a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Thereafter,

BILLING CODE 6560–50–S
On December 15, 2004, EPA
published a Notice of Receipt of Request
to Voluntarily Terminate Certain Uses
(69 FR 75061). That notice contained
the statement: ‘‘The registrant will
retain use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir
Christmas trees in North Carolina...’’ On
January 21, 2005, during the allowed
timeframe set out in the December 15,
2004 notice, EPA received a withdrawal
request from the registrant that replaced
VerDate Aug<31>2005
an exclusion from termination for
Christmas trees in North Carolina with
an exclusion from termination for
Christmas trees nationwide. EPA did
not make note of this withdrawal in its
October 10, 2007 order and instead
reiterated the statement‘‘The registrant
will retain use of Di-Syston 15G on
Fraser fir Christmas trees in North
Carolina’’ without mention of how
Christmas trees outside of North
Carolina would be affected. Today’s
action is intended to clarify that no use
of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas
trees has been terminated.

regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
