terminate uses voluntarily requested by
the registrants and accepted by the
Agency, of the chlorpyrifos products
listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II,
pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). This final cancellation order
follows a notice in the Federal Register
of July 15, 2024, that announced EPA’s
receipt of and sought comments on
requests from the registrants in Table 3
of Unit II to voluntarily cancel or amend
these product registrations. In the July
15, 2024, notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue a final cancellation order
implementing the requests, unless the
Agency received substantive comments
within the comment period that would
merit further review of these requests, or
unless the registrants withdrew their
requests. The Agency received one
comment on the notice, which is
summarized in Unit III.B. The
registrants did not withdraw their
requests for these voluntary
cancellations and amendments.
Accordingly, EPA hereby grants the
requested cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses as shown
in this cancellation order. Any

WY).
As noted in Table 1, several food uses
are being terminated, except in certain
specified states; however, some of the
uses identified in the table are not
registered in the states excluded from
termination. The inclusion of a state
specified in Table 1 does not mean that
the product is registered for use in the
listed states; registration of those uses in
additional states must be accomplished
through the FIFRA section 3 registration
process. Specifically, use on apples is
being terminated, except in Idaho,
Oregon, and Washington, among other
states, on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713–520,
19713–599, 19713–671, 34704–857, and
34704–1077; however, some of the
apple uses on those registrations are
only permitted in states east of the
Rockies. For those apple uses that are
currently not permitted in Idaho,
Oregon, and Washington, terminating
use on apples in those states has no
effect. Similarly, use on wheat is being
terminated, except in Missouri (spring
and winter wheat) or Iowa (winter
wheat), on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713–520,
19713–599, 19713–671, 34704–857, and
34704–1077. But because these products
are not registered for use on wheat in
those states, that termination has no
effect. EPA is terminating uses that are
registered, except for the uses that are
retained where those uses are currently
registered.

III. Public Comments
A. Brief History
EPA issued a rule in the Federal
Register on August 30, 2021 (86 FR
48315) (FRL–5993–04–OCSPP) revoking
chlorpyrifos tolerances on the grounds
that they were not safe (the ‘‘Final
Rule’’). Once those tolerances expired
on February 28, 2022, use of pesticide
products containing chlorpyrifos on
food or feed crops would result in
adulterated food, which could not be
sold in interstate commerce. After EPA
alerted registrants of chlorpyrifos
products of the lack of tolerances and
the options for their products, several
registrants submitted requests to
voluntarily cancel their registered
chlorpyrifos products or amend their
chlorpyrifos pesticide products to
remove food uses.
The registrants identified in Table 3 of
Unit II, among others, submitted such
requests. Notice of EPA’s receipt of
these requests was published for
comment in the Federal Register on July
15, 2024 (89 FR 57401) (FRL–12081–01–
OCSPP). The registrants waived the 180day comment period for these voluntary
requests, EPA provided a 30-day
comment period on the proposed
requests, and the comment period
closed on August 14, 2024.

B. Summary of Comments Received
During the public comment period,
EPA received one comment in response
to the notice that published in the
Federal Register of July 15, 2024. The
comment can be found in the docket for
this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–
OPP–2022–0223, available at https://
www.regulations.gov and is briefly
summarized here.
The comment did not specify the
products listed in Table 1 or Table 2 of
Unit II but was supportive of the
cancellation of the pesticide. The
comment stated that the proposed
provisions for using existing stocks for
food uses until June 30, 2025, would
subject workers, bystanders, and
consumers to health risks, and were not
consistent with FIFRA.

Jkt 265001
C. EPA Response to Comments
This cancellation action is responsive
to registrants’ requests to cancel specific
products and specific uses. In response
to the commenter, under FIFRA section
6(f), registrants may, at any time, seek to
cancel their products or seek to amend
their registrations to terminate specific
uses. Under that provision of the statute,
EPA provides an opportunity for public
comment and then acts on the request.
Cancellation of other products or uses
that are not requested by the registrants
occurs under other provisions of FIFRA,
which is beyond the scope of this action
and EPA’s authority in FIFRA section
6(f).
EPA determined that the existing
stocks provisions are not inconsistent
with the purposes of FIFRA, given the
limited amount of existing stocks and
the limited time allowed for use of the
existing stocks outlined in Unit VI. EPA
determined that the comment did not
merit denial of the registrants’ requests
for cancellation and amendment.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register and provide a
public comment period. EPA has
provided the requisite notice and public
comment period. One comment was
submitted to which EPA has responded
above.
IV. The Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby approves
the requested amendments to terminate
uses and cancellations of the
registrations identified in Table 1 and
Table 2 of Unit II, respectively.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders
that the uses identified for the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II are
terminated and the product registrations
identified in Table 2 of Unit II are
cancelled.
The cancellations and amendments
addressed in this Order are effective
December 12, 2024. 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.
A. Products Listed in Table 1 of Unit II
• Sale and distribution of existing
stocks of Drexel Chlorpyrifos Technical
will not be permitted after the final
cancellation order is issued.
• Sale and distribution of existing
stocks is permitted until April 30, 2025,
for the following products:
• Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg.
No. 19713–505).
• Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E–AG (EPA
Reg. No. 19713–520).
• Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15GR (EPA Reg.
No. 19713–521).
• Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E–AG2 (EPA
Reg. No. 19713–599).
• Drexel Lambdafos Insecticide (EPA
Reg. No. 19713–671).
• Warhawk (EPA Reg. No. 34704–
857).
• Warhawk Clearform (EPA Reg. No.
34704–1077).
• Match-Up Insecticide (EPA Reg. No.
34704–1086).
• Use of existing stocks of the
following products on food, food
processing sites, and food
manufacturing sites must be consistent
with the product labeling on those
products:
• Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg.
No. 19713–505).
V. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking these actions?
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 cancelled or amended to
terminate one or more registered uses.

