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 cancelled or amended to terminate one or more registered 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)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless: 1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or 2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment. The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II have requested that EPA waive the 180day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests. IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 V. 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 cancellation action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish a final cancellation order in the Federal Register. In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation of product registrations and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA proposes to include the following provisions for the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:56 Dec 12, 2022 Jkt 259001 treatment of any existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. EPA proposes prohibiting all use of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos products identified in Tables 1 and 2 for food uses. Because all chlorpyrifos tolerances expired on February 28, 2022, use of chlorpyrifos in or on food will result in adulterated food, which cannot be delivered into interstate commerce. Such use would be inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA. EPA is proposing to allow use of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos products identified in Tables 1 and 2 for non-food uses identified on the existing labels, as long as such use is consistent with the label. All other use of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos products would be prohibited. Moreover, EPA proposes prohibiting all sale and distribution of existing stocks of the chlorpyrifos products identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal, in accordance with state regulations. In addition, EPA is working with Corteva and Adama to develop plans for the return of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos to the registrants. Corteva and Adama are developing plans for the return of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos to the registrants. Subject to EPA approval, the terms and conditions of these plans will be implemented through the Cancellation Orders governing the distribution of these products under those return programs. If EPA and Corteva and Adama can come to agreement on those plans, EPA intends to include in the final cancellation order terms allowing for distribution consistent with those return programs. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. Dated: December 8, 2022. Mary Reaves, Director, Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
