DCNA (dicloran), Ziram, Diquat Dibromide, and Chloropicrin; Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Amend Registrations to Terminate Certain Uses

In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to voluntarily amend their DCNA (dicloran), ziram, diquat dibromide, and chloropicrin product registrations to terminate or delete uses. The requests would delete DCNA use on potatoes, ziram use on blackberries, diquat dibromide use on soybean and sorghum, and chloropicrin use on mushroom casing, potting soil, and small area seed beds when using hand-held fumigation devices. The requests would not terminate the last DCNA, ziram, diquat dibromide, and chloropicrin 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 its requests. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted after the uses are deleted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
