Environmental Protection Agency July 27, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces EPA's rescision of a previously issued cancellation order and provides a revised cancellation order, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of products containing methyl parathion, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This revised cancellation order rescinds a July 16, 2010 Federal Register Notice which incorrectly stated the effective date of the cancellations of the product registrations listed in Table 1 of Unit II. This order correctly identifies the effective dates of cancellation for the affected product registrations. In addition, this order clarifies the existing stocks provisions. These are the last products containing this pesticide registered for use in the United States. In the April 28, 2010 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel all these product registrations, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30 day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received two comments on the notice but none merited the denial or the further review of the requests. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
