line at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
docket index available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed
in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available either in the
electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available
in hard copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One
Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The
hours of operation of this Docket Facility are from 8:30 a.m. to 4

Facility telephone number is (703) 305-5805.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public in general. Although this
action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
[[Page 32767]]
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by the Agency of an application from
Ticks or Mosquitoes, LLC., the registrant, to cancel the pesticide
product listed in Table 1 below.
Table 1.--Registrations with Pending Requests for Cancellation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration No. Product Name Chemical Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
75771-1 Biter Fighter Calcium Lactate
and Urea
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless the request is withdrawn by the registrant within 180 days
of publication of this notice, orders will be issued canceling this
product registration. Users of this product or anyone else desiring the
retention of this registration should contact the registrant directly
during this 180-day period.
Table 2 includes the name and address of record for the registrant
of the product in Table 1, by EPA company number:
Table 2.--Registrants Requesting Voluntary Cancellation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA Company No. Company Name and Address
------------------------------------------------------------------------
75771 Ticks or Mosquitoes, LLC
905 S. Kingshighway
Sikeston, MO 63801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. 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. 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, the Administrator may approve such a request.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
If the registrant chooses to withdraw the request for cancellation
such withdrawal must be submitted in writing to the person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before December 6, 2010.
This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only
to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice.
If the product has been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also
include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill
any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.
V. 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. EPA's existing stocks policy (56 FR 29362)
provides that: ``If a registrant requests to voluntarily cancel a
registration where the Agency has identified no particular risk
concerns, the registrant has complied with all applicable conditions of
reregistration, conditional registration, and Data Call-Ins, and the
registration is not subject to a Registration Standard, Label
Improvement Program, or reregistration decision, the Agency will
generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for
1 year after the cancellation request was received. Persons other than
registrant will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted.''
Upon cancellation of the pesticide identified in Table 1, EPA
anticipates allowing sale, distribution and use as described in this
unit. Exception to this general policy will be made in specific cases
when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the
product or its ingredients have already been imposed, as in a special
review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential
risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.
