Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
cancellation order to terminate certain

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 the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period,
the Administrator may approve such a

This cancellation order will not
prevent any sale or distribution of
product to any end use registrant or
supplemental distributor (‘‘Distributor’’)
bearing previously approving labeling
before December 31, 2007, and will not
prevent any sale or distribution of such
product by retailers. Furthermore, this
cancellation order will not prevent the
sale or distribution of such product by
Distributors after that date if such sale
or distribution is for purposes of (i)
return of material to Amvac, (ii) proper

There is a practical analytical method utilizing liquid
chromatography/tandem mass spectroscopy (lc/ms/ms) for enforcement with
a limit of detection that allows for monitoring of food with residues
at or above tolerance levels. The method limit of quantitation (LOQ) is
0.01 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) and the method limit of detection (LOD)
is 0.005 mg/kg in wheat matrices.
