IV. 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 cancelled 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 (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)(B)) 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) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C))
E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM
11APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2016 / Notices
requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for
voluntary cancellation or termination or
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
effects to the environment. The
flubendiamide registrant has requested
that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period for this action. Accordingly, EPA
is providing 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 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 request for voluntary
cancellation is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to this
request for cancellation of SYNAPSE
WG Insecticide and SYNAPSE 480
Insecticide, EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of
any existing stocks of the products
listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit III.
The registrant and distributors may
not sell or distribute existing stocks of
the product. Users with existing stocks
of the cancelled product can use the
product until supplies are exhausted,
provided that such use is consistent
with the terms of the previously
approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled product.
Thereafter, registrants and any
distributors of the product will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the product identified in Table 1 of Unit
III., except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal. Any additional
information will be set forth in a
cancellation order after the products
have been cancelled.

and 309(j) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,
154(i), 303, and 309(j), Section 102(C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4332(C),
and Section 1506.6 of the regulations of
the Council on Environmental Quality,

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the
Commission be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
This information collection contains
personally identifiable information on
individuals which is subject to the
Privacy Act of 1974. Information on the
FCC Form 854 is maintained in the
Commission’s System of Records, FCC/
WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing
Records.’’ These licensee records are
publicly available and routinely used in
accordance of subsection b of the
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), as
amended. Taxpayer Identification
Numbers (TINs) and materials that are
afforded confidential treatment
pursuant to a request made under 47
CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules
will not be available for public
inspection.
Needs and Uses: The purpose of FCC
Form 854 is to, among other things,
register antenna structures (radio
towers) that are used for communication
services regulated by the Commission
and make changes to existing antenna
structure registrations or pending
applications for registration. As
discussed below, the Commission
revised FCC Form 854 to implement
measures adopted in a Report and
Order, FCC 14–117, and sought Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for this revised information
collection.
The Commission revised this
information collection due to the
adoption of FCC 14–117, Report and
Order, which streamlined and
eliminated outdated provisions of the
Commission’s Part 17 rules governing
the construction, marking, and lighting
of antenna structures. The changes to
this collection are necessary to
implement two of the updates adopted
in the Report and Order. The first,
17.4(j), requires owners of certain
antenna structures to file FCC Form 854
with the Commission if there is any
change or correction in the overall
height of one foot or greater or
coordinates of one second or greater in
