distribute
existing stocks for 1 year after the
cancellation request was received.
Persons other than registrants will
generally be allowed to sell, distribute,
or use existing stocks until such stocks
are exhausted.’’
Upon cancellation of the pesticide
identified in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA
anticipates allowing sale, distribution,
and use as described in this unit.
Exception to this general policy 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.

personal information provided, unless
the comment includes information
claimed to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through regulations.gov or email. The regulations.gov website is an
‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which
means EPA will not know your identity
or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
If you send an e-mail comment directly
to EPA without going through
regulations.gov, your e-mail address
will be automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is
placed in the docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket
are listed in the docket index available
at https://www.regulations.gov. Although
listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material,
is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy
form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either in the

III. 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.
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, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
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
2. The EPA Administrator determines
that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment.
The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II.
have requested that EPA waive the 180–
day comment period. Accordingly, EPA
will provide a 30–day comment period
on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation 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.
V. 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 cancellation action. In any order
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:40 Aug 17, 2010
Jkt 220001
include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
products identified or referenced in
Table 1 of Unit II. These provisions are
consistent with the requests for use
deletions and requests for voluntary
cancellations outlined in Unit II. If the
request for voluntary cancellation and
use termination is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.

III. 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. 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, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 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
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II. have requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-
day comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
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.
V. 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
cancellation action. In any order issued in response to these requests
for use deletions and requests for voluntary cancellations, the Agency
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products identified or referenced in Table 1 of
Unit II. These provisions are consistent with the requests for use
deletions and requests for voluntary cancellations outlined in Unit II.
If the request for voluntary cancellation and use termination is
granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the
Federal Register.
