SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The SAB was established
pursuant to the Environmental
Research, Development, and
Demonstration Authorization Act
(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to
provide independent scientific and
technical peer review, advice,
consultation, and recommendations to
the EPA Administrator on the technical
basis for Agency positions and
regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will
comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office
procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA
and EPA policy, notice is hereby given
that the SAB Economy-Wide Modeling

Center for Environmental Economics
and the Office of Air and Radiation on
economic analysis for air regulations at
the EPA. The Panel will provide advice
to the Administrator through the
chartered SAB.
This is the third face-to-face meeting.

Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s federal advisory committees and
panels has a different purpose from
public comment provided to the EPA
program offices. Therefore, the process
for submitting comments to a federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory
committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide
independent advice to the EPA.
Members of the public can submit
relevant comments on the topic of this
advisory activity, including the charge
to the panel and the EPA review
documents, and/or the group
conducting the activity, for the SAB to
consider during the advisory process.
Input from the public to the SAB will
have the most impact if it consists of
comments that provide specific
scientific or technical information or
analysis for the SAB panel to consider
or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy
of the technical information.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation will be limited to five
minutes per speaker for the face-to-face
meeting. Interested parties should
contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in
writing (preferably via email), at the
contact information noted above by May
16, 2017, to be placed on the list of
public speakers for the meeting.
Written Statements: Written
statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for
timely consideration by Committee/
Panel members, statements should be
supplied to the DFO (preferably via
email) at the contact information noted
above by May 16, 2017. It is the SAB
Staff Office general policy to post
written comments on the Web page for
the advisory meeting or teleconference.
Submitters are requested to provide an
unsigned version of each document
because the SAB Staff Office does not
publish documents with signatures on
PO 00000

its Web site. Members of the public
should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any
written comments, may be posted to the
SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will
not be posted without explicit
permission of the copyright holder.
Accessibility: To request
accommodation of a disability, please
contact Dr. Stallworth at 202–564–2073
or stallworth.holly@epa.gov. To request
accommodation of a disability please
contact Dr. Stallworth, preferably at
least ten days prior to the meeting, to
give the EPA as much time as possible
to process your request.

V. 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 cancellation action. If the requests
for voluntary cancellation are granted,
the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to
these requests for cancellation of
product registrations EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the
treatment of any existing stocks of the
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
For voluntary product cancellations,
registrants will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of voluntarily
canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which
will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
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.
Persons other than registrants will
generally be allowed to sell, distribute,
or use existing stocks until such stocks
are exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.

2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the

The registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II have not requested

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.
V. 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
cancellation action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation are
granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the
Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations EPA proposes to include the following
provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
For voluntary product cancellations, registrants will be permitted
to sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be
the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 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.
Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted,
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.
