Company name and address Corteva Agriscience, LLC, 9330 Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46268. Gharda Chemicals International, Inc., 4032 Crockers Lake Blvd., Suite 818, Sarasota, FL 34238. III. What is the Agency’s authority for taking these actions? person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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. FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(B) (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. EPA is exercising its discretion not to waive the 180-day comment period. No waiver requests have been made by the registrants listed in Table 3, in which case, EPA would typically provide the 180-day comment period. In this instance, while there is a concern for food uses remaining registered in the absence of tolerances, the products identified in this document cannot be used on food—for the products identified in Table 1, tolerances have been revoked, which means that any use of the products in Table 1 on food would render the food adulterated; the product in Table 2 is not registered for use on food. Moreover, there is an ongoing proceeding to cancel the products identified in Table 1 under FIFRA section 6(b) (7 U.S.C. 136d(b)). Therefore, EPA is providing a 180-day comment period. have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling. IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation or use termination/deletion should submit such withdrawal in writing to the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Jun 08, 2023 Jkt 259001 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. A. Products Listed in Table 1 of Unit II If EPA grants the registrant’s request to terminate uses for the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the existing stocks of those products will continue to bear labeling for use on food and non-food use sites. 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 FIFRA; therefore, EPA will prohibit any use of existing stocks for use on food, including the food uses that the registrant seeks to retain. Use of existing stocks of chlorpyrifos products identified in Table 1 of Unit II will be permitted only for non-food uses identified on the existing labels, as long as such use is consistent with the label. EPA intends to prohibit all sale and distribution of existing stocks of the chlorpyrifos products identified in Table 1 of Unit II because those products would continue to bear labeling allowing use on food, for which there are no tolerances, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or for proper disposal in accordance with state regulations. In PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 addition, if EPA and Gharda develop an agreement for return of Gharda’s products, EPA intends to include in the final cancellation order terms allowing for distribution consistent with that return program. B. Product Listed in Table 2 of Unit II The product listed in Table 2 of Unit II bears labeling only for non-food use. At this time, EPA has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with the product identified in Table 2 of Unit II. Therefore, EPA intends to allow Corteva to sell and distribute existing stocks of that product for one year after publication of the cancellation order. Thereafter, Corteva will be prohibited from selling and distributing existing stocks of the product, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or for proper disposal in accordance with state regulations. Persons other than Corteva 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 cancelled products.
