any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the Administrator 
may approve such a request.

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from 
registrants to delete uses in the three 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

amendment. This 180-day period will also permit interested members of 
the public to intercede with registrants prior to the Agency approval 
of the deletion. (Note: Registration number(s) preceded by * indicate a 
30-day comment period).
