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 the Agency of requests from
registrants to cancel certain pesticide products registered under FIFRA
section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). These
registrations are listed in sequence by registration number (or company
number and 24(c) number) in Table 1 and Table 1A of this unit.
Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments
that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw
their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register
canceling all of 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. 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 in Table 2 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 Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such 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
cancellation action.
For MT-120005
The registrant has requested the effective date of cancellation to
be, March 3, 2022, for MT-120005; therefore, because the Agency has
identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with the
pesticide product, upon cancellation of the product identified in Table
1A of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing the registrant to sell and
distribute existing stocks of the product identified in Table 1A of
Unit II, until March 3, 2023. Thereafter, the registrant will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticide identified in
Table 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17
(7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk
concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon cancellation of
the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA anticipates allowing
registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products
for 1 year after publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such 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.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
