EPA Greenlights Pesticide Cancellations Without a Hitch
Published Date: 8/5/2025
Notice
Summary
The EPA is officially canceling or ending certain pesticide uses because the companies asked for it and no one objected. This means some pesticides will no longer be sold or used after the set deadlines, so farmers and sellers need to follow the new rules. These changes help keep things safe and clear, with no extra costs announced.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Requested Pesticide Registrations Canceled
The EPA has issued an order canceling certain pesticide registrations and ending specific uses that registrants asked to cancel. This follows a December 18, 2024 notice (Table 3 of Unit II) and the Agency received no substantive comments during the 30-day comment period. If you are a farmer or seller, some pesticide products listed in that table will no longer be registered for sale or use under the cancelled uses.
Sales and Use Limited by Order Terms
Any distribution, sale, or use of the products covered by this cancellation order is allowed only under the order's terms, including any existing stocks provisions. That means sellers and users must follow the specific conditions in the cancellation order when selling or using remaining inventory.
