IV. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a 
registrant of a pesticide product may, at any time, request that any of 
its pesticide registrations be cancelled 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.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) 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) 
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C))

[[Page 21345]]

requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for 
voluntary cancellation or termination or 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 effects to the 
environment. The flubendiamide registrant has requested that EPA waive 
the 180-day comment period for this action. Accordingly, EPA is 
providing a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product 
cancellation or use deletion should submit the 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.

VI. 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 
action. If the request for voluntary cancellation is granted, the 
Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the Federal 
Register.
    In any order issued in response to this request for cancellation of 
SYNAPSE WG Insecticide and SYNAPSE 480 Insecticide, EPA proposes to 
include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing 
stocks of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit III.
    The registrant and distributors may not sell or distribute existing 
stocks of the product. Users with existing stocks of the cancelled 
product can use the product until supplies are exhausted, provided that 
such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved 
labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled product. Thereafter, 
registrants and any distributors of the product will be prohibited from 
selling or distributing the product identified in Table 1 of Unit III., 
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or 
for proper disposal. Any additional information will be set forth in a 
cancellation order after the products have been cancelled.
