Final Use Order Cancellation, Termination for Several Chlorpyrifos Products
EPA is issuing a final order terminating food processing plant (food and non-food area) uses for Chemstarr’s “Chlorpyrifos 61.5% MUP” and food uses for Tide International’s “Chlorpyrifos 4 EC.”
EPA is also cancelling two Central Garden & Pet chlorpyrifos products “Equil Chlorpyrifos ULV 1” and “Equil Chlorpyrifos ULV 2.” EPA published the Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants to voluntarily cancel or terminate uses for these product registrations on April 3.
After considering the two submitted comments, EPA is finalizing its decision to accept the registrants’ voluntary requests to cancel or terminate uses for these products. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks is permitted only in accordance with the terms and existing stocks provisions of the final order.
EPA expects to issue a proposed rule this year to revoke the tolerances associated with all but the 11 food and feed crop uses identified in its 2020 Proposed Interim Decision, which could decrease average annual pounds of chlorpyrifos applied in the U.S. by 70%.
