In its letter to the Agency, MacDermid Agricultural Solutions waived the 180-day comment period and opted for a 30-day comment period instead. The Notice of Request to Voluntary Amend to Terminate Uses of the above registration and specified uses was published in the Federal Register on October 3, 2017, and the comment period ended on November 2, 2017. The Agency did not receive any public comment in response to this Notice, nor a written withdrawal of the use deletion from MacDermid Agricultural Solutions. Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f), the Agency hereby approves the requested amendment to terminate uses of Belmont 2.7 SF identified in Table 1 above. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registration identified in Table 1 above is hereby amended to terminate the affected uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the subject product in a manner inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth below will be considered a violation of FIFRA. A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. 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 this action terminating uses. In accordance with the Order to Amend Pesticide Registrations to Terminate Uses published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2017, you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling until June 26, 2019. Persons other than the registrant may continue Page 3 of 3 EPA Reg. No. 400-577 Decision No. 525283 to sell and/or use existing stocks of products bearing old labeling until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the product with the terminated use. After June 26, 2019, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3. Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance. Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6. The Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable. Please note that the record for this product currently contains the following CSFs: Basic CSF dated 11/27/2015 Alternate CSF 1 dated 11/27/2015 Alternate CSF 2 dated 03/13/2017 Alternate CSF 3 dated 03/13/2017 Any CSFs other than those listed above are superseded/no longer valid.
