The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets
describe EPA’s rationales for conducting
additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides
included in the tables in Unit IV, as well
as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings
and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed
interim registration review decisions are
supported by the rationales included in
those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in Unit IV.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed interim registration review
decisions. This comment period is
intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to
the proposed interim decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included
in the Tables in Unit IV. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.

III. 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 registrants listed in Table 3 of
Unit II have not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period.
Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180day comment period on the proposed
requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation or use
termination should submit the
withdrawal in writing to the person
VerDate Sep<11>2014

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
If the products have been
subject to a previous cancellation or
termination action, the effective date of
cancellation or termination and all other
provisions of any earlier cancellation or
termination action are controlling.
CONTACT.
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 action. If the requests for voluntary
cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses 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 and for
amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following
provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in
Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit II.
A. For Products 1007–99, 1007–100 &
1007–101
For products 1007–99, 1007–100 &
1007–101, listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
the registrants have requested to sell
existing stocks until May 31, 2021.
Registrants will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these
products until May 31, 2021. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing these products,
except for export consistent with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.

B. For Products 432–1360, 432–1367,
432–1445, 432–1446 & 432–1513
For the products 432–1360, 432–1367,
432–1445, 432–1446 & 432–1513 listed
in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant has
requested the effective date of the
cancellations to be June 30, 2023;
therefore, registrants will be permitted
to sell and distribute existing stocks of
these products until June 30, 2024.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited
from selling or distributing the products
in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
For all other voluntary product
cancellations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, 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 all other 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.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses,
identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously
approved labeling for a period of 18months after the date of Federal
Register publication of the cancellation
order, unless other restrictions have
been imposed. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified
E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM
04FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 23 / Tuesday, February 4, 2020 / Notices
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
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/comments.html.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel certain pesticide products and amend product registrations to
terminate certain uses registered under FIFRA section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a)
or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). The affected products and the registrants
making the requests are identified in Tables 1-3 of this unit.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant or if the Agency
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further
review of this request, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal
Register canceling and amending the affected registrations.

III. 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 registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II have not requested
that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will
provide a 180-day comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination should submit the withdrawal in writing
to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products have been subject to a previous cancellation or termination
action, the effective date of cancellation or termination and all other
provisions of any earlier cancellation or termination 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
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses 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 and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit
II.
A. For Products 1007-99, 1007-100 & 1007-101
For products 1007-99, 1007-100 & 1007-101, listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, the registrants have requested to sell existing stocks until
May 31, 2021. Registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute
existing stocks of these products until May 31, 2021. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing these
products, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C.
136o) or for proper disposal.
B. For Products 432-1360, 432-1367, 432-1445, 432-1446 & 432-1513
For the products 432-1360, 432-1367, 432-1445, 432-1446 & 432-1513
listed in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant has requested the
effective date of the cancellations to be June 30, 2023; therefore,
registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of
these products until June 30, 2024. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products in Table 1A of
Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C.
136o) or for proper disposal.
For all other voluntary product cancellations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II, 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
all other 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.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
registrants will be permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling for a period of 18-months after the date
of Federal Register publication of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified
[[Page 6169]]
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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
