Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts; Amendment to Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order to terminate uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of
products containing the pesticide sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows a
July 1, 2009 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Request from a
sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate registrant to voluntarily amend to
terminate uses of their sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate preservation of
cotton fabric, preservation of wood veneer, and preservation of
alginate pastes product registrations. These are not the last sodium
dimethyldithiocarbamate products registered for use in the United
States. In the July 1, 2009 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue
an order implementing the amendment to terminate uses, unless the
Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period
that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the
registrant withdrew its request within this period. The Agency did not
receive any comments on the notice. Further, the registrant did not
withdraw its request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a
cancellation order granting the requested amendment to terminate uses.
Any distribution, sale, or use of the sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate
products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellation is effective November 12, 2009.
