The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a notice about receiving requests from registrants to either voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations or amend them to terminate specific uses. These actions are in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The EPA plans to approve these requests unless there are significant public comments for reconsideration or the registrants withdraw their requests. Any sale or use of affected products after cancellations and terminations will only be allowed if it complies with the final order's terms.
Simple Explanation
The EPA got letters from companies saying they want to stop making or change some bug and plant killer products, and the EPA is planning to agree unless people say something really important that changes their minds.
