Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 22, 2009 / Notices
Table 2 of this unit includes the
names and addresses of record for all
registrants of the products in Table 1 of
this unit, in sequence by EPA company

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 canceled.
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, the
Administrator may approve such a
request.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation must submit
such withdrawal in writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked
before May 22, 2009. This written
withdrawal of the request for
cancellation will apply only to the
applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request
listed in this notice. If the products have
been subject to a previous cancellation
action, the effective date of cancellation
and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling. The
withdrawal request must also include a
commitment to pay any reregistration
fees due, and to fulfill any applicable
unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will
be the date of the cancellation order.
The orders effecting these requested
cancellations will generally permit a
registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for 1 year after the date the
cancellation request was received. This
policy is in accordance with the
Agency’s statement of policy as
prescribed in the Federal Register of
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL–
3846–4). Exceptions to this general rule
will be made if a product poses a risk
concern, or is in noncompliance with
reregistration requirements, or is subject
to a data call-in. In all cases, product-
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
specific disposition dates will be given
in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products which are
currently in the United States and
which have been packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation action.
Unless the provisions of an earlier order
apply, existing stocks already in the
hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until
they are exhausted, provided that such
further sale and use comply with the
EPA-approved label and labeling of the
affected product. Exception to these
general rules will be made in specific
cases when more stringent restrictions
on sale, distribution, or use of the
products or their ingredients have
already been imposed, as in a special
review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk
concerns associated with a particular
chemical.

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.88(AM) states that the licensee of each
broadcast station is required to satisfy all reasonable complaints of
blanketing interference within the 1 V/m contour.
47 CFR 73.318(b)(FM) states that after January 1, 1985, permittees
or licensees who either (1) Commence program tests, (2) replace the
antennas, or (3) request facilities modifications and are issued a new
construction permit must satisfy all complaints of blanketing
interference which are received by the station during a one year
period.
47 CFR 73.318(c)(FM) states that a permittee collocating with one
or more existing stations and beginning program tests on or after
January 1, 1985, must assume full financial responsibility for
remedying new complaints of blanketing interference for a period of one
year.
Under 47 CFR 73.88(AM), 73.318(FM), and 73.685(d)(TV), the licensee
is financially responsible for resolving complaints of interference
within one year of program test authority when certain conditions are
met. After the first year, a licensee is only required to provide
technical assistance to determine the cause of interference.
The FCC has an outstanding Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in
MM Docket No. 96-62, In the Matter of Amendment of part 73 of the
Commission's Rules to More Effectively Resolve Broadcast Blanketing
Interference, Including Interference to Consumer Electronics and Other
Communications Devices. The NPRM has proposed to provide detailed
clarification of the AM, FM, and TV licensee's responsibilities in
resolving/eliminating blanketing interference caused by their
individual stations. The NPRM has also proposed to consolidate all
blanketing interference rules under a new section 47 CFR 73.1630,
``Blanketing Interference.'' This new rule has been designed to
facilitate the resolution of broadcast interference problems and set
forth all responsibilities of the licensee/
[[Page 18382]]
permittee of a broadcast station. To date, final rules have not been
adopted.
