🌱EPA Notice on Voluntary Cancellation of Pesticide Registrations

This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits comment on requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel their pesticide registrations. 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. For this notice, EPA has compiled the requests received between April 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025. 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substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of the requests, or the request is withdrawn by the registrant.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.

🌳Withdrawal of Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge Land Protection Plan

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), withdraw the final Land Protection Plan (LPP) for the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) approved on June 15, 2023. Hereafter, the Service will take no actions to acquire lands within the acquisition boundary created by the now withdrawn Muleshoe NWR LPP. The Service has determined that withdrawing the proposal is justified to support President Trump's Executive Order (E.O.) 14154 of January 20, 2025, "Unleashing American Energy." The withdrawal of the LPP will ensure America's lands continue to support energy development, agriculture production, and our local economies.

💵Analysis of H-2A Certification Fees Suspension by the Department of Labor

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the Department of Labor (DOL or Department) is issuing this notice to announce that it is temporarily suspending the collection of H-2A labor certification fees. Implementing a temporary suspension period will allow ETA's Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) to move toward accepting electronic fees, as directed in President Trump's Executive Order 14247, Modernizing Payments To and From America's Bank Account (E.O. 14247). OFLC will be transitioning from collecting fees submitted in paper format (e.g., checks) to implementing a process to receive fee remittances electronically. The temporary suspension of H-2A certification fees will begin on September 2, 2025. During the temporary suspension period, OFLC will not issue invoices for certification fees for H-2A Applications for Temporary Certifications that are certified, and will not seek retroactive payment of fees for those certifications. Any employer that is issued an H-2A certification fee invoice prior to the effective date of the temporary suspension of collections must pay the invoice by the due date. OFLC will announce the end of the temporary suspension of H-2A certification fees via a Federal Register notice.

🍅Termination of Antidumping Duty on Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico

The Commission instituted the subject five-year review on August 1, 2024 to determine whether termination of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on fresh tomatoes from Mexico would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a domestic industry. Effective July 14, 2025, the Department of Commerce ("Commerce") withdrew from and terminated the 2019 Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Duty Investigation on Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico ("2019 Agreement") and issued the antidumping duty order. On July 17, 2025, Commerce published notice in the Federal Register that it was withdrawing from and terminating the 2019 Agreement (90 FR 33363). Accordingly, since there is no longer a suspension agreement of which to conduct a five-year review, the Commission gives notice of the termination of its review involving fresh tomatoes from Mexico.
