II. What Does this Correction Do?

    The original cancellation order for EPA Registration No. 44891-6, 
an antifouling paint product containing tributyltin methacrylate, was 
published in the Federal Register on February 16, 2005 (70 FR 
7941)(OPP-2004-0365; FRL-7699-6). Today's notice corrects the effective 
date of cancellation as stated in that notice consistent with the 
registrant's request for voluntary cancellation and to allow 
formulation of the registrant's last remaining technical material. The 
Agency received a March 7, 2005 request from the registrant seeking 
such correction. The effective date of the cancellation cited in the 
February 16, 2005 notice was the date of publication of that notice (or 
February 16, 2005); the corrected effective date of cancellation is 
December 1, 2005. The change in the effective date of the cancellation 
extends the period during which the registrant may formulate the 
product but does not increase the overall amount of TBT material that 
will be available to be used for formulation. The technical material 
that will be available to be used for formulation during this time 
period was all within the registrant's possession and control at the 
time the registrant requested voluntary cancellation. The correction 
does not affect the existing stocks provision set forth in the 
cancellation order and the February 16, 2005 notice. The registration 
affected by this correction and the effective date of cancellation are 
shown in the table below.

    The February 16, 2005 cancellation order is hereby corrected as

paragraph, the second sentence now reading ``Accordingly, the Agency 
orders that the tributyltin methacrylate registration identified in the

registration identified in the Table of Unit II is canceled effective 
December 1, 2005.''
