List
Prepared by
Pesticides and

Enforcement
Division
This booklet has been compiled for the purpose of summarizing and
clarifying Agency actions on those pesticides which have been
suspended, cancelled, or otherwise restricted. It excludes cancella-
tions on those use patterns that were cancelled by Pesticide Regula-
tion Notices based on "residues," "no residues," and zero
tolerances," as well as notices of cancellations to single registrants.^
Pesticides which have been voluntarily cancelled by some but not all
registrants, and have not met or exceeded "risk criteria" established
by the Special Pesticide Review Division are also excluded.
This list is not a statement of Agency policy, but is primarily de-
signed as a quick reference guide to be used by Regional EPA in-
spectors. However, the list can also serve as a general reference for
anyone involved or interested in pesticide regulatory work.
Material for this edition of the booklet was compiled as of October
1979. This is the third edition of this publication. Future Agency ac-
tions will necessitate updating and republishing this booklet, and
this will continue to be done periodically.
Comments on the accuracy and completeness of this list should be
sent to:

Cancelled, all uses except those in the following
list:
1. subsurface ground insertion for termite control.
2. dipping of non-food roots and tops.
3. moth-proofing by manufacturing processes in a
closed system.
In excess of 1.5%, labeling which bears directions
for home use is unacceptable, and a warning
against home use is required. The following
statements must appear in a prominent position:
"Do not use or store in or around the home" and
"Do not allow domestic animals to graze treated
area."
Voluntary cancellation, all products. The sale,
distribution and use of existing stocks is permited.
All registered products have been eliminated. In
some instances these products were voluntarily
cancelled, in others lindane was substituted for
BHC non-gamma isomers. These non-gamma
isomers may be sold, manufactured or distributed
for use in the United States.
Cancelled, products intended for:
1. direct contact with the skin or can be expected
to be in direct or continuous contact with the skin.
2. use in textiles or other materials likely to come
in contact with the skin.
3. household use.
Voluntary cancellation, all products.
Under the provisions of the Administrator's accep-
tance of the settlement plan to phase out certain
uses of the pestcides chlordane and heptachlor,
most registered products containing chlordane will
be effectively cancelled or their applications for
registration denied by December 31, 1980. A sum-
mary of those uses not affected by this settlement,
or a previous suspension, as well as a summary

settlement, including the pest to the controlled,

by application at distances closer than otherwise
prohibited, must be posted with signs stating:
"Contaminated: No Fishing." Signs must re-
main for one year after a fish kill has occurred
or for six months after lesser contamination
unless laboratory analysis shows endrin residues
in the edible portion of fish to be less than 0.3
parts per million (ppm).

Labeling for metaldehyde snail and slug baits must
have the following statement on the front panel of
the product label:
This pesticide may be fatal to children and dogs or
other pets if eaten. Keep children and pets out of
treated area.
All registered products containing Mirex were ef-
fectively cancelled on December 1, 1977. (A
technical Mirex product made by Hooker Chemical
Company is unaffected by this Settlement Agree-
ment. However, since Mirex produced under this
registration may be used only in the formulation of
other pesticide products, the registration was
useless after December 1, 1977). All existing stocks
of Mirex within the continental U.S. was not to be
sold, distributed, or used after June 30, 1978.
Harvester Bait 300, Reg. No. 38962-5, may only
be used for the control of the pheidole ant, Argen-
tine ant, and fire ant on pineapples in Hawaii. The
effective date of cancellation for these uses was
December 1, 1977; existing stocks as of December
1, 1977 may not be applied aerially after December
31, 1977, but may be sold and used (other than
aerially) indefinitely.
The application of Harvester Bait 300 is subject to
the following restrictions:
1. Aerial Application: No longer permitted.
2. Ground Application
a. Permissible in all areas of infestation pro-
vided that there is no ground application to
aquatic and heavily forested areas or areas
where run-off or flooding will contaminate such
areas.
b. Treatment shall be confined to areas where
the imported fire ants are causing significant
problems.
D Note: the following definition is included in
order to clarify the ground application restrictions:
Aquatic areas: encompasses without limitation
estuaries, rivers, streams, wetlands (those land and
water areas subject to inundation by tidal, riverine,
or lacustrine flowage), lakes, ponds, and other
bodies of water.
Voluntary cancellation, all products.
Product labels amended to eliminate use in wind-
breakers and baby pants.

All agency heads are to prevent the use of
chemical toxicants in any Federal mammal/bird
damage control program or on any Federal lands
where the field use of such toxicant is being
employed to kill a predatory mammal or bird, or
where the field use of such toxicants causes any
secondary poisoning effects on mammals, birds, or
reptiles. However, chemical toxicants can be used
on an emergency basis when no other method is
available and the use of the toxicants is essential to
protect human health and safety, to preserve a
wildlife species threatened with extinction, or to
prevent substantial irretrievable damage to na-
tionally significant natural resources. Notwithstand-
ing these provisions, agency heads may authorize
the use of sodium cyanide in Federal programs or
on Federal lands subject to the 26 restrictions cited
in this booklet.

other similar practices applied to it. Fence rows

3. The M-44 device shall not be used solely to take
animals for the value of their fur.
4. The M-44 device shall only be used in instances
where actual livestock losses due to predation by
wild canids are occurring. M-44 devices may also
be used prior to recurrence of seasonal depreda-
tion, but only when a chronic problem exists in a
specific area. In each case, full documentation of
livestock depredation, including evidence that such
losses were caused by wild canids, will be required
before appliation of the M-44 is undertaken.
5. The M-44 device shall not be used in: (1) Na-

threatened or endangered species might be
adversely affected. Each applicator shall be issued
a map which clearly indicates such areas.
7. The M-44 device shall not be placed within 200
feet of any lake, stream, or other body of water.

tions and shall be serviced as required.
13. Used sodium cyanide capsules shall be dis-
posed of by deep burial or at a proper landfill site.
14. An M-44 device shall be removed from an area
if, after 30 days, there is no sign that a target
predator has visited the site.
15. Damaged or non-functional M-44 devices shall
be removed from the field.
