Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 18, 2024 / Notices
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers and importers of
architectural coatings.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 59, subpart D)
Estimated number of respondents:
520 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
annually.
Total estimated burden: 24,500 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,550,000 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to an
adjustment(s). The adjustment increase
in burden from the most recently
approved ICR is due to an increase in
the number of respondents due to
growth in the industry. There is an
increase in costs from the most recently
approved ICR due to the increased
respondent count and the use of
updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor
rates from the most recent Bureau of
Labor Statistics report (September 2022)
to calculate respondent burden costs.

Director, Information Engagement Division.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.

request that any of its pesticide

Jkt 265001
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.

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.

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
E:\FR\FM\18DEN1.SGM
18DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 18, 2024 / Notices
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 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
Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for product cancellation or use
termination should submit the
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 action. If the requests for voluntary
cancellation and/or amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency
intends to publish the cancellation
order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to
these requests for cancellation of
product registrations and/or 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.
For voluntary product cancellations,
registrants will be permitted to sell and
distribute existing stocks of voluntarily
canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which
will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in table 1 of unit
II, except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses,
registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:09 Dec 17, 2024
Jkt 265001
approved labeling for a period of 18
months after the date of Federal
Register publication of the cancellation
order, 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/or 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/or terminated uses.

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 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.
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
[[Page 102891]]
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 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 Requests
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination should submit the 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
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and/or amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.
In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and/or 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.
For voluntary product cancellations, registrants will be permitted
to sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be
the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in table 1 of unit II, except for
export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
cancellation order, 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/or 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/or terminated uses.
