Pesticides Fade Away: EPA Grants Company Exit Requests
Published Date: 8/5/2025
Notice
Summary
The EPA is officially canceling or changing certain pesticide uses because the companies asked for it and no one objected. This means some pesticides will no longer be sold or used as before, starting now. Farmers, sellers, and users should check the new rules to avoid any trouble and use up existing stocks properly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Certain Pesticide Uses Canceled
The EPA is issuing a cancellation order for certain pesticide registrations and/or terminating specific uses that registrants requested in the May 07, 2024 notice. The Agency received no substantive comments during the 180-day comment period and therefore granted the requested cancellations, meaning some pesticides will no longer be sold or used as before.
Existing Stocks Must Follow Order
Any distribution, sale, or use of the products covered by this cancellation order is allowed only under the terms of the order, including any provisions about existing stocks. Sellers and users must follow those existing-stocks provisions when handling products subject to the cancellations.
