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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:14 Apr 10, 2012 Jkt 226001 V. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

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 amendments to terminate uses. Any 
distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation 
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,

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.

List of Subjects

soybean, oxamyl, Pesticides and pests.
