Cancellation Order for Certain
Pesticide Registrations and
Amendments To Terminate Uses
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,
Table 1B and Table 2 of Unit II,
pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
an April 17, 2020 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 April 17, 2020
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 5 public comments on the
notice, but they did not merit its further
review of the requests. 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.
DATES: The cancellations and
amendments are effective June 17, 2020.

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period
provided, EPA received five public
comments; four of them are anonymous,
in response to the April 17, 2020
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, 1A, 1B and
2 of Unit II. The Agency does not
believe that the comments submitted
during the comment period merit
further review or a denial of the requests
for voluntary cancellation and use
termination.
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, 1A,
1B, and 2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the
Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1, 1A,
1B, and 2 of Unit II are canceled and
amended to terminate the affected uses.
The effective date of the cancellations
and amendments listed in Table 1 and
Table 2 that are subject of this notice is
June 17, 2020. The effective date of the
cancellation listed in Table 1A that is
subject of this notice is December 31,
2020. The effective date of the
cancellations listed in Table 1B that are
subject of this notice is December 31,
2019. Any distribution, sale, or use of
existing stocks of the products
identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 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 Apr 17, 2020 (85
FR 21428) (FRL–10007–07). The
comment period closed on May 18,
2020.

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.
A. For Product 10324–66
For product 10324–66, listed in Table
1 of Unit II, the registrant has requested
18-months to sell existing stocks. The
registrant will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the product
for 18-months after the effective date of
the cancellation, which will be the date
of publication of the cancellation order
in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the
registrant will be prohibited from selling
or distributing the product, except for
export consistent with FIFRA section 17
(7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
B. For Product 432–893
For product 432–893, listed in Table
1A of Unit II, the registrant has
requested the cancellation date to be
December 31, 2020; therefore, the
registrant will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the
voluntarily canceled product for 1 year
after the effective date of the
cancellation, which will be until
December 31, 2021. Thereafter, the
registrant will be prohibited from selling
or distributing the product, except for
export consistent with FIFRA section 17
(7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
C. For Products CA–040026, CA–
080009, CA–080010, CA–080011 & CA–
080012
For products CA–040026, CA–080009,
CA–080010, CA–080011 & CA–080012,
listed in Table 1B of Unit II, the
registrant has requested the cancellation
date to be December 31, 2019; therefore,
the registrant 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 until
December 31, 2020. Thereafter, the
registrant 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.
For all other voluntary cancellations,
identified in Table 1 of Unit II, the
registrants may continue to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the products
listed in Table 1 until June 17, 2021,
which is 1 year after publication of this
cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are

prohibited from selling or distributing
the 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 December 17, 2021, a
period of 18 months after publication of

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, Table
1A, Table 1B and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation
order follows an April 17, 2020 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 April 17, 2020 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 5 public comments on the notice, but they did not merit its
further review of the requests. 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.
DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective June 17, 2020.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received five public
comments; four of them are anonymous, in response to the April 17, 2020
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, 1A, 1B and 2 of Unit II. The Agency does
not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period merit
further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary cancellation
and use termination.
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, 1A, 1B, and 2 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, and 2 of Unit II are canceled and
amended to terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the
cancellations and amendments listed in Table 1 and Table 2 that are
subject of this notice is June 17, 2020. The effective date of the
cancellation listed in Table 1A that is subject of this notice is
December 31, 2020. The effective date of the cancellations listed in
Table 1B that are subject of this notice is December 31, 2019. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 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 Apr
17, 2020 (85 FR 21428) (FRL-10007-07). The comment period closed on May
18, 2020.
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.
A. For Product 10324-66
For product 10324-66, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant
has requested 18-months to sell existing stocks. The registrant will be
permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks of the product for 18-
months after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be the
date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, the registrant will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the product, except for export consistent with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
B. For Product 432-893
For product 432-893, listed in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant
has requested the cancellation date to be December 31, 2020; therefore,
the registrant will be permitted to sell and distribute existing stocks
of the voluntarily canceled product for 1 year after the effective date
of the cancellation, which will be until December 31, 2021. Thereafter,
the registrant will be prohibited from selling or distributing the
product, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C.
136o) or for proper disposal.
C. For Products CA-040026, CA-080009, CA-080010, CA-080011 & CA-080012
For products CA-040026, CA-080009, CA-080010, CA-080011 & CA-
080012, listed in Table 1B of Unit II, the registrant has requested the
cancellation date to be December 31, 2019; therefore, the registrant
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 until December 31, 2020. Thereafter, the
registrant 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.
For all other voluntary cancellations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing
stocks of the products listed in Table 1 until June 17, 2021, which is
1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing the 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 December 17, 2021, 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 use 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.
