product registrations containing the
pesticide chlorpyrifos and to amend
their chlorpyrifos registrations to
terminate one or more uses. EPA
intends to grant these requests at the

withdraw their requests. If these
requests are granted, any sale,
distribution, or use of products listed in
this notice will be permitted after the
registrations have been cancelled or the
uses terminated only if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms as described in the final order.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before January 12, 2023.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action,
identified by docket identification (ID)

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. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through https://
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly
mark the part or all of the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
commenting-epa-dockets.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by the
Agency of requests from registrants to
cancel certain pesticide product
registrations and terminate certain uses
of product registrations. These affected
registrations are listed in sequence by

listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of this
Unit, in sequence by EPA company
number. This company number
corresponds to the first part of the EPA
registration numbers of the products
listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of this
Unit.
Unless the Agency determines that
there are substantive comments that
warrant further review of the requests or
the registrants withdraw their requests,
EPA intends to issue an order in the
Federal Register canceling all of the
registrations and terminating uses as
requested.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking these actions?
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.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests
by the registrants to voluntarily cancel certain
[[Page 76192]]
product registrations containing the pesticide chlorpyrifos and to
amend their chlorpyrifos registrations to terminate one or more uses.
EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period
for this announcement, unless the Agency receives substantive comments
within the comment period that would merit its further review, or the
registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any
sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be
permitted after the registrations have been cancelled or the uses
terminated only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms as described in the final order.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 12, 2023.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking these actions?
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 180-day 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.
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 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.
