V. 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 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 notice of receipt for this action was published for comment in the Federal Register of July 24, 2019 (84 FR 35670) (FRL-9996-16). The comment period closed on August 23, 2019.

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 action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this order is as follows.

A. For Product 1021-2753

The registrant of 1021-2753 listed in Table 1A, requested the cancellation to be effective on May 01, 2019; therefore, the registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products until May 01, 2020, which is 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation.

For all other voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until September 30, 2019, which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal Register . Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Tables 1 and 1A of Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.

Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II under the previously approved labeling until March 30, 2021, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register , unless other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.

Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include the terminated uses until supplies 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 and terminated uses.
