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 20:02 Apr 07, 2017 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.

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

    Dated: March 9, 2017.
