Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested amendments to terminate uses.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the June 10, 2015 Federal Register notice announcing the 
Agency's receipt of the requests for amendments to terminate uses of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested amendments to terminate uses of clothianidin and 
chloroxylenol registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registrations 
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are hereby amended to terminate the 
affected uses. The effective date of the amendments to terminate 
affected uses is July 15, 2016. Any distribution, sale, or use of 
existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a 
manner inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of 
existing stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be considered 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 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 June 
10, 2015, (80 FR 32947) (FRL-9928-01). The comment period for 
chloroxylenol closed on July 10, 2015, and the comment period for 
clothianidin closed on January 6, 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.''

[[Page 46077]]

    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 
15, 2016. The cancellation order that is the subject of this notice 
includes the following existing stock provisions:
    The registrant may sell and distribute existing stocks of products 
listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until July 17, 2017. Persons other than 
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.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: July 7, 2016.

Acting Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
