B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD–ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.

(FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
a July 8, 2015 Federal Register Notice
of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II to
voluntarily cancel and/or amend these
product registrations. In the July 8, 2015
notice, EPA indicated that it would
issue an order implementing the
cancellations and/or amendments to
terminate uses, unless the Agency
received substantive comments within
the 30 day comment period that would
merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency
received comments on the notice but
none merited its further review of the
requests. Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their requests. Accordingly,
EPA hereby issues in this notice a
cancellation order granting the
requested cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the products
subject to this cancellation order is
permitted only in accordance with the
terms of this order, including any
existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations and/or
amendments are effective September 22,
2015.
SUMMARY:

in general, and may be of interest to a
wide range of stakeholders including
environmental, human health, and
agricultural advocates; the chemical

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period
provided, EPA received one comment
from a private citizen who is opposed to
the proposed cancellation of the indoor
crack and crevice use of propoxur. The
citizen disagrees with the Agency’s
methodology for assessing the risks from
propoxur exposure via the incidental
oral exposure pathway. The propoxur
risk assessment was conducted in
accordance with current EPA science
policies for assessing indoor crack and
crevice uses. That assessment identified
exposure and risk estimates that are of
concern for this exposure pathway for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:39 Sep 21, 2015
Jkt 235001
propoxur. As a result of these findings,
Wellmark International has requested to
voluntarily cancel these uses. The
Agency does not believe that the
comment submitted during the
comment period merits further review
or a denial of the request for the
amendment to terminate uses.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby approves
the requested cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses of the
registrations identified in Table 1 and 2
of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency
hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Table 1 and 2
of Unit II are canceled and/or amended
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to terminate the affected uses. The
effective date of the cancellations that
are the subject of this notice is
September 22, 2015. Any distribution,
sale, or use of existing stocks of the
products identified in Table 1 and 2 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 (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)) 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
E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM
22SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 183 / Tuesday, September 22, 2015 / Notices
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 of July 8, 2015 (80
FR 39100) (FRL–9928–54). The
comment period closed on August 7,
2015.
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 order are as
follows.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
A. For Products 352–522, 352–586, and
59639–109 Identified in Table 1 of Unit
II
The registrants reported to the Agency
via written correspondence that there
are no existing stocks of EPA
registration numbers 352–522, 352–586,
and 59639–109. Therefore, no existing
stocks provision was requested by or is
needed for these registrants. The
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing these products
upon cancellation of these products,
which will be September 22, 2015,
except for export consistent with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
Persons other than registrants will
generally be allowed to sell, distribute,
or use existing stocks of the affected
products 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 product.
B. For All Other Products Identified in
Table 1 of Unit II
For the other voluntary product
cancellations noted in Table 1 of Unit II,
the registrants will be permitted to sell
and distribute existing stocks of
voluntarily canceled products for 1 year
after the effective date of the
cancellation, which will be September
22, 2016. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:39 Sep 21, 2015
Jkt 235001
the affected canceled products 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 canceled products.
C. For All Products Identified in Table
2 of Unit II
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the amendments to
terminate uses for the products
identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
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 this cancellation
order, which will be March 22, 2017
unless other restrictions have been
imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the
terminated uses identified in Table 2 of
Unit II, 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
the products whose labels include the
terminated 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
products with the terminated uses.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received one comment
from a private citizen who is opposed to the proposed cancellation of
the indoor crack and crevice use of propoxur. The citizen disagrees
with the Agency's methodology for assessing the risks from propoxur
exposure via the incidental oral exposure pathway. The propoxur risk
assessment was conducted in accordance with current EPA science
policies for assessing indoor crack and crevice uses. That assessment
identified exposure and risk estimates that are of concern for this
exposure pathway for propoxur. As a result of these findings, Wellmark
International has requested to voluntarily cancel these uses. The
Agency does not believe that the comment submitted during the comment
period merits further review or a denial of the request for the
amendment to terminate uses.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate
uses of the registrations identified in Table 1 and 2 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 and 2 of Unit II are canceled and/or amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations
that are the subject of this notice is September 22, 2015. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Table 1 and 2 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 (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) 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
[[Page 57181]]
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 of July 8, 2015 (80 FR
39100) (FRL-9928-54). The comment period closed on August 7, 2015.
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 order are as follows.
A. For Products 352-522, 352-586, and 59639-109 Identified in Table 1
of Unit II
The registrants reported to the Agency via written correspondence
that there are no existing stocks of EPA registration numbers 352-522,
352-586, and 59639-109. Therefore, no existing stocks provision was
requested by or is needed for these registrants. The registrants will
be prohibited from selling or distributing these products upon
cancellation of these products, which will be September 22, 2015,
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or
for proper disposal.
Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks of the affected products 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 product.
B. For All Other Products Identified in Table 1 of Unit II
For the other voluntary product cancellations noted in Table 1 of
Unit II, the registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute
existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which will be September 22, 2016.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of the affected canceled products 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 canceled products.
C. For All Products Identified in Table 2 of Unit II
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the amendments to
terminate uses for the products identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
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 this cancellation order, which will
be March 22, 2017 unless other restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products whose labels include the terminated uses identified in
Table 2 of Unit II, 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 the products whose labels include the terminated
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 products with the
terminated uses.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
