Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

by the registrants to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide product 
registrations and to amend certain product registrations to terminate 
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 and 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 September 10, 2018.

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 http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the agency taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from pesticide 
registrants to cancel certain pesticide products and amend product 
registrations to terminate certain uses. The affected products and the 
registrants making the requests are identified in Tables 1, 1A, 2 & 3 
of this unit. The cancellations of the two triforine products, EPA Reg. 
Nos. 239-2435 and 82534-1, are the last registered products containing 
this active ingredient. The cancellation of the ten siduron products 
listed in Table 1A, are the last registered products containing this 
active ingredient.
    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 in the Federal 
Register 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 listed in Table 3 of Unit II 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 or termination 
action, the effective date of cancellation or termination and all other 
provisions of any earlier cancellation or termination 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 Tables 1, 1A, 1B and 2 of 
Unit II.

A. For Product 10324-195

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter, an 18-month 
sell thru period.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations, identified in Table 
1, Table 1A and 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 
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, Table 1A & Table 1B 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, identified 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.
