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.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
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 August 2, 2010. 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 product(s)
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, productspecific 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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:52 Feb 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
effective date of the cancellation order.
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.

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
SUMMARY: Background. On June 15,
1984, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board of

of and assign OMB control numbers to
collection of information requests and
requirements conducted or sponsored
by the Board under conditions set forth
in 5 CFR 1320 Appendix A.1. Boardapproved collections of information are
incorporated into the official OMB
inventory of currently approved
collections of information. Copies of the
Paperwork Reduction Act Submission,
supporting statements and approved
collection of information instruments
are placed into OMB’s public docket
files. The Federal Reserve may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposals
The following information
collections, which are being handled
under this delegated authority, have
received initial Board approval and are
hereby published for comment. At the
end of the comment period, the
proposed information collections, along
with an analysis of comments and
recommendations received, will be
submitted to the Board for final
approval under OMB delegated
authority. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Federal Reserve’s
functions; including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Federal
Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection,

work papers would, in such form, be
confidential pursuant to exemption 8 of
the Freedom of Information Act [5
U.S.C. 552(b)(8)].
Abstract: Each state member bank
must develop and implement a written
security program and maintain it in the

determining the need for additional
security devices and procedures based
on the location of the banking office.

bank branches and agencies and are

Abstract: The FR MSD–4 collects
information, such as personal history
and professional qualifications, on an
employee whom the bank wishes to
assume the duties of a municipal
securities principal or representative.
The FR MSD–5 collects the date of, and
reason for, termination of such an
employee.

Act of 1986 (the Act) requires financial
institutions to notify their appropriate
regulatory authority of their intent to
engage in government securities broker
or dealer activity, to amend information
submitted previously, and to record
their termination of such activity. The
Federal Reserve Board uses the
information in its supervisory capacity
to measure compliance with the Act.