VI. 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 the
effective date of the cancellation action.
EPA has determined that the following
existing stocks provisions are not
inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA
given the limited amount of existing
stocks and the limited time allowed for
use of the existing stocks outlined
below.

existing stocks are exhausted, as long as
such use is in accordance with the
labeling.
After these dates, sale and
distribution of existing stocks will be
prohibited, except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o),
or for proper disposal in accordance
with state regulations.

cancellation order is issued.
Drexel Chlorpyrifos Concentrate (EPA
Reg. No. 19713–518) bears labeling only
for non-food use. Therefore, EPA is
allowing sale and distribution of
existing stocks of those products for one
year after publication of the cancellation
order. Thereafter, sale and distribution
of existing stocks of the product will be
prohibited, except for export consistent
with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o),
or for proper disposal in accordance
with state regulations.
Use of existing stocks is permitted
until such stocks are exhausted,
provided that use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
cancelled products.

advisory committee chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. 10, to provide advice
and recommendations to EPA on
innovative approaches to funding
environmental programs, projects, and
activities. Administrative support for
the EFAB is provided by the Water
Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance
Center within EPA’s Office of Water. In
October 2023, the EFAB accepted a

Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s Federal advisory committees has
a different purpose from public
comment provided to EPA program
offices. Therefore, the process for
submitting comments to a Federal
advisory committee is different from the
process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory
committees provide independent advice
to EPA. Members of the public may
submit comments on matters being
considered by the EFAB for
consideration as the Board develops its
advice and recommendations to EPA.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a public meeting will be
limited to three minutes each. Persons
interested in providing oral statements
at the January 2025 meeting should
register in advance and provide
notification, as noted in the registration
confirmation, by January 3, 2025, to be
placed on the list of registered speakers.
Written Statements: Written
statements should be received by
January 3, 2025, so that the information
can be made available to the EFAB for
its consideration prior to the meeting.
Written statements should be sent via
email to efab@epa.gov. Members of the
public should be aware that their
personal contact information, if
included in any written comments, may
be posted to the EFAB website.
Copyrighted material will not be posted
without explicit permission of the
copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities or to request
accommodations for a disability, please

Chlorpyrifos; Final Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide
Registrations and Amendment of Certain Pesticide Registrations To
Terminate Certain Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This final cancellation order follows a notice
in the Federal Register of July 15, 2024, that announced EPA's receipt
of and sought comments on requests from the registrants in Table 3 of
Unit II to voluntarily cancel or amend these product registrations. In
the July 15, 2024, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue a final
cancellation order implementing the requests, unless the Agency
received substantive comments within the comment period that would
merit further review of these requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency received one comment on the notice,
which is summarized in Unit III.B. The registrants did not withdraw
their requests for these voluntary cancellations and amendments.
Accordingly, EPA hereby grants the requested cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses as shown in this cancellation order. Any
[[Page 100479]]
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products listed in
Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II are subject to the existing stocks
provisions in this cancellation order and permitted only in accordance
with the terms of this order.
DATES: The cancellations and amendments are effective December 12,
2024.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted in Table 1, several food uses are being terminated, except
in certain specified states; however, some of the uses identified in
the table are not registered in the states excluded from termination.
The inclusion of a state specified in Table 1 does not mean that the
product is registered for use in the listed states; registration of
those uses in additional states must be accomplished through the FIFRA
section 3 registration process. Specifically, use on apples is being
terminated, except in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, among other
states, on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599, 19713-671, 34704-857,
and 34704-1077; however, some of the apple uses on those registrations
are only permitted in states east of the Rockies. For those apple uses
that are currently not permitted in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington,
terminating use on apples in those states has no effect. Similarly, use
on wheat is being terminated, except in Missouri (spring and winter
wheat) or Iowa (winter wheat), on EPA Reg. Nos. 19713-520, 19713-599,
19713-671, 34704-857, and 34704-1077. But because these products are
not registered for use on wheat in those states, that termination has
no effect. EPA is terminating uses that are registered, except for the
uses that are retained where those uses are currently registered.

