In accordance with section
6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of request for
amendments by registrants to delete
uses in certain pesticide registrations.
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 amended to delete one
or more uses. FIFRA further provides
that, before acting on the request, EPA
must publish a notice of receipt of any
request in the Federal Register.
DATES: The deletions in Table 2 are
effective March 26, 2012, and the
deletion in Table 1 is effective October
28, 2011. If the Agency receives a
written withdrawal request on or before
March 26, 2012 for the pesticides in
Table 2 or October 28, 2011 for the
pesticide in Table 1, the deletions will
not become effective. The Agency will
consider a withdrawal request
postmarked no later than March 26,
2012 for the deletions in Table 2, and
no later than October 28, 2011 for the
deletion in Table 1.
Users of these products who desire
continued use on crops or sites being
deleted should contact the applicable
registrant on or before March 26, 2012
for the products in Table 2, or October
28, 2011 for the product in Table 1.
ADDRESSES: Submit your withdrawal
request, identified by docket

SUMMARY:
D. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of
Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of
these products is September 28, 2011.
EPA will not 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 September 28, 2011.
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.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II., pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows an August 5,
2011 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 4 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel these
product registrations. In the August 5, 2011 notice, EPA indicated that
it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, unless the
Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period
that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the
registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or
use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted
only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing
stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective September 28, 2011.

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 August 5, 2011 Federal Register notice (76 FR 47579)
(FRL-8882-9) announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for
voluntary cancellations of products listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of
Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II. are
cancelled. The effective date of the cancellations that are subject of
this notice is September 28, 2011. Any distribution, sale, or use of
existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 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 August 5, 2011. The comment
period closed on September 6, 2011.
VI. 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 will allow registrants to sell and distribute existing
stocks of these products until September 28, 2012. Thereafter,
registrants are 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 will allow registrants to sell and distribute existing
stocks of these products through September 30, 2011. Thereafter,
registrants are 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 September
28, 2011. The registrants are allowed to sell and distribute existing
stocks until December 31, 2011. Thereafter, registrants are 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
[[Page 60028]]
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 September
28, 2011. EPA will not 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 September 28,
2011. 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.
