Sodium Metasilicate; Notice of Receipt of Request to Voluntarily Cancel Uses of Sodium Metasilicate Pesticide Registration

Résumé

In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of a request by the registrant to voluntarily cancel their registration for Misty Quat-22, (EPA Reg. No. 10807-106) product containing the pesticide sodium metasilicate. The request would terminate sodium metasilicate use in or on floors, walls, counter tops in homes, schools, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, public rooms, food processing plants, and in other places where efficient cleaning and antimicrobial action is desired. The request would not terminate the last sodium metasilicate product registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant this request at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the request, or unless the registrant withdraws their request within this period. Upon acceptance of this request, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
