This notice announces EPA’s
final order for the amendments to
terminate uses, voluntarily requested by
the registrants and accepted by the
Agency, of the products listed in Table
1, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
a June 10, 2015 Federal Register Notice
of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 to amend
uses of these product registrations.
These are not the last products
containing these pesticides registered
for use in the United States. In the June
10, 2015 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the
amendments to terminate uses, unless
the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30 and 180 day
comment periods that would merit its
further review of these requests, or
unless the registrants withdrew their
requests. The Agency did not receive
any comments on the notice. Further,
the registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested 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.
SUMMARY:
The cancellations are effective
July 15, 2016.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
EPA's existing stocks policy published in the Federal Register of
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) provides that: ``If a registrant requests
to voluntarily cancel a registration where the Agency has identified no
particular risk concerns, the registrant has complied with all
applicable conditions of reregistration, conditional registration, and
data call ins, and the registration is not subject to a Registration
Standard, Label Improvement Program, or reregistration decision, the
Agency will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute
existing stocks for 1 year after the cancellation request was received.
Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted.''

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 effective date of this cancellation is July

The registrant may sell and distribute existing stocks of products

the registrant may sell and distribute existing stocks of products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until exhausted. Use of the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II. may continue until existing stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products.
