Agency’s determination whether a
pesticide meets, or does not meet, the
standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA
has considered tralomethrin and
fenarimol in light of the FIFRA standard
for registration. The tralomethrin and
fenarimol final decision documents in
the docket describe the Agency’s
rationale for issuing a registration
review final decision for these
pesticides.
In addition to the final registration
review decision documents, the
registration review docket for
tralomethrin and fenarimol also
includes other relevant documents
related to the registration review of
these cases. The proposed registration
review decisions were posted to the
docket and the public was invited to
submit any comments or new
information. During the 60-day
comment period, no public comments
were received. Pursuant to 40 CFR
155.58(c), the registration review case
docket for tralomethrin and fenarimol
will remain open until all actions
required in the final decision have been
completed.
Background on the registration review
program is provided at: https://

AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing
a notice of receipt of a request by the
registrant to voluntarily cancel the
registrations of products containing the
pesticide iodomethane. In addition, the
registrant has amended the terms and
conditions of registration for their
iodomethane technical product so that
as of January 1, 2013, Arysta LifeScience
North America, LLC (Arysta) will not
sell or distribute this product unless it
bears a label statement. The registrant’s
request would terminate the last
iodomethane products registered for use
in the United States. EPA intends to
grant this request 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 request. If EPA issues a final order
granting this request, the sale,
distribution, or use of the products
listed in this notice will be permitted
only in accordance with the terms as
described in the final order.

II. Background on the Receipt of
Requests To Cancel
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of a request from Arysta to cancel all of
its iodomethane product registrations.
Iodomethane is a pre-plant soil fumigant
used to control pests in soil where
fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants,
and turf will be grown. In a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA),
Arysta and EPA agreed to cancel and
amend the pesticide product
registrations identified in Tables 1 and
2 of Unit III. Specifically, the MOA
contains Arysta’s irrevocable request
that its end-use products, EPA
Registration Numbers 66330–43, 66330–
57, 66330–58, 66330–59, and 66330–60,
will be canceled effective December 31,
2012, and that its iodomethane
technical product, EPA Registration
Number 66330–44 will be canceled
effective December 1, 2015. The MOA
also adds a condition of registration to
the technical product’s registration that
as of January 1, 2013, Arysta will not
sell or distribute this product unless its
label bears the following statement:
It is unlawful to use this product for any
purpose in the United States, except for
formulation of products intended for export
consistent with the requirements of FIFRA
section 17.
(The request for amendment is
conditioned on the issuance of a
cancellation order including the
requested effective dates and existing
stocks provisions.) Granting the
registrant’s cancellation request would
terminate the last iodomethane products
registered in the United States.
III. What action is the agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of the request to cancel the iodomethane
product registrations described in Unit
II. The affected products and the
registrant making the requests are
identified in Tables 1–3 of this unit.
Unless the Agency receives
substantive comments in response to
this notice that warrant further review
of this request, EPA intends to issue an
order canceling the affected registrations
on the requested effective dates.

IV. 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:56 Nov 20, 2012
Jkt 229001
Company
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 iodomethane registrant has
requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. Accordingly, EPA will
provide a 30-day comment period on
the proposed requests.
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
PO 00000

Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC.
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the action. If the request for voluntary
cancellation is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register. EPA
intends to include in any such final
order the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
product(s) listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
Unit III.
In any final order granting Arysta’s
request for voluntary cancellation of its
iodomethane technical/manufacturinguse product registration, as of the
effective date of the cancellation order,
all sale and distribution of existing
stocks of Arysta’s iodomethane
technical/manufacturing-use product by
Arysta shall be prohibited unless the
sale or distribution is for proper
disposal or is solely for purposes of
export consistent with the requirements
of section 17 of FIFRA. In any final
order granting Arysta’s request for
voluntary cancellation of end-use
product registrations:
1. As of the effective date of the
cancellation order, Arysta is prohibited
from distributing or selling existing
stocks of end-use products, unless the
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM

sale or distribution is for proper
disposal, or is solely for export
consistent with the requirements of
FIFRA section 17;
2. As of the effective date of the
cancellation order, persons other than
Arysta are prohibited from distributing
or selling existing stocks of Arysta’s
end-use products, unless the sale or
distribution is for proper disposal,
return to Arysta, or is intended solely
for export consistent with the
requirements of FIFRA section 17; and
3. As of the effective date of the
cancellation order, no person may use
any existing stocks of any of Arysta’s
end-use products.

IV. 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.
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 iodomethane registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period
on the proposed requests.
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
action. If the request for voluntary cancellation is granted, the
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. EPA intends to include in any such final order the following
provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the product(s)
listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit III.
In any final order granting Arysta's request for voluntary
cancellation of its iodomethane technical/manufacturing-use product
registration, as of the effective date of the cancellation order, all
sale and distribution of existing stocks of Arysta's iodomethane
technical/manufacturing-use product by Arysta shall be prohibited
unless the sale or distribution is for proper disposal or is solely for
purposes of export consistent with the requirements of section 17 of
FIFRA. In any final order granting Arysta's request for voluntary
cancellation of end-use product registrations:
1. As of the effective date of the cancellation order, Arysta is
prohibited from distributing or selling existing stocks of end-use
products, unless the
[[Page 69842]]
sale or distribution is for proper disposal, or is solely for export
consistent with the requirements of FIFRA section 17;
2. As of the effective date of the cancellation order, persons
other than Arysta are prohibited from distributing or selling existing
stocks of Arysta's end-use products, unless the sale or distribution is
for proper disposal, return to Arysta, or is intended solely for export
consistent with the requirements of FIFRA section 17; and
3. As of the effective date of the cancellation order, no person
may use any existing stocks of any of Arysta's end-use products.
