III. Procedures for withdrawal of request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to James A. Hollins, at the address
given above, postmarked before February 15, 1996. This written
withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the
applicable 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the product(s)
have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date
of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation
action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also include a
commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any
applicable unsatisfied data requirements.
IV. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for one year after the date the cancellation request was
received. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of
policy as prescribed in Federal Register No. 123, Vol. 56, dated June
26, 1991. Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product
poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration
requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-
specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide
productswhich are currently in the United States and which have
beenpackaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the
effectivedate of the cancellation action. Unless the provisions of
anearlier order apply, existing stocks already in the hands ofdealers
or users can be distributed, sold or used legally untilthey are
exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-
approved label and labeling of the affected product(s). Exceptions to
these general rules will be made in specific cases when more stringent
restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products or their
ingredients have already been imposed, as in Special Review actions, or
where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns
associated with a particular chemical.
