EPA requests public comment during the next 30 days on a second petition supplement received from NRDC, dated January 18, 2011, requesting that the Agency cancel all pet collar uses for the VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Jun 14, 2011 Jkt 223001 pesticide propoxur. To date, NRDC has submitted: 1. A petition dated November 26, 2007 as a public comment to the Revised N-methyl Carbamate Cumulative Risk Assessment docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0935; 2. A petition supplement, dated April 23, 2009, which included an NRDC study report; 3. A mass comment campaign from April 8, 2009 to June 8, 2009 which includes approximately 8,600 letters to EPA requesting the cancellation of tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur in pet products; 4. Comments on the Propoxur Preliminary Work Plan for registration review, dated February 16, 2010; 5. A second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011; and, 6. A mass comment campaign, which includes approximately 7,577 letters supporting its January 18, 2011 petition supplement, submitted under cover letter dated February 2, 2011. 7. All documents are available under EPA docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP– 2009–0207. Again, however, by today’s notice, EPA seeks comment only on NRDC’s second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011. In its second petition supplement dated January 18, 2011, on which EPA now seeks comment, NRDC states that the April 7, 2010 ORE assessment indicates risks above EPA’s level of concern for children’s incidental oral exposure, and that EPA should, therefore, take action to cancel propoxur pet collar uses. NRDC claims that exposure levels from pet collars for household children may be significantly higher than EPA estimates based on common daily activities and contact between children and pets. Furthermore, NRDC claims that the April 7, 2010 ORE risk assessment includes inadequate assumptions in exposure scenarios for children and lacks adequate consideration for dermal exposure and cancer risks. In 2009, EPA initiated the registration review process of propoxur. The final work plan and related documents are available on the electronic docket at: EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0806. The 2007 Revised N-methyl Carbamate Cumulative Risk Assessment (NMCCRA), related documents, and comments are available in the electronic docket at: EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0935. EPA’s 1997 Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Propoxur is available on EPA’s pesticide Web page at: https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ reregistration/status.htm.

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 November 10, 2010 Federal Register notice (75 FR
69070) (FRL-8851-9) announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellations of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.

IV. Cancellation Order

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the 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 cancelled. The effective date of
the cancellations that are the subject of this notice is June 15, 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 cancelled 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 in the Federal Register issue of November 10, 2010. The comment
period closed on May 9, 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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until June 15, 2012, which is
1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing products listed in Table 1, except for export in
accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal. Persons other
than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until existing stocks are
exhausted, provided that such sale,

[[Page 34982]]

distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously
approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled products.
