Cancellation of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait Use in Four States
As required by court order issued on July 27, 2011, EPA is taking certain measures regarding the registration of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait (EPA Reg. No. 7173-286).
As of August 8, 2011, it is a violation of Federal law to use Rozol Prairie Dog Bait in the states of Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The registrant, Liphatech, submitted an application to EPA to amend its registration for Rozol Prairie Dog Bait. EPA has approved the amendment. This amendment eliminates the use of this bait in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
EPA’s action does not affect the use of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
The final cancellation order provides details regarding labeling and use of existing stocks (i.e, stocks still labeled for use in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota). Among the provisions are the following:
- The registrant must re-label any existing stocks within its possession and control to reflect the new label restrictions.
- No person may sell or distribute existing stocks unless, for each such transfer, a copy of the final cancellation order accompanies that transaction.
- No person may sell or distribute existing stocks in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota unless such sale or distribution is for the purpose of disposal, returning the material to the person or entity from whom it was purchased, or for transfer for the purpose of resale outside of Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota.
