ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0306; FRL-8873-8]

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., pursuant to section 6(f)(1)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended. This cancellation order follows an August 25, 2010 Federal
Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in
Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel these product registrations.
In the August 25, 2010 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received
substantive comments within the 180-day comment period that would merit
its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency received comments on the notice but
these comments were exclusively on the public health mosquitocide uses.
Consequently, the public health pesticide products

containing resmethrin have been removed from this final cancellation
order and will be addressed separately from other resmethrin products.
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.

DATES: The cancellations are effective June 1, 2011.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    The resmethrin docket was open for a 180-day comment period
beginning on August 25, 2010. During that time, four comments were
received on the Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain Pesticide
Registrations. The comments were from two Florida counties, the IR-4
Project in New Jersey, and ADAPCO, a business that provides mosquito
control products and equipment. The comments were exclusively on the
public health uses of resmethrin and are summarized in this unit.
Comments on the Public Health Mosquitocide Use
    1. Comments From the IR-4 Project. IR-4 commented that the number
of pesticides available to control mosquitoes is limited, and that
temephos is also being voluntarily cancelled at this time. They also
commented that the Food Quality Protection Act created mechanisms to
prevent public health pesticides from being driven off the market
solely due to data needs. They point out that the proposed cancellation
is voluntary, driven not by risk but rather by the small market and the
high cost of data generation. Finally, IR-4 requests a 15-month
moratorium on any regulatory action that would result in the loss of
resmethrin or any other active ingredient defined as a public health
pesticide by FQPA.
    2. EPA Response. EPA is currently reviewing the data supporting
resmethrin use as a public health pesticide. A separate Federal
Register Notice (75 FR 28019, May 19, 2010) (FRL-8825-7), announced the
receipt of requests to voluntarily cancel those resmethrin products
registered for use in wide area mosquito abatement. A number of
entities which commented on that notice are currently coordinating to
develop a Pest Management Strategic Plan to support the continued
registration of resmethrin for public health use. Consequently, certain
public health pesticide products containing remethrin have been removed
from this final cancellation order and will be addressed separately
from other resmethrin products.
    3. Comments From County Mosquito Districts. St. Lucie County and
Manatee County both commented that the loss of mosquitocide vector
control chemicals will result in increased public health risks due to
mosquito-borne illnesses. Both pointed out that resmethrin is highly
effective and has positive environmental attributes such as short-half
life, no toxic metabolites, and minimal non-target impacts. St. Lucie
County noted that resmethrin causes less allergic reaction in
pesticide-sensitive individuals, and Manatee County maintained that
resmethrin is one of few chemicals available for large scale Ultra Low
Volume (ULV) adulticiding activities.
    4. EPA Response. See previous response. EPA recognizes the
importance of public health pesticides and is addressing resmethrin
public health use products separately.
    5. Comments From ADAPCO. ADAPCO commented on the danger of
resistance development if more mosquitocide products are cancelled and
operations are forced to depend on only a few options in chemistry.
They noted that resmethrin can be used in environmentally sensitive
areas against West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and other
vector-borne diseases, most often when efficacy is not achieved with
cheaper formulations.
    6. EPA Response. See previous response. EPA recognizes the
importance of public health pesticides and is addressing resmethrin
public health use products separately. Several resmethrin products
included in the August 25, 2010 (75 FR 52330) (FRL-8838-8) Federal
Register Notice, specifically the public health uses, have been removed
from this final cancellation order and will be addressed separately as
noted in this Unit above. The remaining products will thus be cancelled
per this notice.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit II are canceled. The effective date of
the cancellations that are subject of this notice is June 1, 2011. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent with any of
the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI.
will be a violation of FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's authority for taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the EPA Administrator may approve
such a request. The notice of receipt for this action was published for
comment in the Federal Register of August 25, 2010. The comment period
closed on February 22, 2011.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows.
    The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until December 31, 2012.
Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing
products listed in Table 1, except for export in accordance with FIFRA
section 17, or proper disposal. Persons other than the registrants may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of products listed in Table 1
of Unit II. until existing stocks 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.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Shark River (South Channel),
Avon, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Railroad Bridge (NJT) across the
Shark River (South Channel), mile 0.9, at Avon, NJ. This deviation is
necessary to perform urgent bridge repairs. This deviation allows the
bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 9,
2016.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2016-0232] is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Hal R. Pitts, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-
6222, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: New Jersey Transit (NJT), that owns and
operates the Railroad Bridge (NJT), has requested a temporary deviation
from the current operating regulations to perform urgent repairs to the
buffers which protect the bridge locks from damage during opening and
closing movements. The bridge is a single bascule draw bridge and has a
vertical clearance in the closed position of 8 feet above mean high
water.
    The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.751. Under
this temporary deviation, the bridge will remain in the closed-to-
navigation position from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 9, 2016 and will
open-to-navigation with at least one hour advance notice.
    The Shark River is used by a variety of vessels including small
U.S. government and public vessels, small commercial vessels, tug and
barge, and recreational vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully
considered the nature and volume of vessel traffic on the waterway in
publishing this temporary deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies with
at least one hour advance notice and there is no immediate alternate
route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users
of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of
the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel
operators can arrange their transit to minimize any impact caused by
the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: March 24, 2016.
