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.
