distribute existing stocks of this product until December 31, 2019. The

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the March 5, 2019 Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of the
products listed in Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit II.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit II.
Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit II. are
canceled. The effective date of these cancellations is specified in the
DATES section. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the
products identified in Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit II. in a manner
inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of existing
stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be a violation of FIFRA.
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 March
5, 2019 (84 FR 7899) (FRL-9988-75). The comment period closed on
September 3, 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
cancellation action. The existing stocks provisions for the products
subject to this order are as follows:
The registrant of 432-1477, listed in Table 1, requested the
cancellation to be effective on December 31, 2018, therefore, the
registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of these
products until December 31, 2019, which is 1 year after the effective
date of the cancellation. Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from
selling or distributing the product listed in Table 1, except for
export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper
disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1A, the
registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of
products listed in Table 1A of Unit II. until 1 year after the
publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register, the date
is specified in the DATES section. Thereafter, the registrants are
prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 1A,
except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o),
or proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1 and Table 1A of Unit
II. until existing stocks 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.
