Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain
Pesticide Registrations and Amend Registrations To Terminate Certain
Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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
pesticide products and to amend their pesticide product registrations
to terminate one or more 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, or unless the registrants
withdraw their 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 cancelled or uses
terminated only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms as described in the final order.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 28, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0074, through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information
you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Additional

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel certain and terminate certain uses of certain product
registrations. The affected products and the registrants making the
requests are identified in Tables 1-3 of this unit.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant or if the Agency
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further
review of this request, EPA intends to issue an order canceling and
amending the affected registrations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 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 for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1, Table 1A, Table 1B
and Table 2 of Unit II.

A. For: 264-334, 264-335, 264-429, 432-982, 432-1209, 432-1210, 432-
1211, 432-1212, 432-1227, 432-1511, and 432-1525

    For 264-334, 264-335, 264-429, 432-982, 432-1209, 432-1210, 432-
1211, 432-1212, 432-1227, 432-1511, and 432-1525, listed in Table 1A of
Unit II, the registrants have requested 18-months 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 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

B. For: 61483-2; 61483-3; 61483-94, and 97080-10

    For 61483-2; 61483-3; 61483-94, and 97080-10, listed in Table 1B of
Unit II, the registrants of the products listed in Table 1B of Unit II,
have requested an effective date of cancellation of February 29, 2024,
for the products listed in Table 1B of Unit II, 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 March 01, 2025. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products identified
in Table 1B of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, 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, listed in Table 2 of Unit II, 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 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 terminated uses.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
