Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s Federal advisory committees and
panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a Federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office.
Federal advisory committees and
panels, including scientific advisory
committees, provide independent
advice to EPA. Members of the public
can submit comments for a Federal
advisory committee to consider as it
develops advice for EPA. Input from the
public to the Council will have the most
impact if it provides specific scientific
or technical information or analysis for
Council panels to consider or if it relates
to the clarity or accuracy of the
technical information. Members of the
public wishing to provide comment
should contact the Designated Federal
Officer for the relevant advisory
committee directly. Oral Statements: In
general, individuals or groups
requesting an oral presentation at this
public meeting will be limited to three
minutes per speaker. Interested parties
should contact Ms. Stephanie Sanzone,
DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail)
at the contact information noted above
by June 20, 2011, to be placed on the list
of public speakers for the meeting.
Written Statements: Written statements
should be received in the SAB Staff
Office by June 20, 2011, so that the
information can be made available to
the Panel for their consideration.
Written statements should be supplied
to the DFO in electronic format via email (acceptable file formats: Adobe
Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word,
MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in
IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format).
It is the SAB Staff Office general policy
to post written comments on the Web
page for the advisory meeting or
teleconference. Submitters are requested
to provide an unsigned version of each
document because the SAB Staff Office
does not publish documents with
signatures on its Web sites. Members of
the public should be aware that their
personal contact information, if

included in any written comments, may
be posted to the SAB Web site.
Copyrighted material will not be posted
without explicit permission of the
copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Ms.
Stephanie Sanzone at the phone number
or e-mail address noted above,
preferably at least ten days prior to the
meeting, to give EPA as much time as
possible to process your request.

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period
provided, EPA received no comments in
response to the December 1, 2010
Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency’s receipt of the requests for
voluntary amendments to delete uses of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
IV. Termination Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate uses of ziram,
diquat dibromide, and chloropicrin
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 terminations
that are the subject of this notice is May
11, 2011. 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:18 May 10, 2011
Jkt 223001
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 December 1, 2010 (75 FR 74714)
(FRL–8854–3). The comment period
closed on January 3, 2011.
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.
The registrants of the chloropicrin
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II
were permitted to sell and distribute
products under the previously approved
labeling until December 1, 2010, or a
revised date if product labels with the
2010 changes (i.e., Phase I) had not been
accepted in all states. The labels were
not accepted in all states until after
December 1, 2010 and so registrants
were permitted by EPA to sell and
distribute products under previously
approved labeling until December 31,
2010. After December 31, 2010, these
registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing the products under
previously approved labels that include
the deleted uses identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
For the ziram and diquat dibromide
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
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 12 months after the date of
Federal Register publication of the
order terminating certain uses, 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 II, 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
products whose labels include the
deleted uses 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
deleted uses.

the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary amendments to delete
uses of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
IV. Termination Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate uses of ziram, diquat dibromide, and
chloropicrin 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 terminations that are the subject of
this notice is May 11, 2011. 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 December 1, 2010 (75 FR 74714) (FRL-8854-3). The comment
period closed on January 3, 2011.
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.
The registrants of the chloropicrin products listed in Table 1 of
Unit II were permitted to sell and distribute products under the
previously approved labeling until December 1, 2010, or a revised date
if product labels with the 2010 changes (i.e., Phase I) had not been
accepted in all states. The labels were not accepted in all states
until after December 1, 2010 and so registrants were permitted by EPA
to sell and distribute products under previously approved labeling
until December 31, 2010. After December 31, 2010, these registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing the products under previously
approved labels that include the deleted uses identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for
proper disposal.
For the ziram and diquat dibromide products listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, 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 12 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
order terminating certain uses, 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 II, 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 products whose labels include the deleted uses 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 deleted uses.
