The cancellation orders for methyl parathion products, issued in the Federal Register on February 25, 2011 and March 23, 2011 are rescinded. The rescission only applies to methyl parathion registrations. The above mentioned cancellation orders remain in full force and effect with respect to all other product registrations and chemicals contained in those cancellation orders.

Cancellation Order Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the cancellations of methyl parathion registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II, as originally requested by the registrant. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are canceled. The effective date of the methyl parathion cancellations that are subject of this cancellation order is December 31, 2012. 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 V will be a violation of FIFRA. erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES 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. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA Administrator may approve such a request. The notices of receipts VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Jul 08, 2011 Jkt 223001 for this action were published for comment on September 22, 2010 (75 FR 57787) (FRL–8846–2) and January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4692) (FRL–8856–9). The comment periods closed on October 22, 2010 and February 25, 2011, respectively. No comments were received from either notice. However, EPA mistakenly issued a cancellation order with respect to the product listed in Table 1 that was inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the registrant’s request. EPA is therefore rescinding its earlier cancellation order with respect to these methyl parathion products and issuing a corrected cancellation order. V. 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. Registrants are prohibited from selling and distributing end-use products as of December 31, 2012. Persons other than the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing end-use products as of August 31, 2013.
