More Pesticides Hit the EPA Exit: Stock Up or Ship Out
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The EPA is officially canceling or ending certain pesticide uses that companies asked to stop back in August 2025. This change affects farmers, pesticide sellers, and anyone using these products, with the new rules kicking in on February 10, 2026. If you have leftover products, you can use or sell them only as the EPA allows, so plan ahead to avoid surprises or extra costs!
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.
Certain Pesticide Registrations Canceled Feb 10, 2026
The EPA canceled the pesticide registrations listed in Tables 1 and 2, and that cancellation is effective February 10, 2026. This change applies to farmers, pesticide sellers, and anyone using the listed products, who must follow the terms of the cancellation order after that date.
One-Year Existing Stocks Sale Window
For most canceled products listed in Table 1, registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks until February 10, 2027 (one year after the cancellation), after which sale or distribution is prohibited except for export or proper disposal. Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until supplies are exhausted so long as use is consistent with the previously approved labeling.
Extended 18‑Month Stocks Rule for Some Products
Two categories have an 18‑month existing‑stocks allowance: product 5383-146 (Troyshield FSP40) may be sold and distributed until August 10, 2027, and products amended in Table 2 may be sold under previous labeling until August 10, 2027. After August 10, 2027, those products may no longer be sold or distributed except for export or proper disposal.
Specific Uses Terminated: Tobacco and Residential Turf
EPA amended registrations to terminate specific uses: registration 42750-58 (Glyphosate 62% isopropylamine salt) has 'Tobacco' use terminated, and registration 85678-4 (Ethephon 78%) has residential turf/lawns, institutional turf, parks, recreational fields, and sod farm uses terminated. If you grow tobacco or manage residential/institutional turf, these terminated uses take effect February 10, 2026.
Sale/Use Inconsistent with Order Is Prohibited
Any sale, distribution, or use of the canceled products that is inconsistent with the existing‑stocks provisions in this order will be a violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). You must follow the disposition rules or face enforcement under FIFRA.

2026-19072, Rescission of the Greenhouse Gas Findings for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants and Repeal of Regulations for Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under Clean Air Act Section 111
The EPA is proposing to cancel all greenhouse gas rules for fossil fuel power plants, saying the law doesn’t let them regulate these emissions for climate reasons. This change affects power plants across the U.S. and could impact future pollution limits and costs. Comments on this proposal are open until November 2, 2026, so now’s the time to speak up!
2026-19071, Partial Repeal of the Carbon Pollution Standards for Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units
The EPA is rolling back most of the 2024 rules that limited carbon pollution from fossil fuel power plants. This change affects coal and gas plants by easing some strict limits on emissions and carbon capture technology. The new rules kick in on November 16, 2026, potentially saving money for power plants but raising questions about pollution control.
2026-18317, Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”
The purpose of this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking is for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army ("the agencies") to supplement and seek additional comment on certain aspects of an earlier proposal, published on November 20, 2025, to revise the regulations defining the scope of waters federally covered under the Clean Water Act in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. As stated in the agencies' November 20, 2025 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the agencies intend for this rulemaking to provide greater regulatory certainty and increase Clean Water Act program predictability and consistency by clarifying the definition of "waters of the United States." After consideration of the public comments received on the NPRM, the agencies are issuing this notice to supplement the NPRM with additional regulatory options on certain aspects of the proposed rule.
2026-14112, Amendments and Nonconformance Penalties for Model Year 2027 and Later Heavy-Duty Highway Engines and Amendments to Inducement Provisions for SCR-Equipped Diesel Engines
Starting with model year 2027, the EPA is updating rules for big truck engines to make sure they last longer and pollute less. They’re also letting engine makers pay penalties if their engines don’t meet standards, and tightening rules for special pollution-control systems on diesel engines. These changes affect truck and engine makers and kick in soon, with public feedback due by August 29, 2026.
2026-13667, Minor New Source Review Program Air Permitting Public Participation Requirements for State Implementation Plans
The EPA wants to give states more freedom to decide how much public input is needed when approving small air pollution sources or changes. This means local air agencies can tailor public participation to fit their community’s needs while still protecting air quality. If you’re involved in air permits, watch for comment deadlines and possible virtual hearings this summer!
2026-13263, Revisions To Establish the Sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 6) for Public Water Systems
The EPA is rolling out the sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 6) to check for new, sneaky chemicals in public drinking water. Big water systems serving 3,300+ people and some smaller ones will test for 30 different contaminants, including certain PFAS and pesticides, to keep our water safe. Comments and feedback are open until late August 2026, and the EPA will host fun online meetings to chat about the plan!
