PDF Version (5 pp, 169K, About PDF) [Federal Register: March 18, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 51)] [Notices] [Page 11553-11557] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr18mr09-57] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0525; FRL-8398-4] Carbaryl; Amending Product Registrations to Terminate Uses and Eliminate Certain Application Methods AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendments to terminate uses and eliminate certain application methods, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of products containing the pesticide carbaryl, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This order follows two Federal Register Notices of Receipt of Requests dated August 20, 2008 and October 15, 2008, respectively, from the carbaryl registrants to voluntarily terminate certain uses of and eliminate certain application methods for their carbaryl product registrations. These are not the last carbaryl products registered for use in the United States. In the August 20 and October 15, 2008 Notices, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the amendments to terminate uses, 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 within this period. The Agency received five comments on the notice but none merited further review of the requests. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice an order granting the requested amendments to terminate uses and eliminate certain application methods. Any distribution, sale, or use of the carbaryl products subject to this order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions. DATES: The termination of uses and elimination of application methods for carbaryl products specified in this notice are effective April 17, 2009.

Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments EPA received four public comments on the August 20, 2008 6(f) Notice (73 FR 49184) and one comment on the October 15 6(f) Notice (73 FR 61121), from Jan Meneley of AgBio Inc., Dr. Steven Booth of Willapa Bay/Grays Harbor Oyster Grower Association, C. Weeber, a private citizen, and from two anonymous private citizens. The comment from C. Weeber requested that EPA evaluate carbaryl use on pine trees in residential areas, which is not one of the uses being deleted, and is therefore not relevant to this action. The comment from Steven Booth focused on the importance of a special local need registration of carbaryl for control of burrowing shrimp in oyster beds in Willapa Bay, WA, which is also not one of the registrations being amended, and is therefore not relevant to this action. The comments received from private citizens requested cancellation of all carbaryl uses, including use to control Mountain Pine Beetle in Colorado, and further testing of carbaryl. These commenters do not, however, object to the deletion of uses or elimination of application methods that are the subject of this order. Nor do these commenters provide information that would lead the Agency to further review or deny the requests. Accordingly, the Agency does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period merit further review or a denial of the requests for amendments to terminate uses of and eliminate certain application methods for carbaryl products. IV. Cancellation Order Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested amendments to terminate uses of and eliminate certain application methods for carbaryl registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the carbaryl product registrations identified in Tables 1 of Unit II. are hereby amended to terminate the affected uses and application methods. 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 considered 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 Administrator may approve such a request. 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 or termination action. The existing stocks provisions of this order terminating uses and eliminating certain application methods are as follows and are effective immediately. Provided that these stocks bear labels previously approved by EPA, registrants may sell and distribute existing stocks of the affected products for 18 months from the effective date of this order, with the exception of Scotts Ortho Business Group and Matson LLC, who may sell and distribute existing stocks of EPA Registration Numbers 239-2514 and 8119-5, respectively, in Table 1 of Unit II. for 24 months from the effective date of this order. Thereafter the distribution and sale of existing stocks by registrants of any of the products listed in Table 1 that bear the terminated uses or application methods will not be lawful under FIFRA, except for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. This order allows persons other than the registrant to continue to sell and/or use existing stocks of canceled products until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product. This order specifically prohibits any use of existing stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved labeling.
