Suspension
and
Cancellation
List
Prepared by
Pesticides and
Toxic Substances
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:

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-

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.
