III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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.
FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(B) (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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:38 Jul 29, 2020
Jkt 250001
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 requested that EPA waive
the 180-day comment period.
Accordingly, EPA is providing a 30-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

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
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.
For Product 56228–32
For product 56228–32, listed in Table
1A 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 the
voluntarily canceled product 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 the product, 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
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the canceled products
and terminated uses.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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.
FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(B) (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 requested that
EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA is providing a
30-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
[[Page 45880]]
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.
For Product 56228-32
For product 56228-32, listed in Table 1A 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 the voluntarily canceled product 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 the
product, 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 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.
