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 Methiocarb, Lambda-Cyhalothrin,
Permethrin and Prodiamine product
registrants have requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period.
Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day
comment period on the proposed
requests.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation or use
deletion should submit the withdrawal
in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products(s) have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all
other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
VI. 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 requests for
amendments to delete uses are granted,
the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to
these requests for amendments to delete
uses, EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of
any existing stocks of the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit III.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants
will be permitted to sell or distribute
products under the previously approved
E:\FR\FM\29NON1.SGM
29NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Notices
labeling for a period of 18 months after
the date of Federal Register publication
of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited
from selling or distributing the products
whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products whose labels include the
deleted uses until supplies are
exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
deleted uses.

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 Methiocarb, Lambda-Cyhalothrin, Permethrin and Prodiamine
product registrants have requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
VI. 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 requests for amendments to delete uses are granted, the
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for amendments to
delete uses, EPA proposes to include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1 of
Unit III.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved
[[Page 71611]]
labeling for a period of 18 months after the date of Federal Register
publication of the cancellation order, unless other restrictions have
been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling
or distributing the products whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of products whose labels include the deleted uses until
supplies are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, or use
is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or
that accompanied, the deleted uses.
