    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 canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further 
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice 
of receipt of any such request in theFederal Register. Thereafter, 
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such 
a request.

    Existing stocks are defined in EPA's existing stocks policy (56 FR 
29362, June 26, 1991) as those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action or amendment of their registrations. Any 
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks, except as provided in 
the amendment or cancellation order, would be considered a violation of 
section 12(a)(2)(K) and/or 12(a)(1)(A) of FIFRA.
    The cancellation order issued in this Notice includes the following 
existing stocks provisions.
    1. Distribution or sale of products by the registrant labeled for 
use on apples, broccoli raab, cabbage, collards, fennel, grapes, head 
lettuce, lespedeza, spinach, tomatillo, and trefoil:
    The registrant of any product listed in Table 1 or 2 may distribute 
or sell existing stocks of the product bearing labels for use on 
apples, broccoli raab, cabbage, collards, fennel, grapes, head lettuce, 
lespedeza, spinach, tomatillo, or trefoil for one year after the 
effective date of this cancellation/amendment order. The distribution 
or sale of existing stocks by the registrant of any product listed in 
Table 1 or 2 will not be lawful under FIFRA one year after the 
effective date of the cancellation or amendment order, except for the 
purposes of shipping such stocks for export, consistent with section 17 
of FIFRA, or for proper disposal.
    2. Distribution, sale, or use of products by persons other than the 
registrant labeled for use on apples, broccoli raab, cabbage, collards, 
fennel, grapes, head lettuce, lespedeza, spinach, tomatillo, and 
trefoil.
