ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-1017; FRL-8863-4]
Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations
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 Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II., pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows the November
10, 2010 and November 17, 2010 Federal Register Notices of Receipt of
Requests from the registrants listed in Table 4 of Unit II. to
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In these notices, 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 received
comments on the November 10, 2010 notice but none merited its further
review of the 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 as noted in Unit IV. of this
cancellation order.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
Comments were received from the American Mosquito Control
Association and the IR-4 Project on temephos. Both organizations
emphasized the benefits of temephos as it is used in public health for
mosquito control and requested that EPA extend the comment period for
these product cancellations. However, the Agency recognizes the role of
temephos in mosquito control and has agreed to a 4-year phase-out of
the product registrations to
[[Page 10591]]
accommodate this need and allow registrants time to develop replacement
products. The current temephos products would not be cancelled until
December 30, 2015. For these reasons, the Agency does not believe that
the comment period should be extended.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of
Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II. are
cancelled. The effective date of the cancellation of the products
listed in Tables 1 and 3 of this notice is February 25, 2011. The
effective date of the cancellation of the products listed in Table 2 is
December 31, 2015. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of
the products identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 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 notices of receipt for this action were published
for comment in the Federal Register issues of November 10, 2010 (75 FR
69073) (FRL-8851-5) and November 17, 2010 (75 FR 70256) (FRL-8850-1).
The comment periods closed on December 10, 2010 and December 17, 2010
respectively.
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. For All Products 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 February 25, 2012,
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. 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. For All Products Listed in Table 2 of 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 3 of 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 effective 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.
