Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations and 
Amendments To Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and 
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants 
and accepted by the Agency, of certain product registrations, pursuant 
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 
This cancellation order follows a November 22, 2022, Federal Register 
Notice of Receipt of requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of 
Unit II., to voluntarily cancel and amend certain product registrations 
to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the November 22, 
2022, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing 
the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses, 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 did not receive any 
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their 
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation 
order granting the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate 
uses. 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 and amendments are effective March 10, 2023.

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

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments 
in response to the November 22, 2022, Federal Register notice 
announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary 
cancellations and amendments to terminate uses of products listed in 
Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby 
approves the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses 
of product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. 
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations 
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled and amended to 
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations 
that are subject of this notice is March 10, 2023. Any distribution, 
sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 
and 2 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 (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. 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 
November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71321) (FRL-10372-01-OCSPP). The comment 
period closed on December 22, 2022.

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 
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this 
order is as follows.
    For voluntary cancellations, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, the 
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of 
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until March 11, 2024, which is 1 
year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal 
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or 
distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export 
in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 
disposal.
    Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested 
amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or 
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously 
approved labeling until September 10, 2023, a period of 18 months after 
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, 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.

    Dated: March 3, 2023.

Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
