EPA cancels Rozol Prairie Dog Bait in four states

Date:08-11-2011

On August 8, 2011, EPA approved an application from Liphatech (the product registrant) to amend the label to remove Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota from the list of states where use of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait (active ingredient: chlorophacinone) is authorized under FIFRA. On the same day, EPA issued an immediately effective cancellation order to ensure that existing stocks (i.e, stocks still labeled for use in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota) are not used in any of those four states. The registrant must re-label any existing stocks still within their possession and control to reflect the new label restrictions. Any existing stocks of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait that are outside of the registrant’s possession and control are still restricted from use in those four states. EPA’s action does not affect the use of Rozol Prairie Dog Bait in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming; but existing stocks in those states are still subject to notice requirements to ensure users are aware of the new use prohibitions applicable in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
