AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of
October 28, 2005, EPA issued a notice
of intent to approve amended
Pennsylvania and Virginia Plans for the
certification of applicators of restricted

solicited comments from the public on
the proposed action to approve the
amended Pennsylvania and Virginia

Pennsylvania and Virginia submitted to
EPA contained several statutory,
regulatory, and programmatic changes

proposed amendments establish new
commercial categories for vertebrate
pest control. One public comment was
received that had no specific

made based on this comment. EPA
hereby approves the amended
Pennsylvania and Virginia Plans.

Notice of Receipt of Requests to
Voluntarily Cancel Certain Pesticide
Registrations; Technical Correction
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with section
6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), as amended, EPA issued a
notice of receipt of request by registrants
to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide
registrations in the Federal Register of
February 22, 2006. The notice
announced that 90 pesticide
registrations would be canceled unless a
cancellation request was withdrawn by
August 21, 2006. The 90 registrations
were listed in Table 1. This notice
corrects information in Table 1 for one
of the registrations. EPA Registration
Number 000100–01074 (Cyclone
Concentrate Herbicide) was erroneously
included in the February 22, 2006
Notice, therefore with this technical
correction EPA is removing EPA
Registration Number 000100–01074
(Cyclone Concentrate Herbicide) from
Table 1 of the February 22, 2006 Federal
Register Notice. A request to voluntarily
cancel EPA Registration Number
000100–01074 (Cyclone Concentrate
Herbicide) was previously published in
the Federal Register of October 28,
2005. The terms of the October 28, 2005
Notice take precedent over the
erroneous inclusion of this registration
