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 March 9, 2005 (70 FR 11634) (FRL–
7701–3). The comment period closed on
September 6, 2005.
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 cancellation action.
The Federal Register Notice of March 9,
2005, proposed to allow without
limitation the distribution or sale of
existing stocks by non-registrants, as
well as the use of existing stocks.
However, over 8 years have now passed
since that notice was published and it
is EPA’s understanding that the
registrant has not produced the products
since that time. As a result, EPA
believes there is likely little if any
product remaining in the channels of

trade and believes what little there may
be of these old products should no
longer be put to use. Accordingly, the
cancellation order issued in this notice
includes the following existing stocks
provisions: The cancellation order
issued in this notice includes the
following existing stocks provisions.
The distribution, sale or use of
existing stocks will not be lawful under
FIFRA with the date of this cancellation
order except for the purpose of returns
and relabeling, shipping such stocks for
export consistent with the requirements
of section 17 of FIFRA, or for proper
disposal.

proposed de minimis administrative
settlement agreement and order on
consent pursuant to Section 122(g)(4)of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(4). The
settlement agreement includes
settlement of penalties under Section
104(e)(5) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9604(e)(5) under the authority of the
Attorney General of the United States to
compromise and settle claims of the

includes a covenant not to sue pursuant
to Sections 106, 107 and 104(e)(5) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, and
9604(e)(5) relating to the Site, subject to
limited reservations, and protection
from contribution actions or claims as
provided by Sections 113(f)(2) and
122(g)(5) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.
9613(f)(2) and 9622(g)(5). For thirty (30)
days following the date of publication of
this notice, EPA will receive written
comments relating to the settlement.
EPA will consider all comments
received and may modify or withdraw
its consent to the settlement if
comments received disclose facts or
considerations that indicate that the
proposed settlement is inappropriate,
improper, or inadequate. EPA’s
response to any comments received will
be available for public inspection at

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 March 9, 2005 Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency's receipt of the request for voluntary cancellations of products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of chlorpyrifos 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 canceled. The
effective date of the cancellations that are subject of this notice is
July 3, 2013. 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 March 9, 2005 (70 FR 11634) (FRL-7701-3). The comment period
closed on September 6, 2005.
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
cancellation action. The Federal Register Notice of March 9, 2005,
proposed to allow without limitation the distribution or sale of
existing stocks by non-registrants, as well as the use of existing
stocks. However, over 8 years have now passed since that notice was
published and it is EPA's understanding that the registrant has not
produced the products since that time. As a result, EPA believes there
is likely little if any product remaining in the channels of
[[Page 40140]]
trade and believes what little there may be of these old products
should no longer be put to use. Accordingly, the cancellation order
issued in this notice includes the following existing stocks
provisions: The cancellation order issued in this notice includes the
following existing stocks provisions.
The distribution, sale or use of existing stocks will not be lawful
under FIFRA with the date of this cancellation order except for the
purpose of returns and relabeling, shipping such stocks for export
consistent with the requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, or for proper
disposal.
