Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2011 / Notices
III. 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.
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 registrants in Table 4 of Unit II.
have requested that EPA waive the 180day comment period. Accordingly, EPA
will provide a 30-day comment period
on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation should submit
such withdrawal in writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products
have been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

V. 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 cancellation action. Upon
cancellation of the products identified
in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II., EPA will
allow existing stocks provisions as
follows:
selling or distributing the pesticides
identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 or for proper disposal. Persons other
than registrants will generally be
allowed to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
cancelled products.
B. Registration Nos. 080490–00002,
080490–00003, 080490–00004
The Agency anticipates allowing
registrants to sell and distribute existing
stocks of these products through
September 30, 2011. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing these pesticide
products, except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 or for proper
disposal. Persons other than registrants
will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until
such stocks are exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled products.
C. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of Unit
II
The effective date of cancellation of
these products is the date of publication
of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. The registrants will be allowed
to sell and distribute existing stocks
until December 31, 2011. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing these pesticide
products, except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 or for proper
disposal.
Persons other than the registrant will
be allowed to sell and distribute existing
stocks through April 30, 2012. After this
date, remaining existing stocks may be
used until exhausted, provided that
such use complies with the EPAapproved label and labeling of the
product.
D. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit
II
The effective date of cancellation of
these products is the date of publication
of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. EPA does not intend to allow
A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit the continued sale and distribution of

December 31, 2009, (May 15, 2009, 74
FR 23046) (FRL–8413–3). In addition,
the Agency believes that little, if any
existing stock remains in the hands of
retailers, based on the sole registrant’s
repeated representation that no
carbofuran products have been released
for shipment since January 2010, and
that they have offered to buy back
unused carbofuran products.
Consequently, sale of existing stocks of
carbofuran is prohibited as of the
effective date of this cancellation. Users
may only use those carbofuran products
labeled for non-food use (ornamentals,
spinach grown for seed, and pine
seedlings) on those specific crops and in
accordance with all geographical
restrictions. Any food or feed crops with
carbofuran residues after this date will
be considered adulterated and subject to
seizure.
