What Action is the Agency Taking? This Notice corrects an error that was contained in a September 1 notice of receipt of request for amendments by registrants to delete uses in certain pesticide registrations (71 FR 52071). The September 1 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete both cotton and pome fruit from EPA Registration 264–805, Thiacloprid Technical, and EPA Registration 264–806, Calypso 4 Flowable Insecticide. The Notice should have listed a request to delete only cotton from these registrations. III. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? 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 amended to delete one or more uses. The Act further provides that, before acting on the VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:40 Sep 19, 2006 Jkt 205001 IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use deletion must submit the withdrawal in writing to John Jamula using the methods in ADDRESSES. The Agency will consider written withdrawal requests postmarked no later than February 28, 2007. V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks The Agency has authorized the registrants to sell or distribute product under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after approval of the revision, unless other restrictions have been imposed, as in special review actions.
