III. Loss of Active Ingredients

    Unless the request for cancellation is withdrawn, one pesticide 
active ingredient will no longer appear in any registered products. 
Those who are concerned about the potential loss of this active 
ingredient for pesticidal use are encouraged to work directly with the 
registrant(s) to explore the possibility of withdrawing their request 
for cancellation. The active ingredient is listed in the following 
Table 3, with the CAS Number and EPA Company Number.

                     Registrant's Request to Cancel

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. What Is the Agency's Authority for Taking This Action?

    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.

V. 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 May 1, 2000. 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.

VI. 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

[[Page 59766]]

stocks for one year after the date the cancellation request was 
received by the Agency. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's 
statement of policy as prescribed in Federal Register dated June 26, 
1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL-3846-4). Exception 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.

    Dated: September 29, 1999.

Acting Director, Information Resources & Services Division, Office of 
Pesticide Programs.
