Diazinon; Products Cancellation Order

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's cancellation order for the product and use cancellations as requested by companies (hereafter collectively referred to as the ``EUP Registrants'') that hold the registrations of pesticide End-Use Products (EUPs) containing the active ingredient diazinon and accepted by EPA, pursuant to section 6(f) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This order follows up a September 13, 2001, notice of receipt from the EUP Registrants, of requests for cancellations and or amendments of their diazinon product registrations to terminate all indoor uses, certain agricultural uses and certain outdoor non- agricultural uses. In the September 13, 2001 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order granting the voluntary product and use registration cancellations unless the Agency received any substantive comment within the comment period that would merit its further review of these requests. The Agency did receive one request from an EUP registrant revoking its voluntary cancellation requests for two products. No other comments were received. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the remaining requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is only permitted in accordance with the terms of the existing stocks provisions of this cancellation order.

DATES: The cancellations are effective November 15, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

2. Receipt of Requests to Cancel and Amend Registrations to Delete Uses

   1. Background

      Certain registrants requested in letters dated May, June and August 2001, that their diazinon registrations be amended to delete all indoor uses, certain agricultural uses, and any other uses that the registrants do not wish to maintain. The requests also included deletions of outdoor non-agricultural uses from the labeling of certain end-use products so that such products would be labeled for agricultural uses only. Similarly, other diazinon end-use registrants requested voluntary cancellation of their diazinon EUP registrations with indoor use and/or certain outdoor non-agricultural uses, and any other uses that the registrants do not wish to maintain. EPA announced its receipt of these above-mentioned cancellation requests in a Federal Register notice dated September 13, 2001.

      These requested cancellations and amendments are consistent with the requests in December 2000, by the manufacturers of diazinon technical products, and EPA's approval of such requests, to terminate all indoor uses and certain agricultural uses from their diazinon product registrations because of EPA's concern with the potential exposure risk, especially to children, associated with diazinon containing products. The indoor uses and agricultural uses subject to cancellation are identified in the following List.

      List -- Uses Requested for Termination

      1. Indoor uses: Pet collars, or inside any structure or vehicle, vessel, or aircraft or any enclosed area, and/or on any contents therein (except mushroom houses), including food/feed handling establishments, greenhouses, schools, residences, museums, sports facilities, stores, warehouses and hospitals.

      2. Agricultural uses: Alfalfa, bananas, Bermuda grass, dried beans, dried peas, celery, red chicory (radicchio), citrus, clover, coffee, cotton, cowpeas, cucumbers, dandelions, forestry (ground squirrel/ rodent burrow dust stations for public health use), kiwi, lespedeza, parsley, parsnips, pastures, peppers, potatoes (Irish and sweet), sheep, sorghum, squash (winter and summer), rangeland, Swiss chard, tobacco, and turnips (roots and tops).

      [[Page 57441]]

      In today's Cancellation Order, EPA is approving the registrants' requested cancellations and amendments of the their diazinon end-use products registrations to terminate all uses identified in the List.

      The Agency received a request from the EUP registrant Prentiss Incorporated (EPA company number 655), revoking its voluntary cancellation requests for two products that were included in the September 13, 2001 notice. As a result, Prentox Liquid Household Spray #1 (EPA registration no. 655-419) and Prentox Diazinon 4E (EPA registration no. 655-457) are not included in this cancellation order. EPA did not receive any substantive comments that would merit further review expressing a need of diazinon products for indoor use. Accordingly, the Agency is issuing an

      [[Page 57444]]

      order in this notice canceling the registrations identified in Table 1, as requested by the EUP registrants.

   3. Requests for Voluntary Amendments of End-Use Product Registrations to Terminate Certain Uses

      Pursuant to section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, many EUP registrants submitted requests to amend a number of their diazinon end-use product registrations to terminate the uses identified in the List, or any other uses as specified for each product in the September 13, 2001 Diazinon 6(f) notice and reiterated in Table 2 below. EPA did not receive any comments expressing a need for any of the canceled uses. The registrations for which amendments to terminate specific uses were requested are identified in the following Table 2.

4. Existing Stocks Provisions

   For purposes of this Order, the term ``existing stocks'' is defined, pursuant to EPA's existing stocks policy (56 FR 29362, June 26, 1991), as those stocks of a registered pesticide product which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the amendment or cancellation. The existing stocks provisions of this Cancellation Order are as follows:

   1. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on agricultural crops. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by the registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears instructions for use on the agricultural crops identified in the List, will not be lawful under FIFRA 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation order, except for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may continue to sell or distribute the existing stocks of any product listed in Table 2 that bears instructions for any of the agricultural uses identified in the List after the effective date of the cancellation order.

   2. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on outdoor non-agricultural sites. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by the registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears instructions for use on outdoor non-agricultural sites, will not be lawful under FIFRA 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation order, except for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may continue to sell or distribute the existing stocks of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears instructions for use on outdoor non-agricultural sites after the effective date of the cancellation order.

   3. Distribution or sale of products bearing instructions for use on indoor sites. The distribution or sale of existing stocks by the registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 that bears instructions for use at or on any indoor sites (except mushroom houses), shall not be lawful under FIFRA as of the effective date of the cancellation order, except for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal.

   4. Retail and other distribution or sale of existing stock of products for indoor use.
