burden since the existing ICR was
approved by OMB. Instead, this ICR
relies on previous estimates and
assumes the numbers have largely
remained steady over the past 3 years.
In addition, OMB has requested that
EPA move towards using the 18question format for ICR Supporting
Statements used by other federal
agencies and departments and is based
on the submission instructions
established by OMB in 1995, replacing
the alternate format developed by EPA
and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency
does not expect this change in format to
result in substantive changes to the
information collection activities or
related estimated burden and costs.
IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the person listed

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, of the
products listed in Table 1, Table 1A and
Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This
cancellation order follows an October
25, 2021, 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 October 25, 2021,
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 30-day comment period that would
merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency
received two comments on the notice;
one general comment concerning
pesticides in general that did not
directly apply to this notice, so no
action or response was needed and the
second merited its further review of the
requests. Further, the registrants did not
withdraw their requests. 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.
SUMMARY:
The cancellations and
amendments are effective March 1,
2022.

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received two comments
on the notice, one general comment
concerning pesticides in general that
did not directly apply to this notice, so
no action or response was needed, and
the Agency does not believe the
comment merits further review and the
second comment merited its further
review of the request. The second
comment and the response from the
Agency is below.
A. Comment
The Federal Register notice and
docket provide inadequate information
about how voluntary cancellation of
Gramoxone SL 2.0 will conform to
EPA’s interim registration review
decision for paraquat dichloride.
Specifically, it is unclear whether
existing stocks of Gramoxone SL 2.0
sold or distributed between March 30,
2022, and March 30, 2023, will bear a
label that includes the additional
restrictions on use set forth in EPA’s
interim decision. It would be
inappropriate for EPA to approve any
existing stocks provision that allows
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:01 Feb 28, 2022
Jkt 256001
B. Response
The existing stocks provision for the
voluntary cancellation of Gramoxone SL
2.0 is roughly consistent with the phaseout of existing labeling (and use of new
labeling) that will occur in response to
the Agency’s interim decision for
paraquat. The existing stocks provision
for Gramoxone SL 2.0 permits the
registrant to sell and distribute existing
stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for one year after the effective date of
the cancellation, which will be March
30, 2023. Updated paraquat labels
containing the additional restrictions
from the interim decision are expected
to be approved and stamped by the end
of the 2022 calendar year. After the label
approval, the registrants of the affected
products must begin using the new
labeling within 12 months of the label
stamp date, roughly around the end of
the 2023 calendar year.
Given that the interim decision
labeling will not be in full effect until
2023, the continued sale and use of
Gramoxone 2.0 with existing labels will
be consistent with the implementation
of the interim decision label language.
Consequently, EPA has determined that
the sale and use of existing stocks of
Gramoxone 2.0 will not be inconsistent
with the purposes of FIFRA.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby approves
the requested cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses of the
registrations identified in Table 1, Table
1A and Table 2 of Unit II. Accordingly,
the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table
1, Table 1A and Table 2 of Unit II, are
canceled and amended to terminate the
affected uses. The effective date of the
cancellations that are subject of this
notice is March 1, 2022. The effective
date of the cancellation in Table 1A will
be March 30, 2022. Any distribution,
sale, or use of existing stocks of the
products identified in Table 1, Table 1A
and Table 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 October 25, 2021
(86 FR 58906) (FRL–9119–01–OCSPP).
The comment period closed on
November 24, 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 action. The existing
stocks provision for the products subject
to this order is as follows.
For the voluntary cancellation request
in Table 1A, the registrant requested
March 30, 2022, as the effective date of
cancellation; therefore, the registrant
may continue to sell and distribute
existing stocks of products listed in
Table 1A until March 30, 2023, which
is 1 year after the effective date of the
cancellation. Thereafter, the registrant is
prohibited from selling or distributing
products listed in Table 1A of Unit II,
except for export in accordance with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations
listed in Table 1, the registrants may
continue to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products listed in Table 1 until
March 1, 2023, 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 products listed in Table 2 of
Unit II, under the previously approved
labeling until September 1, 2023, a
period of 18 months after publication of
the cancellation order in this Federal
Register, unless other restrictions have
been imposed. Thereafter, registrants
E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM
01MRN1
11432
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2022 / Notices
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0513; FRL-9573-01-OCSPP]
Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations and
Amendments To Terminate Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1, Table 1A
and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows an October
25, 2021, 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 October
25, 2021, 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 30-day comment
period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless
the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received two
comments on the notice; one general comment concerning pesticides in
general that did not directly apply to this notice, so no action or
response was needed and the second merited its further review of the
requests. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests.
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.
DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective March 1, 2022.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received two comments on the notice, one general comment
concerning pesticides in general that did not directly apply to this
notice, so no action or response was needed, and the Agency does not
believe the comment merits further review and the second comment
merited its further review of the request. The second comment and the
response from the Agency is below.
A. Comment
The Federal Register notice and docket provide inadequate
information about how voluntary cancellation of Gramoxone SL 2.0 will
conform to EPA's interim registration review decision for paraquat
dichloride. Specifically, it is unclear whether existing stocks of
Gramoxone SL 2.0 sold or distributed between March 30, 2022, and March
30, 2023, will bear a label that includes the additional restrictions
on use set forth in EPA's interim decision. It would be inappropriate
for EPA to approve any existing stocks provision that allows sale or
distribution of product with labels that do not reflect the interim
registration decision for paraquat dichloride. If the labels do not
conform to that decision, the product would be misbranded because it
would not contain directions EPA has deemed necessary to protect public
health and the environment.
B. Response
The existing stocks provision for the voluntary cancellation of
Gramoxone SL 2.0 is roughly consistent with the phase-out of existing
labeling (and use of new labeling) that will occur in response to the
Agency's interim decision for paraquat. The existing stocks provision
for Gramoxone SL 2.0 permits the registrant to sell and distribute
existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products for one year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which will be March 30, 2023.
Updated paraquat labels containing the additional restrictions from the
interim decision are expected to be approved and stamped by the end of
the 2022 calendar year. After the label approval, the registrants of
the affected products must begin using the new labeling within 12
months of the label stamp date, roughly around the end of the 2023
calendar year.
Given that the interim decision labeling will not be in full effect
until 2023, the continued sale and use of Gramoxone 2.0 with existing
labels will be consistent with the implementation of the interim
decision label language. Consequently, EPA has determined that the sale
and use of existing stocks of Gramoxone 2.0 will not be inconsistent
with the purposes of FIFRA.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses
of the registrations identified in Table 1, Table 1A and Table 2 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Table 1, Table 1A and Table 2 of Unit II,
are canceled and amended to terminate the affected uses. The effective
date of the cancellations that are subject of this notice is March 1,
2022. The effective date of the cancellation in Table 1A will be March
30, 2022. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the
products identified in Table 1, Table 1A and Table 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
October 25, 2021 (86 FR 58906) (FRL-9119-01-OCSPP). The comment period
closed on November 24, 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
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
For the voluntary cancellation request in Table 1A, the registrant
requested March 30, 2022, as the effective date of cancellation;
therefore, the registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products listed in Table 1A until March 30, 2023, which is 1
year after the effective date of the cancellation. Thereafter, the
registrant is prohibited from selling or distributing products listed
in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA
section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1, the
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1 until March 1, 2023, 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 products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously
approved labeling until September 1, 2023, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants
[[Page 11432]]
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.