III. Public Comments
A. Brief History
EPA issued a rule in the Federal Register on August 30, 2021 (86 FR
48315) (FRL-5993-04-OCSPP) revoking chlorpyrifos tolerances on the
grounds that they were not safe (the ``Final Rule''). Once those
tolerances expired on February 28, 2022, use of pesticide products
containing chlorpyrifos on food or feed crops would result in
adulterated food, which could not be sold in interstate commerce. After
EPA alerted registrants of chlorpyrifos products of the lack of
tolerances and the options for their products, several registrants
submitted requests to voluntarily cancel their registered chlorpyrifos
products or amend their chlorpyrifos pesticide products to remove food
uses.
The registrants identified in Table 3 of Unit II, among others,
submitted such requests. Notice of EPA's receipt of these requests was
published for comment in the Federal Register on July 15, 2024 (89 FR
57401) (FRL-12081-01-OCSPP). The registrants waived the 180-day comment
period for these voluntary requests, EPA provided a 30-day comment
period on the proposed requests, and the comment period closed on
August 14, 2024.
B. Summary of Comments Received
During the public comment period, EPA received one comment in
response to the notice that published in the Federal Register of July
15, 2024. The comment can be found in the docket for this action,
identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0223,
available at https://www.regulations.gov and is briefly summarized
here.
The comment did not specify the products listed in Table 1 or Table
2 of Unit II but was supportive of the cancellation of the pesticide.
The comment stated that the proposed provisions for using existing
stocks for food uses until June 30, 2025, would subject workers,
bystanders, and consumers to health risks, and were not consistent with
FIFRA.
C. EPA Response to Comments
This cancellation action is responsive to registrants' requests to
cancel specific products and specific uses. In response to the
commenter, under FIFRA section 6(f), registrants may, at any time, seek
to cancel their products or seek to amend their registrations to
terminate specific uses. Under that provision of the statute, EPA
provides an opportunity for public comment and then acts on the
request. Cancellation of other products or uses that are not requested
by the registrants occurs under other provisions of FIFRA, which is
beyond the scope of this action and EPA's authority in FIFRA section
6(f).
EPA determined that the existing stocks provisions are not
inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA, given the limited amount of
existing stocks and the limited time allowed for use of the existing
stocks outlined in Unit VI. EPA determined that the comment did not
merit denial of the registrants' requests for cancellation and
amendment.
IV. The Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby
approves the requested amendments to terminate uses and cancellations
of the registrations identified in Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II,
respectively. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the uses
identified for the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II are terminated
and the product registrations identified in Table 2 of Unit II are
cancelled.
The cancellations and amendments addressed in this Order are
effective December 12, 2024. 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 these actions?
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 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 and provide a public comment period. EPA has
provided the requisite notice and public comment period. One comment
was submitted to which EPA has responded above.
VI. 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 the effective date of the cancellation action. EPA
has determined that the following existing stocks provisions are not
inconsistent with the purposes of FIFRA given the limited amount of
existing stocks and the limited time allowed for use of the existing
stocks outlined below.
A. Products Listed in Table 1 of Unit II
Sale and distribution of existing stocks of Drexel
Chlorpyrifos Technical will not be permitted after the final
cancellation order is issued.
Sale and distribution of existing stocks is permitted
until April 30, 2025, for the following products:
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg. No. 19713-505).
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG (EPA Reg. No. 19713-520).
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15GR (EPA Reg. No. 19713-521).
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG2 (EPA Reg. No. 19713-599).

Warhawk Clearform (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1077).
Match-Up Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1086).
Use of existing stocks of the following products on food,
food processing sites, and food manufacturing sites must be consistent
with the product labeling on those products:
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15G (EPA Reg. No. 19713-505).
[[Page 100484]]
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG (EPA Reg. No. 19713-520).
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 15GR (EPA Reg. No. 19713-521).
Drexel Chlorpyrifos 4E-AG2 (EPA Reg. No. 19713-599).

Warhawk (EPA Reg. No. 34704-857).
Warhawk Clearform (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1077).
Match-Up Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 34704-1086).
Such use is permitted until June 30, 2025. Use of existing stocks
of the products identified in this paragraph 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, sale and distribution of existing stocks will be
prohibited, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o), or for proper disposal in accordance with state
regulations.
B. Products Listed in Table 2 of Unit II
Sale and distribution of existing stocks of Drexel CHLOR-PY-REX
Chlorpyrifos Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 19713-527) and Drexel
Chlorpyrifos 99% Technical (EPA Reg. No. 19713-575) will not be
permitted after the final cancellation order is issued.
Drexel Chlorpyrifos Concentrate (EPA Reg. No. 19713-518) bears
labeling only for non-food use. Therefore, EPA is allowing sale and
distribution of existing stocks of those products for one year after
publication of the cancellation order. Thereafter, sale and
distribution of existing stocks of the product will be prohibited,
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or
for proper disposal in accordance with state regulations.
Use of existing stocks is permitted until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled
products.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
