amendments to terminate uses of
products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby approves
the requested cancellations and
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 amended
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:54 Feb 13, 2019
Jkt 247001
to terminate the affected uses. The
effective date of the cancellations that
are subject of this notice is February 14,
2019. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 October 17, 2018
(83 FR 52444) (FRL–9983–91). The
comment period closed on November
16, 2018.
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 provision for the products subject
to this order is as follows.
For voluntary cancellations, the
registrants may continue to sell and
distribute existing stocks of products
listed in Table 1 until February 14,
2020, which is 1 year after publication
E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM
14FEN1
4066
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 31 / Thursday, February 14, 2019 / Notices
of this cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
except for export in accordance with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Now that EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses,
registrants are permitted to sell or
distribute products listed in Table 2 of
Unit II under the previously approved
labeling until August 14, 2020, a period
of 18 months after publication of the
cancellation order in this Federal
Register, unless other restrictions have
been imposed. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated 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
canceled products and products whose
labels include the terminated uses 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 canceled products
and terminated uses.

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations
and Amendments To Terminate Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1 and Table
2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an October 17,
2018 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel and
amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the October
17, 2018 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses, unless
the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment
period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless
the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
order granting the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate
uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of
this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
[[Page 4064]]
DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective February 14,
2019.

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 October 17, 2018 Federal Register notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and
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 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 amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations
that are subject of this notice is February 14, 2019. 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
October 17, 2018 (83 FR 52444) (FRL-9983-91). The comment period closed
on November 16, 2018.
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 provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
For voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell
and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until
February 14, 2020, which is 1 year after publication
[[Page 4066]]
of this cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the
registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products listed
in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II under the previously
approved labeling until August 14, 2020, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated 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 canceled products and products whose labels include
the terminated uses 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 canceled
products and terminated uses.
