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. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this action, identified by docket identification 
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0466, is available at https://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory 
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency 
Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 
1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001.
    Due to the public health concerns related to COVID-19, the EPA 
Docket Center (EPA/DC) and Reading Room is closed to visitors with 
limited exceptions. The staff continues to provide remote customer 
service via email, phone, and webform. For the latest status 
information on EPA/DC services and docket access, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.

II. What Does this Amendment Do?

    This notice is being issued to amend the effective date of 
cancellation for the two spirodiclofen registrations listed in Table 1B 
of the cancellation order published in the Federal Register on April 
13, 2018 (83 FR 16076) (FRL-9975-97). The April 13, 2018 Federal 
Register Notice corrected an earlier cancellation order that was 
published in December 26, 2017 (80 FR 60985) (FRL-9971-10). After 
issuance of the cancellation order correction notice, a different 
company committed to develop required data and requested an extension 
of the effective date of cancellation for these products, with the 
intention of maintaining these spirodiclofen registrations. Bayer 
CropScience, the current registrant for the spirodiclofen products 
listed in Table 1B of the cancellation order, submitted a letter 
supporting the requested extension. Based on letters received from the 
California Walnut Commission (October 12, 2020) and the California 
Citrus Quality Council (October 16, 2020), spirodiclofen is an 
important control option for plant-feeding mites in these crops, where 
miticide resistance is a possibility and where spirodiclofen has 
continued to be a component of integrated pest management. With this 
Notice, the effective date for cancellation of EPA Registration No. 
264-830 and 264-831 is established as December 31, 2021. Consistent 
with the previous order, the registrant would be prohibited from 
producing, selling, or distributing existing stocks of products 
containing spirodiclofen following the cancellation effective date. 
Other entities would be permitted to sell, distribute, and use stocks 
of spirodiclofen until stocks are exhausted. The cancellation of these 
two registrations would terminate the last spirodiclofen products 
registered for use in the United States.
