If no big objections come in by December 14, 2026, these changes will go through, affecting farmers, sellers, and users of these pesticides. This means some products might disappear from shelves soon, so folks should pay attention and act fast if they want to comment. ## Abstract This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comments on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registrations of certain products and 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. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of the requests or the requests are withdrawn by the registrant. 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 - Three Pesticide Registrations May Be Canceled: cost, medium.
