ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0005; FRL-8121-1]
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 request by registrants to voluntarily cancel
certain pesticide registrations and providing a public comment period.
DATES: Unless a request is withdrawn by October 10, 2007 or May 14,
2007 for registrations for which the registrant requested a waiver of
the 180-day comment period, orders will be issued canceling these
registrations. The Agency will consider withdrawal requests postmarked
no later than October 10, 2007 or May 14, 2007, whichever is
applicable. Comments must be received on or before October 10, 2007 or
May 14, 2007, for those registrations where the 180-day comment period
has been waived.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments and your withdrawal request, identified
by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0005, 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. Written withdrawal requests
should be to the Attention of: John Jamula, Information Technology and
Resources Management Division (7502P), at the address above.
? Delivery: OPP Regulatory Public Docket (7502P),
Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South
Building), 2777 S. Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA. Deliveries are only
accepted during the Docket'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 telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
Instructions: Direct your comments to docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2007-0005. 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 Federal 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.
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 Building), 2777 S. Crystal Drive,
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 telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Jamula, Information Technology
and Resources Management Division (7502P), Office of Pesticide
Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone number: (703) 305-6426; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 18646]]
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.
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?

A request to waive the 180-day comment period has been received for
the following registrations: 432-1288; 769-638; 5481-9; 5481-341; 5481-
342; 5481-343; 5481-345 5481-346; 5481-347. Therefore, the 30-day
comment period will apply for these registrations.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant by October 10, 2007
or by May 14, 2007 for those registrations with a 30-day comment
period, orders will be issued canceling all of these registrations. A
person may submit comments to EPA as provided in ADDRESSES and Unit I.
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION above. However, because FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(A) allows a registrant to request cancellation of its pesticide
registrations at any time, users or anyone else desiring retention of
those pesticides listed in Table 1 may want to contact the applicable
registrant in Table 2 directly during this period to request that the
registrant retain the pesticide registration or to discuss the
possibility of transferring the registration. A user seeking to apply
for its own registration of that pesticide may submit comments
requesting EPA not to cancel a registration until its ``me-too''
registration is granted.
Table 2 of this unit includes the names and ADDRESSES of record for
all registrants of the products in Table 1 of this unit, in sequence by
EPA company number:

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1)(A) 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 and provide for a 30-day public comment
period. In addition, where a pesticide is registered for a minor
agricultural use and the Administrator determines that cancellation or
termination of that use would adversely affect the availability of the
pesticide for use, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) requires EPA to provide a
180-day period before approving or rejecting the section 6(f) request
unless:
1. The registrant requests a waiver of the 180-day period, or
2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before October 10, 2007 or
before May 14, 2007 for those registrations where the 180-day comment
period has been waived. 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(s) have 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
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received.
This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as
prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL-
3846-4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product
poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration
requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-
specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply,
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will
be made in specific
[[Page 18651]]
cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of
the products or their 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.
