Notice.
This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, pursuant
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,

cancellation order follows a February 4,
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 February 4,
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 180-day comment period that would
merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency
did not receive any comments on the
notice. Further, the registrant for 1007–
99, 1007–100 and 1007–1001 did
withdraw their requests to cancel these
product registrations; therefore, these
product registrations have been
removed from this notice. 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.

IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby approves

VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:55 Aug 24, 2020
Jkt 250001
the cancellations that are subject of this
notice is August 25, 2020. The effective
date of the cancellations in Table 1A is
June 30, 2023. Any distribution, sale, or
use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Tables 1, 1A and 2 of Unit
II in a manner inconsistent with any of

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 February 4, 2020
(85 FR 6166) (FRL–10004–11). The
comment period closed on August 3,

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.
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

E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM
25AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 25, 2020 / Notices
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 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 August 24, 2021,
which is 1 year after publication of this

Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing
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 the products listed in Table 2
of Unit II under the previously approved
labeling until February 25, 2022, 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 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
the 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.

the products identified in Tables 1, 1A 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
February 4, 2020 (85 FR 6166) (FRL-10004-11). The comment period closed
on August 3, 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.
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;
[[Page 52349]]
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 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 August 24, 2021, which
is 1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing 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 the products listed in Table 2 of Unit II under the
previously approved labeling until February 25, 2022, 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 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 the 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.
