SUMMARY:

This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrant 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).

     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 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 eight comments in response to the July 31, 2025,
Federal Register
notice announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit
II. Comments number one and number six, regarded broader questions and concerns related to PFAS usage. Our response. This
action is based on requests from the registrant to voluntarily cancel these product registrations, and as such, those comments
are outside of the scope of this action. Comments number two, number three, number seven and number eight regarded broader
questions and concerns related to pesticide usage. Our response. This action is based on requests from the registrant to voluntarily
cancel these product registrations, and as such, those comments are outside of the scope of this action. For comment number
four the cancellation process was supported; however, it suggests listing the products being canceled and explaining how existing
stocks can be used. Our response. The specific products being canceled in this action are listed in Table 1, and provisions
for disposition of existing stocks are provided in Unit VI. For comment number five, the comment is a request for EPA to issue
more information concerning the reasons for Section 6(f) cancelations and alleges that many registrants use voluntary cancelation
to avoid situations in which the Agency might seek involuntary cancelation, suspension, or some other restriction on products.
The comment specifically requests that FIFRA be amended. Our response. Only Congress may amend FIFRA. FIFRA Section 6(f) sets
out specific procedures that EPA must follow, after it receives a voluntary request to cancel a pesticide product. Registrants
are not required to provide the Agency with a particular reason for seeking voluntary cancelation.

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 March 27, 2026. 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, will be 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 July 31, 2025, (90 FR 36045) (FRL-12880-01-OCSPP). The comment period ends on January 27, 2026.

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.

The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until March
29, 2027, which is 1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the
Federal Register
. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing the 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.

People other than the registrant 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.

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
