Document Number: E8-9511
Type: Notice
Date: 2008-04-30
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel the registrations for all of their products containing 4-chloro-alpha- (1-methylethyl)benzeneacetic acid, cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl ester (fenvalerate). The requests would terminate the last fenvalerate products registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests within this period. Upon acceptance of these requests, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

At the same time, the EPA also published a parallel proposal in the Federal Register to address any adverse comments received on the direct final rule.

This SIP revision updated facility names, revised formatting, removed sources no longer in operation, and revised some emission limits.

EPA received one letter containing several comments on the proposal. After review of these comments and for the reasons discussed below, EPA is approving this SIP revision request.
