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

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from 
registrants to delete uses in the seven pesticide registrations listed 
in the following Table 1. These registrations are listed by 
registration number, product names, active ingredients and the specific

or sites being deleted should contact the applicable registrant before

amendment. This 180-day period will also permit interested members of 
the public to intercede with registrants prior to the Agency approval
