Environmental Protection Agency August 6, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticide tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), or to amend their TCVP product registrations to terminate or delete one or more uses. The requests would terminate TCVP use of Chem-Tech, Ltd. (Chem- Tech) dust formulations on cats and dogs, voluntarily cancel TCVP dust formulations produced by The Hartz Mountain Corporation (Hartz) for domestic animals (cats and dogs) and cancel one of Hartz's pet collars for cats. The requests would not terminate the last TCVP products registered for use in the United States, or the last TCVP pesticide products registered in the United States for these uses. 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. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have been canceled or uses terminated only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
