Specific Exemption: EPA authorized
the use of acifluorfen on a maximum of
48,000 acres of sugar beets for
postemergence control of invasive
amaranthus (pigweed) spp., waterhemp,

the use of acifluorfen on a maximum of
65,000 acres of sugar beets for
postemergence control of glyphosateresistant waterhemp. Time-limited
tolerances in connection with a
previous action support this emergency

Department of Agriculture
Denial: On May 18, 2023, EPA denied
a specific exemption request for the use
of metamitron to control glyphosateresistant Palmer amaranth in sugar
beets. Metamitron is an unregistered
pesticide and EPA has not yet fully
evaluated its potential risks. Therefore,
the request was denied because the
Agency was unable to make the safety
findings for metamitron as mandated by
FIFRA and the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Because an
unregistered pesticide was requested, a

public comment period closed on March
27, 2023. No negative comments were
submitted, but a number of comments
were received from stakeholders (e.g.,
producers, grower representatives, and
state government entities) in favor of
allowing the use.

III. 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. 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:04 Aug 30, 2023
Jkt 259001
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

Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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. Because the
Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with
these pesticide products, upon
cancellation of the products identified
in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA anticipates
allowing registrants to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these
products for 1 year after publication of
E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM
31AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 168 / Thursday, August 31, 2023 / Notices
the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register.
Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the pesticides 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.

III. 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. 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. Because the Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon
cancellation of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA
anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks
of these products for 1 year after publication of
[[Page 60209]]
the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the pesticides 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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: August 24, 2023.
