VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are 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.
If the request for use termination is
granted as discussed above, the Agency
intends to issue a cancellation order that
will allow the registrant to continue to
sell and distribute existing stocks of
products bearing old labeling for 18
months after the date of the use
termination order. Persons other than
the registrant are allowed to continue to
sell and/or use existing stocks of
products bearing old labeling until such
stocks are exhausted, provided that such
use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled product.
The order will specifically prohibit any
use of existing stocks that is not
consistent with such previously
approved labeling. If, as the Agency
currently intends, the final cancellation
order contains the existing stocks
provision just described, the order will
be sent only to the affected registrants
of the cancelled products. If the Agency
determines that the final cancellation
order should contain existing stocks
provisions different than the ones just
described, the Agency will publish the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
