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 January 11, 2012
Federal Register Notice announcing the
Agency’s receipt of the requests for
voluntary amendments to delete uses of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
notice is April 11, 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 VI will be a violation of
FIFRA.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate use of
imidacloprid on almonds, methomyl on
grapes, and oxamyl on soybeans for the
product registrations identified in Table
1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency
hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Table 1 of
Unit II are amended to terminate the
affected uses. The effective date of the
cancellations that are the subject of this
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 notice of receipt for
this action was published for comment

on January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1684) (FRL–
9328–2). The comment period closed on
February 10, 2012.
VI. 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
stock provisions for the products subject
to this order are as follows.
Once EPA has approved amended
imidacloprid product labels reflecting
the requested amendments to delete use
on almonds, registrants are permitted to
sell or distribute products listed in
Table 1 of Unit II under the previously
approved labeling until October 11,
2013, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in
this Federal Register, unless other
E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM
11APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2012 / Notices
restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, imidacloprid registrants will
be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products whose labels
include the deleted use identified in
Table 1 of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17, or for
proper disposal.
For methomyl, now that EPA has
approved amended product labels
reflecting the requested amendments to
delete use on grapes, the registrants are
permitted to sell or distribute products
under the previously approved labeling
until June 8, 2012. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the products
whose labels include the deleted use
identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 or for proper disposal.
For imidacloprid and methomyl,
persons other than the registrants may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products whose labels include the
deleted uses until supplies are
exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
deleted uses.
For the oxamyl voluntary amendment,
use on soybeans was removed from all
oxamyl product labels in 2006 following
the Oxamyl Reregistration Eligibility
Decision. Because the soybean use has
not been included on oxamyl product
labels since 2006, no existing stocks
period is needed.

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 January 11, 2012 Federal Register Notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary amendments to delete
uses of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate use of imidacloprid on almonds, methomyl on
grapes, and oxamyl on soybeans for the product registrations identified
in Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations
that are the subject of this notice is April 11, 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 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 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 notice of receipt for this action was published for
comment on January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1684) (FRL-9328-2). The comment
period closed on February 10, 2012.
VI. 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 stock provisions for the products subject to this
order are as follows.
Once EPA has approved amended imidacloprid product labels
reflecting the requested amendments to delete use on almonds,
registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in
Table 1 of Unit II under the previously approved labeling until October
11, 2013, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation
order in this Federal Register, unless other
[[Page 21769]]
restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, imidacloprid registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose
labels include the deleted use identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17, or for proper disposal.
For methomyl, now that EPA has approved amended product labels
reflecting the requested amendments to delete use on grapes, the
registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling until June 8, 2012. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the
products whose labels include the deleted use identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for
proper disposal.
For imidacloprid and methomyl, persons other than the registrants
may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of products whose labels
include the deleted uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the deleted uses.
For the oxamyl voluntary amendment, use on soybeans was removed
from all oxamyl product labels in 2006 following the Oxamyl
Reregistration Eligibility Decision. Because the soybean use has not
been included on oxamyl product labels since 2006, no existing stocks
period is needed.
