Methyl Parathion; Notice of Receipt of Request to Voluntarily Cancel Pesticide Registrations

Riepilogo

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 requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of products containing the pesticide methyl parathion. The requests would delete methyl parathion use in or on alfalfa, almonds, barley, canola/rapeseed, corn (field, pop, and sweet), cotton, grass (forage), oats, onions, potatoes (sweet and white), rice, rye, soybeans, sunflowers, walnuts, and wheat. The requests would terminate the last methyl parathion products registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant these requests 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 requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registration has been cancelled only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
