Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 152 / Thursday, August 6, 2020 / Notices
Chem-Tech to cancel certain products or
terminate certain uses of TCVP product
registrations. TCVP is an
organophosphate insecticide used to
control fleas, ticks, various flies, lice,
and insect larvae on livestock and
domestic animals and their premises. In
letters dated June 19, 2020 and July 10,
2020, Chem-Tech and Hartz,
respectively, requested EPA to either
cancel or amend registrations for certain
pet use products containing TCVP.
These pet products and their impending
actions are identified in Tables 1 and 2
of Unit IV. These actions on the
registrants’ requests will not terminate
the last TCVP products registered in the
United States, or the last TCVP pesticide
products registered in the United States
for these uses.
IV. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of requests from registrants to cancel
certain registrations or terminate certain
uses of TCVP product registrations. The
affected products and the registrants
making the requests are identified in
Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
Unless the Agency determines that
there are substantive comments that
warrant further review of this request,
EPA intends to issue an order canceling
or terminating uses from the affected
registrations.

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.
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))
provides for the possibility of a 180-day
comment period where a voluntary
cancellation involves a pesticide
registered for at least one minor
agricultural use.
Because the TCVP pet uses here do
not involve any minor agricultural uses,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:13 Aug 05, 2020
Jkt 250001
the 180-day comment provision does
not apply, and EPA is providing a 30day comment period on the requests.
VI. 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 termination of 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
termination of uses, EPA anticipates it
will include the following provisions for
the treatment of any existing stocks of
the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
Unit IV:
Hartz may not ‘‘release for shipment,’’
as that term is defined by 40 CFR 152.3,
any product under EPA Reg. Nos. 2596–
PO 00000
Frm 00064

78 and 2596–79 (dust products) after
July 31, 2020, or as soon as EPA issues
an order on the request following the
public comment period announced in
this Notice, and may not sell or
distribute existing stocks of its dust
products after March 31, 2021, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal. Hartz may sell or distribute
existing stocks of EPA Reg. No. 2596–63
(cat collar) until exhausted.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
termination of uses pertaining to EPA
Reg. No. 47000–123, registrants will be
permitted to sell or distribute products
under the previously approved labeling,
if appropriate, according to the terms of
the label approval. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the products
whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 1 of Unit IV., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 or for proper disposal.

Tetrachlorvinphos; Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily
Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations and Amend Registrations To
Terminate Certain Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain
products containing the pesticide tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), or to amend
their TCVP product registrations to terminate or delete one or more
uses. The requests would terminate TCVP use of Chem-Tech, Ltd. (Chem-
Tech) dust formulations on cats and dogs, voluntarily cancel TCVP dust
formulations produced by The Hartz Mountain Corporation (Hartz) for
domestic animals (cats and dogs) and cancel one of Hartz's pet collars
for cats. The requests would not terminate the last TCVP products
registered for use in the United States, or the last TCVP pesticide
products registered in the United States for these uses. EPA intends to
grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this
announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the
comment period that would merit its further review of the requests. If
these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products
listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have
been canceled or uses terminated only if such sale, distribution, or
use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
There are two registrants for TCVP products registered for use on
cats and dogs, Hartz and Chem-Tech. The registrants have submitted
requests for voluntary cancelations or use terminations.
II. 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 and
human health 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.
III. Background on the Receipt of Requests To Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations To Delete Uses
This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
Hartz and
[[Page 47792]]
Chem-Tech to cancel certain products or terminate certain uses of TCVP
product registrations. TCVP is an organophosphate insecticide used to
control fleas, ticks, various flies, lice, and insect larvae on
livestock and domestic animals and their premises. In letters dated
June 19, 2020 and July 10, 2020, Chem-Tech and Hartz, respectively,
requested EPA to either cancel or amend registrations for certain pet
use products containing TCVP. These pet products and their impending
actions are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit IV. These actions on
the registrants' requests will not terminate the last TCVP products
registered in the United States, or the last TCVP pesticide products
registered in the United States for these uses.
IV. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel certain registrations or terminate certain uses of TCVP
product registrations. The affected products and the registrants making
the requests are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments
that warrant further review of this request, EPA intends to issue an
order canceling or terminating uses from the affected registrations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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)) provides for the possibility of a 180-day
comment period where a voluntary cancellation involves a pesticide
registered for at least one minor agricultural use.
Because the TCVP pet uses here do not involve any minor
agricultural uses, the 180-day comment provision does not apply, and
EPA is providing a 30-day comment period on the requests.
VI. 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 termination of
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 termination of uses, EPA anticipates
it will include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit IV:
Hartz may not ``release for shipment,'' as that term is defined by
40 CFR 152.3, any product under EPA Reg. Nos. 2596-78 and 2596-79 (dust
