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 15 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 
December 24, 1996 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 deletion.
