III. What is the Agency Authority for Taking This Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide

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.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use deletion must 
submit such withdrawal in writing to James A. Hollins, at the address 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked on or before February
