iii. Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. What action is the agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by the

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.,

EPA will provide a 180-day comment
period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing
a notice of receipt of requests by
registrants to voluntarily cancel certain
pesticide registrations. EPA intends to
grant these requests 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 requests, or unless the registrants
withdraw its requests. If these requests
are granted, any sale, distribution, or
use of products listed in this notice will
be permitted after the registration has
been cancelled only if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms as described in the final order.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 12, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by docket identification (ID)
number EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–1017, by
one of the following methods:

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute.

Protection Agency Docket Center (EPA/
DC), (28221T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.
NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001.
Submit written withdrawal request by
mail to: Pesticide Re-Evaluation

Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation should submit

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 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.

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
[[Page 35268]]
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 not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180-
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 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.
