II. Receipt of Requests to Cancel and Amend Registrations to Delete
Uses
A. Background
In a memorandum of agreement (Agreement) effective June 7, 2000,
EPA and the basic manufacturers of the active ingredient chlorpyrifos
agreed to several voluntary measures that will reduce the potential
exposure to children associated with chlorpyrifos containing products.
EPA initiated the negotiations with registrants after finding
chlorpyrifos, as currently registered, was an exposure risk especially
to children. As a result of the Agreement, registrants that hold the
pesticide registrations of end-use products containing chlorpyrifos
(who are in large part the customer of these basic manufacturers) have
asked EPA to cancel or amend their registrations for these products.
Pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA announced the Agency's receipt of these
requests from the registrants by a Federal Register notice published on
November 17, 2000 (65 FR 69518) (FRL-6753-3). With respect to the
registration amendments, the registrants have asked EPA to amend end-
use product registrations to delete the following uses: all termite
control uses (these will be phased out); all residential uses (except
for ant and roach baits in child resistant packaging (CRP) and fire ant
mound drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies);
all indoor non-residential uses (except ship holds, industrial plants,
manufacturing plants, food processing plants, containerized baits in
CRP, and processed wood products treated during the manufacturing
process at the manufacturing site or at the mill); all outdoor non-
residential
[[Page 7754]]
sites (except golf courses, road medians, industrial plant sites, fence
posts, utility poles, railroad ties, landscape timbers, logs, pallets,
wooden containers, poles, posts, processed wood products, manhole
covers, and underground utility cable and conduits; and fire ant mound
drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies);
and use on post-bloom apple trees. In addition, the companies agreed to
limit the maximum chlorpyrifos end-use dilution to 0.5% active
ingredient (a.i.) for termiticide uses that will be phased out, limit
the maximum label application rate for outdoor non-residential use on
golf courses, road medians, and industrial plant sites to 1 lb/a.i. per
acre, and either classify all new/amended chlorpyrifos products (except
baits in CRP) as Restricted Use or package the products in large
containers, depending on the formulation type, to ensure that remaining
chlorpyrifos products are not available to homeowners. In return, EPA
stated that with this Agreement, it had no current intention to
initiate any cancellation or suspension proceedings under section 6(b)
or 6(c) of FIFRA with respect to the issues addressed in the Agreement.
In the Federal Register of November 17, 2000, EPA published a
notice of the Agency's receipt of end-use product amendments and
cancellations from registrants that hold the pesticide registrations
containing chlorpyrifos (who are in large part the customer of the
basic manufacturers). These requests were submitted as a result of the
Memorandum of Agreement that was signed on June 7, 2000 between EPA and
the basic manufacturers of chlorpyrifos. A copy of the Memorandum of
Agreement that was signed on June 7, 2000 is located in docket control
number OPP-34203D.
B. Requests for Voluntary Cancellation of End-Use Products
Pursuant to the Agreement and FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(A), several
registrants have submitted requests for voluntary cancellation of
registrations for their end-use products. The registrations for which
cancellations were requested are identified in the following Table 1.

In the Federal Register notice of November 17, 2000, EPA requested
public comment on the voluntary cancellation and use deletion requests,
and provided a 30-day comment period. The registrants requested that
the Administrator waive the 180-day comment period provided under FIFRA
section 6(f)(1)(C).
III. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to section 6(f) of FIFRA, EPA is approving the requested
use deletions and the requested registration cancellations.
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the registrations identified in
Table 2 are hereby amended to delete the following uses: All post-
construction termite control uses, except spot and local treatment (
use of such products for spot and local treatment will be prohibited
after December 31, 2002 by product labeling); all other termite control
uses, effective December 31, 2004 (unless EPA has made a decision prior
to that date that preconstruction use may continue); all residential
uses (except for ant and roach baits in child resistant packaging (CRP)
and fire ant mound drenches for public health purposes by licensed
applicators and mosquito control for public health purposes by public
health agencies); all indoor non-residential, non-agricultural uses
(except ship holds, industrial plants, manufacturing plants, food
processing plants, containerized baits in CRP, and processed wood
products treated during the manufacturing process at the manufacturing
site or at the mill); all outdoor non-residential, non-agricultural
sites (except golf courses, road medians, industrial plant sites, fence
posts, utility poles, railroad ties, landscape timbers, logs, pallets,
wooden containers, poles, posts, processed wood products, manhole
covers, and underground utility cable and conduits; and fire ant mound
drenches for public health purposes by licensed applicators and
mosquito control for public health purposes by public health agencies);
and use on post-bloom apple trees (except for tree trunk use). The
Agency also orders that the registrations identified in Table 1 are
hereby canceled. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of
the products identified in Tables 1-2 in a manner inconsistent with the
terms of this Order or the Existing Stock Provisions in Unit IV. of
this notice will be considered a violation of section 12(a)(2)(K) of
