III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of apesticide
product may at any time request that any of itspesticide registrations
be amended to delete one or more uses.The Act further provides that,
before acting on the request, EPAmust publish a notice of receipt of
any such request in theFederal Register. Thereafter, the Administrator
may approve such a request.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request forcancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to James A.Hollins, at the address
given above, postmarked before April 16, 2001, unless indicated
otherwise. This written withdrawal of therequest for cancellation will
apply only to the applicable6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If
the product(s) havebeen subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effectivedate of cancellation and all other provisions of any
earliercancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request
mustalso include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, andto
fulfill any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of
thecancellation order. The orders effecting these
requestedcancellations will generally permit a registrant to sell
ordistribute existing stocks for 1 year after the date thecancellation
request was received by the Agency. This policy isin accordance with
the Agency's statement of policy as prescribedin Federal Register (56
FR 29362) June 26, 1991; (FRL 3846-4).Exception to this general rule
will be made if a product poses arisk concern, or is in noncompliance
with reregistrationrequirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In
all cases,product-specific disposition dates will be given in
thecancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide
productswhich are currently in the United States and which have
beenpackaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to theeffective
date of the cancellation action. Unless the provisionsof an earlier
order apply, existing stocks already in the handsof dealers or users
can be distributed, sold or used legallyuntil they are exhausted,
provided that such further sale and usecomply with the EPA-approved
label and labeling of the affectedproduct(s). Exceptions to these
general rules will be made inspecific cases when more stringent
restrictions on sale,distribution, or use of the products or their
ingredients havealready been imposed, as in Special Review actions, or
where theAgency has identified significant potential risk concerns
associated with a particular chemical.
