EPA Cancellation Order for Voluntarily Requested Pesticide Product Registrations (July 31, 2025 Notice Follow-Up)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a formal cancellation order for a set of pesticide product registrations that were voluntarily relinquished by the registrant. This action is taken under the authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which governs the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States. The process began with a July 31, 2025, Federal Register notice announcing the registrant's requests to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. EPA opened a 180-day public comment period at that time to allow substantive input that might warrant further Agency review. No such substantive comments were received, and the registrant did not withdraw their cancellation requests during this period. As a result, EPA has now formally issued the cancellation order, rendering the listed pesticide registrations null and void. However, distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of these products may still be permitted under specific terms outlined in the cancellation order, including any existing stocks provisions that allow for the orderly phase-out of remaining inventory. Affected parties — including pesticide distributors, retailers, commercial applicators, and end users — must comply with the terms of the cancellation order. Continued sale or use outside the permitted existing stocks provisions would constitute a violation of FIFRA.
