Halofenozide is an ecdysone agonist insecticide that induces a premature and incomplete molt in susceptible species. Halofenozide is registered for use against immature stages of beetle pests (soil dwelling ‘‘white grubs’’). Halofenozide is registered for use on non-agricultural uses sites, including airports/landing fields, commercial/industrial lawns, golf course turf, ornamental lawns and turf, ornamental sod farm, recreation area lawns, and residential lawns. There are no registered food or agricultural uses. In a letter dated June 25, 2012, the technical registrant, Dow AgroSciences, requested EPA to cancel certain pesticide product registrations identified in Table 1 of this unit. Specifically, Dow AgroSciences requested cancellation of its nine halofenozide product registrations because they no longer manufacture or produce halofenozide products. On August 6, 2012, the other end-use registrant, Setre Chemical Company, also requested cancellation of its halofenozide end-use product. This action on the registrants’ requests will terminate the last halofenozide pesticide products registered in the United States.

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. 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, the EPA Administrator may approve such a request. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before October 26, 2012. This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. 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. The withdrawal request must also include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any applicable unsatisfied data requirements. V. 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 cancellation action. EPA’s existing stocks policy published in the Federal Register issue of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) provides that: ‘‘If a registrant requests to voluntarily cancel a registration where the Agency has identified no particular risk concerns, the registrant has complied with all applicable conditions of reregistration, conditional registration, and data call ins, and the registration is not subject to a Registration Standard, Label Improvement Program, or reregistration decision, the Agency will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:27 Sep 25, 2012 Jkt 226001 cancellation request was received. Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted.’’ Upon cancellation of the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates allowing sale, distribution and use as described in this unit. Exception to this general policy will be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a special review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.

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 canceled. 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, the EPA Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must 
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before October 26, 2012. This 
written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to 
the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. 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. The withdrawal request must also 
include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill 
any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

V. 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 
cancellation action. EPA's existing stocks policy published in the 
Federal Register issue of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) provides that: 
``If a registrant requests to voluntarily cancel a registration where 
the Agency has identified no particular risk concerns, the registrant 
has complied with all applicable conditions of reregistration, 
conditional registration, and data call ins, and the registration is 
not subject to a Registration Standard, Label Improvement Program, or 
reregistration decision, the Agency will generally permit a registrant 
to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after the cancellation 
request was received. Persons other than registrants will generally be 
allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks 
are exhausted.''
    Upon cancellation of the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit 
II., EPA anticipates allowing sale, distribution and use as described 
in this unit. Exception to this general policy will be made in specific 
cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of 
the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a 
special review action, or where the Agency has identified significant 
potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.
