II. Background on the Receipt of
Request To Cancel Registrations
sunflowers. In a letter dated August 11,
2010, Bayer requested EPA to cancel
certain pesticide product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit III.
Specifically, the technical registrant
voluntarily requested these
cancellations because Bayer has not sold
products containing tralomethrin for
several years. This action on the
registrant’s request will not terminate
the last tralomethrin products registered
in the United States, but this action will
cancel the sole technical product
registration for tralomethrin.
III. What Action Is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from registrant Bayer (Bayer
CropScience LP and Bayer
Environmental Science) to cancel
certain tralomethrin product
registrations. Tralomethrin is a broadspectrum Type II systemic pyrethroid
ester insecticide registered for use in a
variety of residential and commercial
settings, and on a small number of
agricultural crops including broccoli,
cauliflower, cotton, lettuce, peanuts and
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from a registrant to cancel
certain tralomethrin product
registrations. The affected products and
the registrant making the request 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Unless a request is withdrawn by the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.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
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 request for voluntary
cancellation is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to this
request 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 of Unit III.
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 of
Unit III., except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 or for proper
disposal.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants
will be permitted to sell or distribute
products under the previously approved
labeling for a period of 18 months after
the date of Federal Register publication
of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited
from selling or distributing the products
whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 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.

Review of the Secondary National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of
Sulfur
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Extension of comment period.
AGENCY:
The Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards (OAQPS) of
EPA recently made available a draft
report, Policy Assessment for the Review
of the Secondary National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for Oxides of
Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur: Second
External Review Draft (75 FR 57463,
September 21, 2010). The EPA released
this preliminary draft document to seek
early consultation with the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
and to solicit public comment on the
overall structure, framing of key issues
and conclusions regarding options for
key elements of the standards. Four
supplementary materials were released
at a later date (75 FR 61486, October 5,
2010). The supplementary materials
were: an errata sheet for Chapter 5; an
addendum for Chapter 5; an additional
Table 7–1 (summary of key
uncertainties); and an additional table
for Chapter 9 (summary of options for
elements of the nitrogen oxides (NOX)
and sulfur oxides (SOX) standard).
Comments were originally scheduled to
be submitted on or before November 12,
2010. A request for an extension to the
comment period has been received. The
EPA is granting this extension to allow
stakeholders and the public with
adequate time to conduct appropriate
analysis and meaningful comments.
Therefore, the comment period is being
moved from November 12, 2010, to
November 26, 2010.
DATES: Comments should be submitted
on or before November 26, 2010.

lettuce, peanuts and sunflowers. In a letter dated August 11, 2010,
Bayer requested EPA to cancel certain pesticide product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit III. Specifically, the technical
registrant voluntarily requested these cancellations because Bayer has
not sold products containing tralomethrin for several years. This
action on the registrant's request will not terminate the last
tralomethrin products registered in the United States, but this action
will cancel the sole technical product registration for tralomethrin.
III. What Action Is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant
to cancel certain tralomethrin product registrations. The affected
products and the registrant making the request 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 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, 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 tralomethrin registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-
day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment
period on the proposed request.
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
product(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
[[Page 70258]]
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 request for voluntary cancellation is granted, the
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to this request 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 of Unit III.
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 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
cancellation order, unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the deleted uses identified in Table
1 of Unit III., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 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.
