SUMMARY:
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of products containing the pesticides: Aldicarb, Aliphatic Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows an August 12, 2009, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants to voluntarily cancel their Aldicarb, Aliphatic Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP product registrations.

In the August 12, 2009 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 within this period. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. 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 Aldicarb, Aliphatic Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

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 August 12, 2009, Federal Register notice announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of Aldicarb, Aliphatic Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested cancellations of Aldicarb, Aliphatic Solvents, Carbaryl, Copper Salts, Copper Sulfate, Cypermethrin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Piperonyl Butoxide, Resmethrin, 2,4-DB, and 2,4-DP registrations identified inTable 1. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registrations identified in Table 1 are hereby canceled. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 in a manner inconsistent with any of the Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be considered a violation of FIFRA.
V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA 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 Administrator may approve such a request.
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 cancellation order issued in this notice includes the following existing stocks provisions.
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks until all stocks are exhausted, unless other factors (such as hazard) necessitate modified terms. Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration requirements, or is subject to a data call-in.
Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a special review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.
