Environmental Protection Agency
In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticides atrazine and simazine, and/or to amend their atrazine, simazine, or malathion product registrations to terminate or delete one or more uses. The requests would delete atrazine use in or on roadsides; Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land; conifers, including Christmas tree plantings; timber and forestry; and miscanthus and other perennial bioenergy crops. The requests would delete simazine use in or on shelterbelts and all forestry uses except for Christmas tree plantings. The requests would delete malathion use as a mosquito larvicide and in or on cull piles (including the terms cull dumps, fruit dumps, and cull fruit and vegetable dumps). The requests are limited to the product registrations specified in this notice and would not terminate all of the atrazine, simazine, or malathion 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 registrations have been cancelled/uses deleted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
