AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a May 20, 2014 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the May 20, 2014 Federal Register notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received comments on the May 20, 2014 Federal Register notice but none merited its further review of the requests. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this cancellation order, including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES:
The cancellations are effective August 6, 2014.

The allethrin series of pyrethroid insecticides includes the Product Chemical (PC) codes for: Bioallethrin (004003), esbiol (004004), esbiothrin (004007, formerly 004003/004004), and pynamin forte (004005). The technical registrants for the allethrins, Sumitomo Chemical Company Limited (Sumitomo) and Valent BioSciences Corporation (Valent), cancelled all of the allethrins technical products effective September 30, 2015, and cancelled their allethrins end-use product registrations effective December 31, 2016. Because the allethrins technical products have been cancelled, several other registrants for allethrins end-use products listed in this notice have requested cancellation with dates consistent with those specified for the Valent and Sumitomo allethrins end-use products. The cancellation of the end-use products listed in Table 2 of this unit are effective December 31, 2016.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments
During the public comment period, EPA received three comments. One of the comments received was submitted by the registrant Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. c/o Nisso America, Inc. (Nisso) that explained the importance for maintaining the existing tepraloxydim tolerances for importation purposes through 2018. This request does not pertain to the voluntary cancellation of the registrant's products (008033-00012 and 008033-00013), which have never been marketed in the United States.
The two remaining comments received pertained to pesticide concerns in general. These two comments did not contain information about any specific product cancellation request. For these reasons, the Agency does not believe that the three comments submitted during the comment period, which referenced importation tolerances and general pesticide concerns, merit further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary cancellation.
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 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled. The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this notice is August 6, 2014. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI. are 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 May 20, 2014 (79 FR 28920) (FRL-9909-40). The comment period closed on June 19, 2014.
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.
A. All Products in Table 1 of Unit II. except 000264-00806, 008033-00012, 008033-00013, 054382-00003, 067071-00053, 071368-00062, 087290-00014, 087290-00021)
The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until August 6, 2015, which is 1 year after the publication of this cancellation order in the Federal Register . Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit II., 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 products listed in Table 1 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.
B. Product 000264-00806
In a letter to the Agency, the registrant had requested to voluntarily cancel all of its current thiacloprid product and domestic use registrations. In doing so, the registrant requested an 18- month time period to sell and distribute existing stocks of this product. The registrant may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of product listed in Table 1 of Unit II. until Monday, February 8, 2016, which is 1 year and 6 months after the publication of this cancellation order in the Federal Register . Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from selling or distributing product listed in Table 1 of Unit II., except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of product listed in Table 1 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 product.

The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 2 of Unit II. until December 31, 2016. Thereafter, as of January 1, 2017, registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 2 of Unit II., except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17, or proper disposal.
