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.
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 2 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

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 Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates
allowing registrants to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these
products (except for registration no.
066330–00037 and 066330–00047) for 1
year after publication of the
Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing

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.
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 2 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 Table 1 of Unit II., EPA
anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks
of these products (except for registration no. 066330-00037 and 066330-
00047) 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 canceled products.
A. Registration No. 066330-00037
The continued sale and distribution of existing stocks of this
product will be allowed through December 1, 2012. Additionally, the use
of existing stocks of this product will be allowed until those existing
stocks are exhausted.
B. Registration No. 066330-00047
The continued sale and distribution of existing stocks of this
product will be allowed through December 1, 2012. Additionally, the use
of existing stocks of this product will be allowed until those existing
stocks are exhausted.
