SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On March 6, 2017, the South Carolina
Department of Health and
Environmental Control (SCDHEC)
submitted an application titled
Compliance Monitoring Data Portal
(CMDP) for revision to its EPA-approved
drinking water program under title 40
CFR to allow new electronic reporting.
EPA reviewed SCDHEC’s request to
revise its EPA-authorized program and,
based on this review, EPA determined
that the application met the standards
for approval of authorized program
revision set out in 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision
to approve South Carolina’s request to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
revise its Part 142—National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation program to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR part
141 is being published in the Federal
Register.
SCDHEC was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.
Also, in today’s notice, EPA is
informing interested persons that they
may request a public hearing on EPA’s
action to approve the State of South
Carolina’s request to revise its
authorized public water system program
under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance
with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a
hearing must be submitted to EPA
within 30 days of publication of today’s
Federal Register notice. Such requests
should include the following
information:
(1) The name, address and telephone
number of the individual, organization
or other entity requesting a hearing;
(2) A brief statement of the requesting
person’s interest in EPA’s
determination, a brief explanation as to
why EPA should hold a hearing, and
any other information that the
requesting person wants EPA to
consider when determining whether to
grant the request;
(3) The signature of the individual
making the request, or, if the request is
made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a
responsible official of the organization
or other entity.
In the event a hearing is requested
and granted, EPA will provide notice of
the hearing in the Federal Register not
less than 15 days prior to the scheduled
hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for hearing may be denied by
EPA. Following such a public hearing,
EPA will review the record of the
hearing and issue an order either
affirming today’s determination or
rescinding such determination. If no
timely request for a hearing is received
and granted, EPA’s approval of the State
of South Carolina’s request to revise its
part 142—National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations Implementation
program to allow electronic reporting
will become effective 30 days after
today’s notice is published, pursuant to
CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).

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 November 22, 2016 Federal Register notice announcing
the
[[Page 17255]]
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate
uses of the registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. are canceled and/or amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the propoxur product
cancellations that are subject to this notice is December 31, 2017. The
effective date of the remaining cancellations that are subject to this
notice is April 10, 2017. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Tables 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 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
November 22, 2016 (81 FR 83833) (FRL-9954-80). The comment period
closed on December 22, 2016.
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
action. The existing stocks provisions for the products subject to this
order are as follows:
A. For Propoxur Products 279-3395, 3862-135, 6218-24, 11556-33, 89459-
28, 89459-39 Identified in Table 1 of Unit II.
At the request of the registrant FMC Corporation, the effective
product cancelation date for the propoxur products listed in Table 1 of
Unit II. is December 31, 2017. The registrants may continue to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the propoxur products listed in Table 1
of Unit II. until December 31, 2017. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the propoxur 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 cancelled 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 cancelled products.
B. For All Other Products Identified in Table 1 and 2 of Unit II.
For all other voluntary product cancellations noted, the
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until April 10, 2018, which is 1
year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants are 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.
In the case of products for which there are requested amendments to
terminate uses, once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the
requested amendments to terminate uses, the registrant 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, the registrant will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the products whose labels include the deleted
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 affected cancelled products/products under the
previously approved labeling 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 cancelled
products/products under the previously approved labeling.
