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 SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for SAB 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 directly at the contact information provided. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a teleconference will be limited to three minutes. Those interested in being placed on the public speakers list for the July 26 and 27, 2011 teleconference should contact Dr. Kooyoomjian at the contact information provided above no later than noon on July 22 2011. Written Statements: Written statements should be supplied to the DFO via e-mail at the contact information noted by noon July 22, 2011 for the teleconference, so that the information may be made available to the members of the augmented RAC for their consideration. Written statements should be supplied in one of the following electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– PC/Windows98/2000/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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Jul 08, 2011 Jkt 223001 without explicit permission of the copyright holder. Accessibility: For information on access or services for individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. Kooyoomjian at (202) 564–2064, or email kooyoomjian.jack@epa.gov. To request accommodation of a disability, please contact Dr. Kooyoomjian preferably at least ten days prior to the teleconference or meeting to give as much time as possible to process your request.

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.

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.

Orders and Issuance of Revised Cancellation Orders for Certain 
Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's rescission of two previously 
issued cancellation orders, and the issuance of a revised cancellation 
order, pursuant to a voluntary request by the registrant and accepted 
by the Agency, of products containing methyl parathion, pursuant to 
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 
Act (FIFRA), as amended. Specifically, this notice rescinds two 
previously issued Cancellation Orders, a February 25, 2011 Federal 
Register Notice and a March 23, 2011 Federal Register Notice to the 
extent they are applicable to methyl parathion products because the 
orders did not correctly reflect the terms and conditions of the 
registrant's 6(f)(1) voluntary cancellation request with respect to the 
effective date as well as conditions governing the disposition of 
existing stocks for the affected methyl parathion products. This 
revised order correctly identifies the effective date of cancellation 
for the affected product registrations as well as the corrected dates 
associated with the disposition of existing stocks. These are the last 
products containing methyl parathion registered for use in the United 
States. The rescission and revised order only applies to methyl 
parathion registrations. All other product registrations for all other 
chemicals that were included in the above mentioned cancellation orders 
and are not rescinded or otherwise affected by this action.

DATES: The methyl parathion cancellations are effective December 31, 
2012.

III. 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.

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 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

section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. Additionally, all use of 
existing stocks of the end-use products shall be prohibited as of
