Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY:
EPA uses PCA adjustment factors to
modify modeled concentrations of
pesticides in surface waters in
accordance with land cover types (i.e.,
crops) associated with a pesticide’s
uses. PCA-adjusted concentrations are
used as estimated drinking water
concentrations in human health risk
assessments. Previously, PCAs were
generated for Hydrologic Unit Code 8
(HUC–8) regions (part of a hierarchical
system for classifying and mapping
drainage areas in the United States). In
this current update, PCAs have been
generated for watersheds delineated
based on surface-source drinking water
intakes (DWI) of community water
systems (CWSs) across the United States
The new PCAs are an improvement
over previously calculated PCAs in
terms of their relevance to human health

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 Iprodione, Pendimethalin, and
Permethrin 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

COMMISSION
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for 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.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
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
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 Iprodione, Pendimethalin, and Permethrin 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 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 voluntary 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 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.
