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.

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.

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. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at https://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet
and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly
available docket materials are available either in the electronic

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from
registrants to cancel 45 pesticide products registered under FIFRA
section 3 or 24(c). These registrations are listed in sequence by
registration number (or company number and 24(c) number) in Tables 1,
2, and 3 of this unit.
Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments
that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw
their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register
canceling all of the affected registrations.

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 180-day 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:

A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit II Except Nos. 080490-00002,
080490-00003, 080490-00004

The Agency anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute
existing stocks of these products for 1 year after publication of the
Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from 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 EPA-approved 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 the continued sale and distribution of existing
stocks of these products after the effective date of this cancellation
for several reasons. First, there are currently no tolerances in effect
for any of the food or feed crops associated with the domestic use of
these products, and there have been none since the 2009 tolerance
revocations took effect on 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.
