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?
In its May 4, 2023 Cancellation Order
for Certain Chlorpyrifos Registrations
and Uses, EPA granted Adama’s request
to terminate food uses and the tobacco
use on its three chlorpyrifos products.
88 FR 28541. That order noted that all
chlorpyrifos tolerances had been
revoked, and thus all use on food, sale,
and distribution of existing stocks for
the products identified in that order
were inconsistent with the purposes of
FIFRA, with the following exceptions.
Use was permitted for non-food uses
consistent with labeling, and existing
stocks were permitted to be sold and
distributed for export, proper disposal,
or in accordance with return agreements
approved by EPA.
In addition, on November 6, 2023,
EPA granted Adama’s request to
terminate the food processing and food
manufacturing site uses on those same
three chlorpyrifos products. See Final
Cancellation Order for Certain
Chlorpyrifos Registrations and Uses, 88
FR 76213 (Nov. 6, 2023). That order
contained existing stocks provisions
that were similar to the provisions in
the May 4, 2023 order.
Subsequent to the issuance of the May
4, 2023 and November 6, 2023
cancellation orders, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated
EPA’s rule revoking all tolerances. (Red
River Valley Sugarbeet Growers
Associations, et al. v. Regan, 85 F.4th
881 (8th Cir. 2023). On February 5,
2024, EPA issued a Federal Register
notice to amend the Code of Federal
Regulations to reflect the court’s
reinstatement of those tolerances. 89 FR
7625. At this time, all the chlorpyrifos
tolerances have been reinstated and are
currently in effect. See 40 CFR 180.342.
Adama requested amendments to the
cancellation orders governing
disposition of their existing stocks to
allow for sale, distribution, and use.
Because the reinstatement of the
chlorpyrifos tolerances means that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:17 Mar 14, 2024
Jkt 262001
chlorpyrifos products can be used in
accordance with their labeling without
concern for adulterated food, EPA is
amending the cancellation orders to
update the existing stocks language for
the following Adama products:
• Pyrinex Chlorpyrifos Insecticide
(EPA Reg. No. 11678–58).
• Chlorpyrifos 4E AG (alternate brand
name Quali-Pro Chlorpyrifos 4E) (EPA
Reg. No. 66222–19).
• Vulcan (EPA Reg. No. 66222–223).
The registrant for all three of the
listed products is Adama US, and its
address is 3120 Highwoods Boulevard,
Suite 100, Raleigh, NC 27604.
III. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks for the products
identified in this document 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 May 4,
2023 (for termination of food uses and
tobacco use) and prior to November 6,
2023 (for termination of food processing
and food manufacturing uses).
At this time, EPA is amending the
existing stocks provisions in the May 4
and November 6 cancellation orders as
follows:
• Sale and distribution of existing
stocks of Pyrinex Chlorpyrifos
Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 11678–58) is
permitted until June 30, 2024.
• Sale and distribution of existing
stocks of Chlorpyrifos 4E AG and QualiPro Chlorpyrifos 4E (EPA Reg. No.
66222–19) and Vulcan (EPA Reg. Nos.
66222–233) is permitted until April 30,
2025.
• Use of existing stocks of
Chlorpyrifos 4E AG, Quali-Pro
Chlorpyrifos 4E, and Vulcan on food,
food processing sites, and food
manufacturing sites must be consistent
with the product labeling. Such use is
permitted until June 30, 2025. Use of
existing stocks Chlorpyrifos 4E AG,
Quali-Pro Chlorpyrifos 4E, and Vulcan
for non-food purposes is permitted until
existing stocks are exhausted, as long as
such use is in accordance with the
labeling.
After these dates, all respective sale,
distribution, and use of existing stocks
is prohibited, except for sale and
distribution for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) and for
proper disposal.

Type of Review: Extension of a

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Estimated Time per Response: 0.50–
122 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one-time, and quarterly reporting
requirements; third party disclosure
requirements; and recordkeeping
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154 and
276.
Total Annual Burden: 22,524 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: Section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act), requires that the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission or FCC) establish rules
ensuring that payphone service
providers or PSPs are ‘‘fairly
compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call.
The Commission’s Payphone
Compensation Rules satisfy section 276
by identifying the party liable for
compensation and establishing a
mechanism for PSPs to be paid. A 2003
Report and Order (FCC 03–235)
established detailed rules (Payphone
Compensation Rules) ensuring that
payphone service providers or PSPs are
‘‘fairly compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call
pursuant to section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act), which the Commission revised in
a 2018 Report and Order (FCC 18–21).
The Payphone Compensation Rules
satisfy section 276 by identifying the
party liable for compensation and
establishing a mechanism for PSPs to be
paid. The Payphone Compensation
Rules: (1) place liability to compensate
PSPs for payphone-originated calls on
the facilities-based long distance
carriers or switch-based resellers (SBRs)
from whose switches such calls are
completed; (2) define these responsible
carriers as ‘‘Completing Carriers’’ and
require them to develop their own
system of tracking calls to completion;
(3) require Completing Carriers to file
with PSPs a quarterly report and also
submit an attestation by a company
