Last, EPA is announcing the
availability of an amended final work
plan for the registration review of
imidacloprid. The work plan was
revised to incorporate changes to the
data requirements for registration
review. The revised work plan requires
a 2–year field residue study analyzing 5
commodities for pesticide residues in
nectar and pollen, rather than the repeat
dose field study for pollinators that was
originally required. The imidacloprid
work plan may be found in registration
review docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–
0844, which is available on-line at

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 registrant in Table 2 of Unit II.
has 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
such 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. Because the
Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with
these pesticide products, upon
cancellation of the products identified
in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates
allowing registrants to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these
products for 1 year after publication of
the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the pesticides identified in Table 1 of
Unit II., except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 or for proper
disposal. Persons other than registrants
will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until
such stocks 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.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with section
6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of a request by the

methyl parathion use in or on sweet
potatoes, walnuts, and yams. The
request would terminate the last methyl
parathion products registered for use in
the United States. EPA intends to grant
this request at the close of the comment
period for this announcement unless the
Agency receives substantive comments
within the comment period that would
merit its further review of the request,
or unless the registrant withdraws its
request. If this request is granted, any
sale, distribution, or use of products
listed in this notice will be permitted
after the registration has been canceled
only if the sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms as described

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

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a

comment period on the request for voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) requires that EPA

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 registrant in Table 2 of Unit II. has 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
