Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory per TSCA section 6(h) and 40 CFR part 751. Frequency of response: Occasional. Total estimated number of potential respondents: 73. Total estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Total estimated annual burden hours: 53 hours. Total estimated annual costs: $4,299 (includes an estimated burden cost of $4,299 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs). lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is decrease of 33 hours in the total estimated annual respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA’s updating of burden estimates and represents an adjustment. It results from the fact that some firms are no longer expected to incur recordkeeping and downstream notification costs since they are prohibited from using the chemical during the period this ICR covers. In addition, EPA has updated this Supporting Statement to reflect the OMB request that EPA move towards using the 18-question format for ICR Supporting Statements that is used by other federal agencies and departments based on the submission instructions established by OMB in 1995. The 18question format will replace the alternate format developed by EPA and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency does not expect the change in format to result in substantive changes to the presentation of the information collection activities or related estimated burden and costs. EPA welcomes comment on this new format in the context of this ICR. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Mar 09, 2023 Jkt 259001 comments to OMB.

Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments in response to the November 22, 2022, Federal Register notice announcing the Agency’s receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 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 product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 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 10, 2023. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 and 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 November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71321) (FRL–10372–01– OCSPP). The comment period closed on December 22, 2022. VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Mar 09, 2023 Jkt 259001 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 voluntary cancellations, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until March 11, 2024, 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 10, 2023, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants 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.

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 certain product registrations, pursuant 
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 
This cancellation order follows a November 22, 2022, Federal Register 
Notice of Receipt of requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of 
Unit II., to voluntarily cancel and amend certain product registrations 
to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the November 22, 
2022, 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 did not receive any 
comments on the notice. 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 10, 2023.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to 
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the November 22, 2022, Federal Register notice 
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary 
cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of products listed in 
Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.

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 product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1 and 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 10, 2023. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 
and 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 
November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71321) (FRL-10372-01-OCSPP). The comment 
period closed on December 22, 2022.

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 voluntary cancellations, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the 
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until March 11, 2024, 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 10, 2023, a period of 18 months after 
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless 
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants 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.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: March 3, 2023.
Daniel Rosenblatt,
Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
