EPA Cancels Pesticides, But One Gets a Reprieve
Published Date: 12/19/2025
Notice
Summary
The EPA is officially canceling or ending certain pesticide uses that companies asked to stop back in August 2025. This affects pesticide makers, sellers, and users who must follow new rules starting December 19, 2025. No one objected to these changes, so the cancellations are moving forward smoothly, helping protect people and the environment without surprise costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Certain pesticide registrations canceled
EPA issued a cancellation order effective December 19, 2025, that cancels or amends the uses of the pesticide products listed in Tables 1, 1A, and 2 of the notice. The order applies to the registrants, sellers, and users of the listed products and takes effect on December 19, 2025.
Time-limited sale of existing stocks
Registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of products in Table 1 until December 21, 2026 (one year after publication). For products in Table 1A, registrants may sell and distribute existing stocks until June 21, 2027 (18 months after publication), and products in Table 2 may be sold or distributed under previously approved labeling until June 21, 2027 (18 months). After those dates, sale or distribution is prohibited except for export or proper disposal.
Consumers and others may use existing stocks until supplies exhausted
People other than the registrant (for example, retailers or end users) may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of the canceled products until supplies are exhausted, as long as those actions follow the previously approved labeling. This permission lasts only while supplies remain and must comply with label instructions.
