this notice will be permitted after the
registration has been cancelled only if
such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms as described
in the final order.

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 40 pesticide products registered
under FIFRA section 3 or 24(c). These
registrations are listed in sequence by

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

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. Because the
Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with
these pesticide products, 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
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. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of
Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of
these products is July 31, 2013. The
registrants will be allowed to sell and
distribute existing stocks of products
containing Fenarimol until July 31,
2013. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703

10519
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 July 31, 2015. After this
date, remaining existing stocks of
products containing Fenarimol labeled
for all uses, already in the hands of
users may be used until exhausted,
provided that such use complies with
the EPA-approved label and labeling of
the product.
C. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit
II. Except No. 002217–00692
The registrant will be allowed to sell
and distribute existing stocks until
December 31, 2013. 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.
D. Registration No. 002217–00692
The effective date of cancellation of
this product is December 31, 2013. The
registrant may continue to sell or
distribute existing stocks of chloroneb
for one year from the date of the
cancellation. Thereafter, registrants will

distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
cancelled products.

Pesticide Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: 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 requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel
certain pesticide registrations. EPA intends to grant these requests at
the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency
receives substantive comments within the comment period that would
merit its further review of the requests, or unless the registrants
withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any sale,
distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be
permitted after the registration has been cancelled only if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the
final order.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 23, 2012.

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 docket materials are available either in the electronic
docket at https://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac

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 40 pesticide products registered under FIFRA
section 3 or 24(c). These registrations are listed in sequence by

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. Because the Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, 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
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. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of these products is July 31,
2013. The registrants will be allowed to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products containing Fenarimol until July 31, 2013.
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 July 31, 2015. After this date,
remaining existing stocks of products containing Fenarimol labeled for
all uses, already in the hands of users may be used until exhausted,
provided that such use complies with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the product.
C. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit II. Except No. 002217-00692
The registrant will be allowed to sell and distribute existing
stocks until December 31, 2013. 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.
D. Registration No. 002217-00692
The effective date of cancellation of this product is December 31,
2013. The registrant may continue to sell or distribute existing stocks
of chloroneb for one year from the date of the cancellation.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
this pesticide product, 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.
