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 4, 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 4, 2010 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order implementing the cancellations, 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. 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 September 15, 2010.

Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the August 4, 2010 Federal Register notice, announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of
products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
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 September 15,
2010. 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 issue of August 4, 2010 (75 FR 46926)
(FRL-8837-6), the comment period closed on September 3, 2010.
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.
A. Disposition of Existing Stocks for All Table 1 Products Except EPA
Reg. No. 524-478
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. (except EPA Reg. No. 524-478)
until September 15, 2011, which is 1 year after the publication of the
Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. 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. (except
EPA Reg. No. 524-478) 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.
B. Disposition of Existing Stocks for EPA Reg. No. 524-478
In accordance with a ``phase-out'' agreement negotiated with
Monsanto Company in conjunction with an amendment request for EPA Reg.
No. 524-478, all sale, distribution, and planting of Bollgard[supreg]
