ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: 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, Table 1A and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a March 5, 2019 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 March 5, 2019 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 received two comments on the notice, to remove their registrations from the cancellation order notice. The registrants for 4959–16, 4959–36 and 33753–31, requested via letter to withdraw their registrations from this notice. 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. DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective May 13, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In January 2018, the Office of Enforcement 
and Compliance Assurance issued an Interim Guidance document to help 
move the Agency toward a more collaborative partnership between EPA and 
states, with the expectation that the guidance would be later updated. 
The interim document may be viewed at https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2018-01/documents/guidance-enhancingregionalstatecommunicationoncompliance.pdf.
    The EPA is seeking comments on a policy that would replace that 
Interim Guidance and would set out expectations and procedures for 
enhancing planning and communication on civil enforcement work between 
the EPA and States that are implementing Federal environmental 
programs. While this policy is focused on the EPA's work with States 
that are approved to implement Federal programs, the EPA also is 
seeking comments on applying these planning and communication practices 
when working with federally-recognized Indian tribes, territories, and 
local governments that have received approval to implement Federal 
programs. This is an Agency planning document and would not impose any 
legally binding requirements on EPA or any outside parties.
    Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OECA-2019-
0204; at https://www.regulations.gov. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    The EPA will consider all timely-submitted public comments in 
determining whether and how to finalize this policy statement.
