Received and Agency Response to
Comments
IV. Cancellation Order
During the public comment period
provided, EPA received one comment.
The Agency does not believe that the

Jkt 229001
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations

Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders
that the product registrations identified

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
E:\FR\FM\25SEN1.SGM
25SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2013 / Notices
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
in the Federal Register issue of
February 22, 2013 (78 FR 12313) (FRL–
9378–7). The comment period closed on
August 21, 2013.

which were packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation action.
The existing stocks provisions for the
products subject to this cancellation
order are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell
and distribute existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
until September 25, 2014, which is 1

Register. Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.,
except for export in accordance with
FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrants may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
until existing 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.

With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
several registration reviews. Registration
review is EPA’s periodic review of
pesticide registrations to ensure that
each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
Agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. Through this
program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide’s registration is based on
current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment. This document
announces the Agency’s intent not to
open a registration review docket for
dithianon (case #7048) and
flufenoxuron (cast #7444). These cases
do not currently have actively registered
products and are not, therefore,
scheduled for review under the
registration review program.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before November 25, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments
identified by the docket identification
(ID) number for the specific pesticide of
interest provided in the table in Unit
III.A., by one of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation
order follows a February 22, 2013 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of
Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 22,
2013 Federal Register notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received
substantive comments within the 180 day comment period that would merit
its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency received one comment on the
February 22, 2013 Federal Register notice but it did not merit its
further review of the request. Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice,
a cancellation order, granting the requested cancellations. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this
cancellation order, including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective September 25, 2013.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received one
comment. The Agency does not believe that the comment submitted during
the comment period merits further review or a denial of the request for
voluntary cancellation.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the 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 the subject of this notice is September 25,
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
[[Page 59021]]
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 in the Federal Register issue of
February 22, 2013 (78 FR 12313) (FRL-9378-7). The comment period closed
on August 21, 2013.
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 existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this cancellation order are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until September 25, 2014,
which is 1 year after the publication of the cancellation order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from
selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., except
for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until
existing 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.
