effective date of the cancellation action.
The existing stocks provisions for the
products subject to this order are as
follows.
For products 100–1117, 100–1121,
100–1122, 100–1157, 100–1179, 100–
1182, 100–1212 and 100–1362 listed in
Table 1 of Unit II, the registrant has
requested the effective date of the
cancellations to be November 02, 2020;
therefore, the registrant will be
permitted to sell and distribute existing
stocks of this product until November
02, 2021. Thereafter, the registrant will
be prohibited from selling or

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In this document, the
International Bureau (Bureau) provides
notice to certain incumbent earth station
operators in the 3700–4200 MHz
frequency band of 90-day period to
submit affirmation of operational status
of identified earth station antennas to
avoid losing incumbent status or file to
remove identified antennas from IBFS if
no longer operational. Specifically, IB
provides the following notice to
operators of certain incumbent FSS Cband earth station antennas recently
reported to the Bureau by RSM US LLP
(RSM), the C-band Relocation
Coordinator, on behalf of incumbent Cband satellite operators: Failure to
submit a filing to the Bureau by no later
than 90 days after the release of the
Bureau’s Public Notice (i.e., by October
21, 2021) affirming the continued
operation of the earth station antennas
reported to the Bureau as inactive and
the intent to participate in the C-band
transition will result in a Bureau
announcement that those authorizations
identified as inactive in the Appendix
attached to the Bureau’s Public Notice
have automatically terminated by
operation of rule, and that those
authorizations will be terminated in
IBFS and removed from the incumbent
earth station list. According to RSM,
each antenna included in the Appendix
to the Bureau’s Public Notice was
reported by their earth station operator
to RSM or a satellite operator as no
longer receiving service from a C-band

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

document, DA 21–893, released July 23,

along with the Appendix identifying the
specific earth station antennas subject to
automatic termination, is available for

at www.fcc.gov/ecfs.
Background. Under the Commission’s
3.7 GHz Band Report and Order, RSM
is responsible for coordinating with the
five incumbent C-band satellite
operators—Eutelsat, Intelsat, SES,
StarOne, and Telesat—to ensure that all
incumbent earth stations are accounted
for in the transition.1 The overwhelming
majority of incumbent earth stations
have been claimed by the satellite
operator(s) from which they receive
service, included in their transition
plans to the Commission, and will be
transitioned to the upper 200 megahertz
of the band.2 In other cases, RSM, as the
C-band Relocation Coordinator, has
conducted outreach and research to
determine whether the earth station is
still active and, if so, from which
satellite(s) the earth station receives its
service.3 In the course of their outreach,
the satellite operators and RSM have
identified certain antennas as inactive.
The inactive status of some of these
antennas has been confirmed when the
relevant earth station operators filed
with the Bureau to close out those
antennas in IBFS. For the rest of these
inactive antennas, their earth station
operators reported to the satellite
operators (according to RSM) that these
antennas were no longer being used

Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2
GHz Band, Report and Order and Order of Proposed
Modification, 35 FCC Rcd 2343, 2391, paragraphs
116 through 123 (2020) (3.7 GHz Band Report and
Order).

(even though in these cases their earth
station operators failed to make the
requisite discontinuance filings with the
FCC in order to close out those antennas
in IBFS). RSM has advised the
Commission that it and the incumbent
satellite operators regularly share the
results of their respective outreach
efforts to better coordinate the transition
of incumbent earth stations.
On January 19, 2021, the Bureau
released a Public Notice that provided
notice to those incumbent earth station
operators that RSM reported in a
January 14, 2021 filing as inactive, that
such earth station operators had 90
days, until April 19, 2021, to respond in
the Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS) or their registrations would be
automatically terminated and they
would be removed from the incumbent
earth station list.4 The Public Notice
released on January 19, 2021 also
provided such 90-day notice to a small
group of ‘‘unresponsive’’ (or, in terms
used in the January 14 RSM filing from
which these operators were drawn,
‘‘unable to reach’’) incumbent earth
station operators about their antennas.
Such ‘‘unresponsive’’ stations were all
incumbent earth stations that (a) had not
been claimed by any of the five
incumbent C-band satellite operators
and, therefore, were not included in any
of the satellite operator Transition
Plans, and (b) had failed to respond to
any outreach efforts from the very
beginning of those efforts. The
registrations of earth stations that failed
to respond have been terminated in
IBFS and those registrations have been
removed from the incumbent earth
station list.5
On July 14, 2021, RSM submitted a
letter identifying an additional group of
individual earth station antennas as no
longer operational at the location
provided in the latest incumbent earth
station list, even though these antennas
continue to be listed in IBFS. The July
14 RSM filing, with its attachment, can
be found in ECFS. RSM explains that it
compiled this group of antennas—
which were not included in the Public
Notice released on January 19, 2021—
from affirmative representations made
to RSM or the satellite operators by the

June 17, 2021 (86 FR 32259) (FRL-10024-90), announcing the Agency's
receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of products listed
in Table 1 of Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are canceled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is August 27, 2021. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 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 June
17, 2021 (86 FR 32259) (FRL-10024-90). The comment period closed on
July 19, 2021.
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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows.
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II until August 29, 2022, which
is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from
selling or distributing products listed in Table 1, except for export
in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper
disposal. Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or
use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II
[[Page 48141]]
until existing stocks 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.
