ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1017; FRL-8851-5]
Notice of Receipt of Requests To Voluntarily Cancel Certain
Pesticide Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel
certain pesticide registrations. 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 canceled 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 December 10, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1017, by one of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public
Docket (7502P), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001.
Submit written withdrawal request by mail to: Pesticide Re-
evaluation Division (7508P), Office of Pesticide Programs,
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,

Delivery: OPP Regulatory Public Docket (7502P),
Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South
Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. Deliveries are only
accepted during the Docket Facility's normal hours of operation (8:30
a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays).
Special arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed
information. The Docket Facility telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
Instructions: Direct your comments to docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2009-1017. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the docket without change and may be made available on-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 Web site 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 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Docket Facility telephone
number is (703) 305-5805.

evaluation Division (7508P), Office of Pesticide Programs,
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,

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. 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
[[Page 69074]]
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.
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 requests from
registrants to cancel 117 pesticide products registered under FIFRA
section 3 or 24(c). These registrations are listed in sequence by
registration number (or company number and 24(c) number) in Tables 1a,
1b, and 1c 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. The requests to cancel
products with EPA Reg. Nos. 66330-63 and 66330-69 would terminate the
last Sodium tetrathiocarbonate products registered for use in the
United States.
The cancellations of products listed in Table 1b will be effective
December 31, 2015. The requests to cancel these products would
terminate the last Temephos products registered for use in the United
States.
The cancellations of products containing active ingredients other
than Sodium tetrathiocarbonate and Temephos would not terminate the
last products registered for use in the United States of those active
ingredients.

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.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA 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) 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. If the requests for voluntary cancellations are
granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the
Federal Register.
A. For All Products Listed in Table 1a in 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 1a 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 pesticide products identified in Table 1a
of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 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.
B. For All Products Listed in Table 1b in Unit II
Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk
concerns associated with these pesticide products, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing
stocks of products containing temephos identified or referenced in
Table 1b in Unit II.:
After December 31, 2015, registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing existing stocks of products containing temephos labeled
for all uses.
After December 31, 2016, persons other than registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing existing stocks of products
containing temephos labeled for all uses.
After December 31, 2016, existing stocks of products containing
temephos labeled for all uses, already in the hands of users can be
used legally until they are exhausted, provided that such use complies
with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the affected product.

C. For All Products Listed in Table 1c in Unit II
Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk
concerns associated with these pesticide products, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing
stocks of products containing methyl bromide or metam-sodium identified
or referenced in Table 1c in Unit II.:
All sale or distribution by the registrant of existing stocks is
prohibited after publication of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register, unless that sale or distribution is solely for the purpose of
facilitating disposal or export of the product.
Existing stocks may be sold and distributed by persons other than
the registrant for 120 days from the date of the cancellation order.
Existing stocks may be used until exhausted, provided that such use
complies with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the product.
