SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Introduction

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA, provides that a registrant of a pesticide 
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations 
be amended to delete one or more uses. The Act further provides that, 
before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of 
any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the Administrator 
may approve such a request.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from 
registrants to delete uses in the nine pesticide registrations listed 
in the following Table 1. These registrations are listed by 
registration number, product names, active ingredients and the specific 
uses deleted. Users of these products who desire continued use on crops 
or sites being deleted should contact the applicable registrant before 
July 18, 1995 to discuss withdrawal of the applications for amendment. 
This 90-day period will also permit interested members of the public to 
intercede with registrants prior to the Agency approval of the
