announced its order for the
cancellations for 16 chlorpyrifos
products (including the products listed
in Table 1 of Unit II.) pursuant to the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which were
voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency. The
Agency is issuing this notice to amend
the existing stocks provisions in that
order, specifically for the products
listed in this document.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action,
identified under docket identification
(ID) number EPA–HQ–OPP–2022–0223,
SUMMARY:
is available online at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
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.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
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. The provisions
for disposition of existing stocks laid
out in Unit IV. of the Cancellation Order
for Certain Chlorpyrifos Registrations
(87 FR 53471, August 31, 2022 (FRL–
10138–01–OCSPP)) are as follows:
‘‘Because chlorpyrifos tolerances have
been revoked and use of chlorpyrifos
renders food adulterated all sale,
distribution, and use of the chlorpyrifos
products identified in Table 1 of Unit I.
is prohibited, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o), or for proper disposal.’’ It
was recently called to the Agency’s
attention that the cancelled products
identified in the August 31, 2022 order
(Table 1), were registered for only nonfood uses or had labels which did not
include food uses.

Pesticide products containing
chlorpyrifos that are registered for only
non-food uses were not impacted by the
tolerance revocation, and thus the same
reasons for prohibiting sale,
distribution, and use do not apply.
Therefore, EPA is amending the
cancellation order to provide different
existing stocks language for the products
listed in Table 1 and for the registrant
in Table 2.

III. 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. At this time, the
Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with
the products identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. Therefore, EPA is allowing the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to
sell and distribute existing stocks of
these products for one year after
publication of the August 31, 2022.
Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register (87 FR 53471). As such, the
registrant may sell the products in Table
1 until August 31, 2023. Thereafter,
registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit II.
will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the pesticide products
identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
Persons other than registrants will
generally be allowed to sell, distribute,
or use existing stocks until such 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.

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.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. Background
Registration review is the EPA’s
periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each
pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
5333
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. As part of the
registration review process, the Agency
has completed preliminary workplans
for all pesticides listed in Table 1 in
Unit IV. Through this program, the EPA
is ensuring that each pesticide’s
registration is based on current
scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment.
III. Authority
The EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in Table
1 in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Procedural Regulations for Registration
Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among
other things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be reviewed every 15
years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product
may be registered or remain registered
only if it meets the statutory standard
for registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used
in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to
man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.
IV. Registration Reviews
A. What action is the Agency taking?
A pesticide’s registration review
begins when the agency establishes a
docket for the pesticide’s registration
review case and opens the docket for
public review and comment. Pursuant
to 40 CFR 155.50, this notice announces
the availability of the EPA’s preliminary
work plans for the pesticides shown in
Table 1 and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the work plans.

that interested persons identify any
additional information they believe the
agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides.
The agency identifies in each docket the
areas where public comment is
specifically requested, though comment
in any area is welcome.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.50(b) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
preliminary registration review work
plans. This comment period is intended
to provide an opportunity for public
input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary changes to a pesticide’s
workplan. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in
ADDRESSES and must be received by the
EPA on or before the closing date. These
comments will become part of the
docket for the pesticides included in
Table 1 in Unit IV. Comments received
after the close of the comment period
will be marked ‘‘late.’’ The EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The final registration review
work plan will explain the effect that
any comments had on the final work
plan and provide the agency’s response
to significant comments.
