Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 97 / Monday, May 20, 2019 / Notices
I. General Information
II. What action is the Agency taking?
A. Does this action apply to me?
Under section 18 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the
discretion of the EPA Administrator, a
Federal or State agency may be
exempted from any provision of FIFRA
if the EPA Administrator determines
that emergency conditions exist which
require the exemption. The WSDA has
requested the EPA Administrator to
issue a specific exemption for the use of
lambda-cyhalothrin on asparagus to
control the European asparagus aphid.
Information in accordance with 40 CFR
part 166 was submitted as part of this
request.
As part of this request, the applicant
asserts that the cancellation of the
previously relied-upon tool, disulfoton,
left asparagus growers in the state of
Washington with no adequate
alternatives to control the European
asparagus aphid, and significant
economic losses will occur without
sufficient control. The Applicant
proposes to make no more than 3
applications at a maximum rate of 0.03
pound (lb.) (total of 0.09 lb.) per acre of
lambda-cyhalothrin on up to 7,000 acres
of asparagus grown in the state of
Washington from June 15 to October 30,
2019. Treatment of the maximum
acreage at the maximum rate would
result in a total use of lambdacyhalothrin of 630 lbs.
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. The regulations governing FIFRA
section 18 at 40 CFR 166.24(a)(7),
require publication of a notice of receipt
of an application for a specific
exemption proposing a use which is
supported by the IR–4 program and has
been requested in 5 or more previous
years, and a petition for tolerance has
not yet been submitted to the Agency.
The notice provides an opportunity for
public comment on the application. The
Agency will review and consider all
comments received during the comment
period in determining whether to issue
the specific exemption requested by the
WSDA.
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are an agricultural
producer, food manufacturer, or
pesticide manufacturer. The following
list of North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) codes is
not intended to be exhaustive, but rather
provides a guide to help readers
determine whether this document
applies to them. Potentially affected
entities may include:
• Crop production (NAICS code 111).
• Animal production (NAICS code
112).
• Food manufacturing (NAICS code
311).
• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS
code 32532).

B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly
mark the part or all of the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
commenting-epa-dockets.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.

order for the cancellations, voluntarily
requested by the registrants and
accepted by the Agency, of the products

This cancellation order follows a
March 25, 2019 Federal Register Notice
of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II,

Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their requests. Accordingly,
EPA hereby issues in this notice a

subject to this cancellation order is
permitted only in accordance with the

existing stocks provisions.

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received two anonymous

the requested cancellations of the

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

registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more uses. FIFRA
further provides that, before acting on

Administrator may approve such a
request. The notice of receipt for this
action was published for comment in
the Federal Register of March 25, 2019
(84 FR 11087) (FRL–9990–87). The

notice is May 20, 2019. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 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 March
25, 2019 (84 FR 11087) (FRL-9990-87). The comment period closed on
April 24, 2019.
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
cancellation action.
[[Page 22843]]
The existing stocks provisions for the products subject to this order
are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until May 20, 2020, which is
1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing products listed in Table 1, except for export in
accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until
existing 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.
