III. Loss of Active Ingredients

    Unless the requests for cancellation are withdrawn, two pesticide 
active ingredients will no longer appear in any registered products. 
Those who are concerned about the potential loss of these active 
ingredients for pesticidal use are encouraged to work directly with the 
registrants to explore the possibility of withdrawing their request for 
cancellation. The active ingredients are listed in the following Table 
3, with the EPA Company and CAS Number.


   Table 3. -- Active Ingredients Which Would Disappear as A Result of  
                     Registrants' Requests to Cancel

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    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 December 31, 19960 days after 
publication.] 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.

V. 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 1 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 (56 FR 29362) June 26, 1991; [FRL 3846-
4]. 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 products 
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, 
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be 
distributed, sold or used legally until they 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.
