SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 4.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
40 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $2,788.
This includes an estimated burden cost
of $2,788 and an estimated cost of $0 for
capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is a decrease of 100 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
decrease reflects EPA’s expectation,
based on past experience, that
significantly fewer respondents will
apply for recognition as Champions or
Partners in the next three years. This
change is an adjustment.
IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

the pesticide product registrations
identified in Table 1 were TCVP pet
collar products that were never

IV. 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.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that before acting
on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public
comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C))
requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for
voluntary cancellation or termination of
any minor agricultural use before
granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of
the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines
that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment.
The TCVP registrant has requested
that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a
30-day comment period on the proposed
requests.

VI. 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 action. If the request for voluntary
cancellation is granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to this
request 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 III.
For this voluntary cancellation
request, the registrant indicates that the
products listed in Table 1 of Unit III are
not in the channels of trade because
they were never commercialized.
Therefore, no existing stocks provision
is needed. The cancellation will be
effective on the date of publication of
the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrant will
be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in
Table 1 of Unit III., except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

IV. 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.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The TCVP registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period
on the proposed requests.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product

that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the request for voluntary cancellation is granted, the
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
In any order issued in response to this request 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 III.
For this voluntary cancellation request, the registrant indicates
that the products listed in Table 1 of Unit III are not in the channels
of trade because they were never commercialized. Therefore, no existing
stocks provision is needed. The cancellation will be effective on the
date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
