Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 
notice of receipt of request for amendments by registrants to delete

request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any request in the 
Federal Register.

postmarked no later than October 22, 2007 or May 25, 2007, whichever is 
applicable. Comments must be received on or before October 22, 2007 or 
May 25, 2007, for those registrations where the 180-day comment period 
has been waived.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before
