If no big objections come in by December 9, 2026, these changes will go through, meaning some pesticides might disappear or have fewer uses soon. This affects farmers, pest controllers, and anyone using these products, so keep an eye out for changes that could impact your work or wallet. ## Abstract This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comments on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registration of certain products and/or to amend their product registrations to terminate one or more uses. In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA provides a periodic notice of receipt addressing requests received by EPA since the last notice of receipt was issued and uses the month and year in the title to help distinguish one document from the other.

If these requests are granted, EPA will issue an order in the Federal Register cancelling the listed product registrations, after which any sale, distribution, or use of the products listed in this document will only be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order. ## Effects PRIA read - Listed pesticide registrations may be cancelled: cost, medium.
