BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0093; FRL-12542-02-OCSPP] Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations and/or Amendments To Terminate Uses (From August 11, 2025, Notice) AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
This cancellation order follows an August 11, 2025, **Federal Register** Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and/or amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the August 11, 2025, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests.
The Agency received one anonymous comment on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. The registrations 279-9546, 94396-15 and 94396-25 were already cancelled on a separate notice; therefore, they have been excluded from this notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses. 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.
DATES: The cancellations and/or amendments are effective February 10, 2026.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments During the public comment period provided, EPA received one anonymous comment in response to the August 11, 2025, **Federal Register** notice announcing the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses of products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. The comment states that this action should terminate the pesticides listed in Unit II and remove the current registrants that are currently listed as being on the list dispensing the Unit II Chemicals. The mislabeled chemicals and tainted products pose potential health risks and could harm our children and pets. The Agency's response is as follows. As noted in the order, the pesticide products listed in Table 1, and the specified uses of the products listed in Table 2 of Unit II are being canceled pursuant to the registrant's voluntary request for cancelation. This action does not address any potential health or environmental risks from pesticide use. However, pursuant to FIFRA and the FFDCA, the EPA continually evaluates existing and proposed pesticide products to ensure that, when applied as instructed, those pesticides will not generally cause unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. IV. Cancellation Order Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby approves the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses of registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled and/or amended to terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations that are subject of this notice is February 10, 2026. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products identified in Tables 1 and 2 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 August 11, 2025 (90 FR 38645) (FRL-12542-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed on September 10, 2025. 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 action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this order is as follows. For: 5383-146 For *5383-146,* Troy Chemical Corporation, the registrant of the product subject to this cancellation notice, requested an existing stocks provision allowing the continued sale and distribution of the affected product until August 10, 2027, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this **Federal Register** . Thereafter, the registrant is prohibited from selling or distributing product 5383-146 identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. For all other voluntary cancellations, the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 until February 10, 2027, which is 1 year after publication of this cancellation order in the **Federal Register** . Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or distributing products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal. Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously approved labeling until August 10, 2027, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation order in this **Federal Register** , unless other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of canceled products and/or products whose labels include the terminated uses until supplies 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 and/or terminated uses. *Authority:* 7 U.S.C. 136 *et seq.* Dated: January 29, 2026.
