Methyl Parathion, Receipt of Requests for Cancellation; Cancellation Order

The companies that hold the pesticide registrations of pesticide products containing methyl parathion (O,O-dimethyl-O-(4- nitrophenyl) phosphorothioate) have asked EPA to cancel their registrations for these products. Pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is announcing the Agency's receipt of these voluntary cancellation requests from the registrants. These requests for voluntary cancellation are the result of an agreement regarding the registration of products containing methyl parathion reached between EPA and the registrants. Given the risks associated with use of methyl parathion under the existing terms and conditions of use, EPA is granting the requests for voluntary cancellation. The voluntary cancellation is effective today, with the publication of this document in the Federal Register, which contains the Cancellation Order. As of today, any distribution, sale, or use of canceled methyl parathion products will only be permitted if such distribution, sale, or use is consistent with the terms of the Cancellation Order set forth in this document. DATE: The cancellations are effective on October 27, 1999. FOR FURTHER
